OH NO!!! Not the overhead into the net! I now predict 61 61 for sets 2 and 3.

What's with the dropshots? They're not working. Get rid of them, plz.

I love how freely Nadal was hitting in that point. Very confident. Definitely improved play.

Roger is just a poor fly trapped in Rafa's topspin net, it only gets worse with time

Roger is just a poor fly trapped in Rafa's topspin net, it only gets worse with time Great image! So winning a game is just some more flailing of the trapped fly, not a sign of hope as we would wish.

By the way Li Na's win yesterday is a big headline on the FRONT PAGE of today's NY Times. So, yeah, tennis does get some extra attention for that. China > Belgium in the news world!

Federror He knows exactly how Nadal's going to hit the next ball but there's nothing he can do about it Also, the red vs. blue outfits are very helpful visually.

Uh oh. Roger saved breakpoints to hold in his last service game and has just come from 40-0 to deuce on Rafa's serve.

That was a SEWTA backhand. Rafa's BH to lose serve that is. Roger's back to his earlier form in the match.

Great Fed volley to save BP... Fed's serving has been clutch on BPs. Even in his previous service game - just too good.

It is like Rafa recovered the confidence he had before losing those finals to Djoko

That rain break lasted less time than a Mary Pierce injury time-out.

Ooooooooh I would be SO PISSED if I couldn't get to my seat for possibly the last two points of the second set. Lulz.

I think it's more that Nadal was dulled...he looks scared

Yeah, Nadal looks shaky but Fed is really hitting out now. Too good.
