Description: The 2009 Australian Open was one of the greatest slams ever, in terms of overall quality. And no match produced more drama than the all-Spaniard semifinal between top-seeded Nadal and the 14th seed, Verdasco. Though the tournament is perhaps better remembered for its five-set, four-hour final , this match was arguably closer and of higher quality. Coming into the match, Nadal had won two majors the previous year and had taken the No. 1 ranking from Federer, beating him in a Wimbledon final of the highest quality. But Nadal hadn’t yet won on the hard courts Down Under or at Flushing Meadows. He was showing progress, though, making the semifinals at the U.S. Open & at Melbourne the previous year. And here again he found himself at the same stage of a hard court grand slam against Verdasco. Going into the match, the top seed hadn’t dropped a single set, while Verdasco dropped sets to Andy Murray and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. So Nadal was the clear favorite to win, with Roger Federer waiting in the final for a potential rematch of the Wimbledon 2008 final. But Verdasco would strike an extraordinarily high number of winners during the match, pushing his countryman to the limits. This is a fantastic match; a must see for any tennis fan. It's a rare match-up of two lefties playing at their absolute highest level over 5 sets. No lulls in this one. This match is on 3 DVD-r discs. Buy 2 matches, receive 1 free.
