Qatar ExxonMobil Open - Gulbis VS Nadal

[djarvik]

Well, Gulbis gets into QF again Last year it was a 3 set loss to a number 1 at the time Roger Federer 2-6, 6-4, 4-6.

Same scenario - different number 1.

I know Nadal is an overwhelming favorite, but it will be so cool if Ernests can pull it off! This will get people talking for sure!

What do you think?

Nadal, easily

I have lost all faith in Gulbis after watching that match against Murray in Cincinnati. Murray played terrible, gulbis should have put him away, and didnt, no faith in him after that match

[djarvik]

Gulbis had a great year. Career high ranking, big wins, close matches etc...

...and all of that in half a season, missing 2 grand slams and rest of the year due to injury.


If anything, I have more faith now - then EVER before in his career

7-5 7-6 Nadal

PS: Gulbis could well be playing Lacko Tommorow

Lack playing great, 5-0 second set! Nadal will still win though.

Nadal might not be at his best but a bagel!

When was the last time that happened?

[fedfan]

Federer Madrid 09?

[Vieira151]

was it that recently? lol

A friend of mine checked and he said Rotterdam 09 vs Murray, but he was injured in that match....

... hard to say.... but i think Rafa 6-0, 6-0 at medium pace

seriously speaking and knowing that breaking Gulibs's serve won't be easy i would say Nadal in 3
3-6, 7-5, 6-3
