Is Rafa back?

[bksballer89]

He's looking good in Shanghai and destroyed Stan last night. In the semis vs Tsonga. If he advances he will face either Murray or Novak in the finals

Well on to the next tourney after losing to Tsonga in 3 sets! Nadal had his chance, but some think he didn't want to play NOLE tomorrow! ;-)

Even though he lost in the final, I thought he played a good match against Fed today. His second-serve return and his second-serve were both sensational, and he was not spraying near as many balls wide as he was earlier in the year. Earlier in the year, he looked like a third-tier player (Tier 1 being Novak, 2 being Federer/Murray), and today he looked like a solid second-tier guy.
