Special mention to the solid comedy that was the women's doubles final. You'll always get that when there's a lot at stake for Vesnina.
Now, should I watch the entire Fed Nadal match, or should I spare some time and tune in for the third set?

What lead did Vesnina choke? Didn't watch but saw people LOLing on Twitter.

From 2-5 down it was Errani/Vinci versus Vesnina and it did not end well. That one time that Makarova got the ball at 6-5 30-0 she hit it in Vesnina. Not sure if by accident.

So far this is the highest quality Fedal match in years

Rafa is playing terrible on all break points so far.
Pete Sampras is here

It's so weird, you feel like Fed is playing better, yet it was Rafa who had several break points. 5-5

Such an intense rally ending with such a lame Fed BH

I don't trust Fed not to fizzle out once Rafa takes the set.

I only saw the last point of the first set. Nadal is either leaking or melting, that's a lot of sweat.

Fed is GOATing only when he's BP down. He can't touch Rafa's serve

How did Nadal get that back from BEHIND him??

Rafa finally takes a BP. Bye Fed.

Two amazing points for Rafa to pull back to 30-30...

I've been away for like 15 minutes, how come they basically completed a set already?
Tuned in from 0-30 in this last game, saw some fantastic points from Rafa

This set has largely looked a lot more like latter-day Fedal matches usually look. Rafa prolonging rallies, moving Fed around, pushing Fed back, Fed can't really respond.

After breaking Fed's serve in the 3rd set, Rafa decided to take pity on him and gifted Roger with 2 break points by making forehand errors.

Roger is not the one to be ungrateful, so he committed several forehand errors to give Rafa break points.
Such a hilarious moment, Roger saved the 2nd break point with his serve, screamed a long type of Cmon, Nadal challenged the serve and was right, it was long, lol.
Roger holds though 3-2

Terrible Fed netted BH and FH that clipped the net to sail long and Rafa has the break back.

What a horrible game from Roger to get broken, he screams his versions of C'mon after almost every positive point from him, and yet he has no intensity. The match feels so casual.

Almost shades of BAG's desperate ajdeeeeeeees. Fed, maybe the net hates you because you keep hitting it with BHs like that |

Roger's shank actually landed in court this time, but rafa still won the point even though Roger hit a great backhand down the line in it. Deuce
oops, match point SAVED
