Yes, because it was a live match (the overall winner of the tie was not known yet).

The best match for me is Del Potro vs Nadal. Del Potro is certainly not a good mover on this surface but neither was Muller.All Del Potro has to do is serve big,hold his serve and wait for a slight chance on return or take himself into tiebreaks where anything can happen.If he gets himself at 6 all it`s not like Nadal is that big of a favourite and certainly Del Potro can get 1 or 2 good returns in to win.The question is if he can serve consistent enough to do it over a long period of time,like 4 or 5 sets that`s the problem.
