Rafa Nadal qualified for the final at Roland Garros after three races to break in Jürgen Melzer. The Spaniard, who still leaves a good feeling on the clay of Paris, is just a way of gaining their fifth Roland Garros and recover the world's No. 1. Only Robin Soderling of Manacor separates such an undertaking.
Rafa Nadal beat Austria's Jurgen Melzer by aggregate score of 6-2, 6-3, 7-6 (6) after two hours and nine minutes of play in the crash which closed the day at a packed Philippe Chatrier for the occasion. The start of the game drew a match played, with both players plugged in the service, winning two of the first three games in white. It was clear that Nadal would try to take the lead in points with his right, while Melzer would choose to be aggressive and go to the network to have minimum option. Come to Ecuador in the set, broke Rafa's serve Jürgen, who then left the game at times and paid for expensive mistakes. Nadal settlement Meng in the first half hour thanks to a game got on track, displaying a varied repertoire and a love right now. Even at that time dared go up and finalize the points in the network.
Melzer had not played in five previous matches of this year's Roland Garros on Centre Court and seemed to expect to get big. The Austrian, who will leave Paris within the global Top-20, was too hasty, rushing to the net like crazy and trying not to play not a single exchange from the bottom of the track. The points with many long rallies were favored Spanish side. Rafa got his first break option in the second game, but did not break the serve of Vienna until the sixth game, it was enough income to Spanish to take the second set to locker.
The white game the rest of Nadal at the start of the third set seemed to be the final nail in one of the more placid matches for Spanish so far. However, the Spaniard lifted his foot off the accelerator at the same time as the hammering of Melzer began to find online. An untimely double fault put her rival Rafa in the match and made the respectable equal enjoy the highlights of the meeting. When Nadal get to play again on the track, took the baton of the points with his right and shook his opponent from side to side of the track, won a new break that ultimately turned to look. Manacor had the option of closing the match with 5-3 and 5-4 the rest of the service, but not seized the opportunity. Melzer was not dead. "If I got here, is because I have to do," he heard himself screaming at the Austrian one of the breaks in the chair. Already before Djokovic rallied (When I was two sets and 2-0 down) in the previous round and tried to do the same in the semifinals.
He tried, that's for sure. Nadal saw a party that had won in the fast lane could be extended for other absurdly. Came the tie-break and with it the nerves of the two, beating stiff and traded mini-breaks in sudden death. Rafa again show that cost him close out the game to let slip two match points (6-4), while the third was the charm. The other side of Melzer stood on the network and cuffs Nadal rose to Parisian sky at the same time his passport was stamped for the grand final on Sunday (15:00, Spanish time). His opponent, an old acquaintance: the Swede Robin Soderling, Nadal executioner last year round, and the only one who has managed to break into Spanish on the Parisian clay. There are five previous between the two players, with a background of 3-2 in favor of Spanish. Nadal won the three first (Roland Garros 2006, Wimbledon 2007, Rome 2009) and Soderling the last two (Roland Garros Masters Cup 2009 and London 2009).
