About David's 6-2, 6-4 victory last night - maybe the most important thing was that he didn't feel any pain, there was no trouble with his hip. (Taping his wrist seemingly was just a precaution.) Which is even more important as he had to work harder and cover a lot more ground than in his previous matches. I thought David moved well throughout the match, though he was visibly exhausted afterwards. And once again, it was amazing to see how much risk he took with his forehand - and that more often than not, it worked. Unlike his serve, which wasn't as impressive as in San Juan and fell apart a little in the second set...
For those who couldn't watch David's match against Moya, someone (thank you, whoever you are :) has recorded the match and put it up on Megaupload (stream recording, flv format).

And here's a short clip filmed by Tamar from the stands, showing one of those entertaining rallies in the second set, complete with a "hot dog" from David...

Julia and Tamar, you ladies are really up on these things. I was going to post an FYI when I checked the Copa Peugeot website an hour ago and learned David's match was changed to the earlier time slot. Checked the site again a little later and noticed in bold red: Sabado 19/12/09-Jornada Suspendida. Bummer. Glad I know some Spanish.
