imagine first five games of the set lasting almost full hour. crazy.
Feck sake.
Yep, that's probably's Djoko's match in 4 sets now. To throw away a set and double break lead will haunt Nadal.
You never just put away djokovic. Real match starts now.
Another deuce game.. this set will last 2 hours at this rate
McEnroe is definitely from the Roy Keane 'Just vibe it' school of punditry.
This is mad
Novak has warmed up now. Could get tasty
Mentality beast
This match will be going on until 5am French time at this rate 
This will leave mental scars for Nadal. To lose to Novak at RG after being a set and double break up. he'll really need to somehow find a way to regroup and hold here or the next two sets could get ugly.
it’ll swing back towards nadal.
that kind of tennis should be illegal.
Nadal has stopped taking the forehand down the line. Odd. It was really working in the first set.
If it comes down to fitness, as it may, Djokovic will hold the upper hand.
he is a slow starter. The machine is oiling up. He won’t go down without making nadal work like he’s played two 5 setters.
So I guess I'm just going to have to do a borderline negligent job in work tomorrow.
One setpoint gone…
Damn.
Right, not planning to go to bed at 4 am. Good night.
You got novak’d. Thought it’d be a one man show eh... it isn’t like he has never come back before after a horrendous start.
Djoko got this now.
Crazy to see how badly Djokovic was obsecrating for a response from the crowd at the end of the set there only to be met with silence.
Something about him doesn't resonate with fans and the difference in the response to Rafa and him here is startling.
Nadal better pick up his game. He looks as he did in his last match.

Yaah I'm also calling it, eyes already heavy. Haven't a clue how this one will pan out, but head says Novak.
Plenty of behavioral parallels from their playing days as well.
Get in, come on now Rafa.
So lame starting this at 9pm. Insanely crap scheduling.
Yeah we’d have been much better off with the afternoon slot when most of us had to work.
Instead they play when we have to go to sleep in order to go to work in the morning
OK, I don't because I write sport for a living and I watch the match in order to write it, but still...
It's not that hard, start all matches on the main court an hour earlier.
It's midnight and we've potentially got half of this match left...
Never write off the guy with a 107-3 record on this surface
So which Rafa and which Novak are going to come out for the fourth set?
Could also easily be done before 1am local time, that’s not that bad imo.
Not sure why they wait until 8:45pm, maybe to attract US eastcoast viewers after work or some other commercial reason.
McEnroe sneering at players with mental health issues - suggesting Nadal could 'teach' good mental health - is not great, even by his standards.
Idiocy.You mean this one dude....

I mean I like the most that he puts Federer in a wheelchair
Can’t stand this crowd.
Meh, I think all he is saying is that in a twenty year career in the spotlight and Rafa has never made a peep about mental health or declined to play for those reasons. He also said, "can" you teach that.
The atmosphere in the ground is good.
