David Nalbandian  

Nadal battled 5 match points and the 0-2 head-to-head psychological low point to register one of the best comeback wins of his career. After winning the first set 6-3, Nalbandian looked quite confident getting an early break in the second set, but could not capitalise, even on the 5 match point opportunities and lost the 2 hour 54 minutes scuffle to truly the World Number One Rafael Nadal, losing the final set without a game.
