Almagro is Dumb with a capital D. a guy who's known for having a good serve can't serve it out in 3 tries? I can accept the guy doesn't have the nerves, which is why he's never won anything big. but then tapping Ferrer on the leg during the final changeover, to let him know that he wasn't even going to attempt to break back? and then walking to the net for the handshake before Ferrer even put the last forehand away? he even looked way too happy afterwards for a guy that just choked away his one big shot.
do the Spanish players decide beforehand which one of them is going to advance to the semis? that's how it always is when they have to face Nadal, they just lay down like a coat on a rain puddle. this one looked like Almagro wanted to make it dramatic before allowing Ferrer through as planned.
