Madness! Great matchup of different pace, crosscourts vs rails, etc. But this is also sort of what you get between two players who share incredible defense, a low error rate (on this day), and limited ability to put the ball away...
28:40 How the hell was that a no let?! Although there was considerable interference Rodriguez almost got through and reached the ball. It was an easy ball he could return from the middle of the court. And the review decision! Outrageous. Columbian was robbed
+Siatkowkarzadzi I completly agree, also with that last call.... I mean if you know these players get to everything. If they are interfered like the play you pointed to, just let them fucking have the let.
I have a reply above about why I agreed with both no-let decisions against Rodriguez in the tiebreak. It is detailed, but in short, I felt that in both cases Rodriguez put himself in a bad position with his shot, and then ran straight into Castagnet in both cases, instead of taking a correct path to play the ball. If you disagree with this short answer, I encourage you to scroll up to a reply above where I comment, and we can discuss it there as well. I admit that I could be wrong, all of this is just my opinion.

Brutal game.
some serious wheels on display here.
+alyberop1 Wheels? More like rocket thrusters!
Man! Do these guys èver run out of oxygen??
How are some of these calls no let??? Blocking is so annoying arrg
Are these the two fastest players on tour?
I'd have given the lets every time. Seems sad to have decided such a great game with a dubious "no Let" call.
+japeking1 i completely agree, especially that last let call, that was without a doubt a let and he doesn't get it. so frustrating!
+japeking1 Really seemed like the judges were out to get Rodriguez. Perhaps it was rigged? I'd like to see these judges on trial.
33:14 let, Rodriguez is right, let
The referee was totally out to get rodriguez, giving him no lets, especially the last no let
31:32 Stroke to Castagnet
No let though, That definitely wasn't a let
hell in a fishbowl... of lactic acid
Agree in the comments if you think Rodriguez should've had lets
horrible last call.

Rodriguez couldn't do anything, let AND STROKE
I think he tripped him up
bad refereeing ... specially the last call was terrible.
