This is going to be another 5 setter, right? Can't these guys play a short match for once?

feck... Well done Djokovic. Rafa's usual drop of intensity was well approached by Nole.

But now Rafa recovers his level and wins the 3rd. Then...

i wonder why Rafa doesnt serve a very wide, with a lot of slice, serve into the backhand of the opposite player, at least some times, to make the player run outside the court and play the return almost from the advertisemenst shits... Its normally a nice weapon from player who play with the left hand, like Rios.

fecking Djokovic with his drop in concentration.

He should have closed this set out easily.

It's so clear that Novak is better, when he cuts out the unforced errors no one can compete.

COME ON DJOKOVIC!

Nadal is doing nothing, absolutely nothing. He's simply letting Djokovic error his way out of contention.

It swings around really, but when Djokovic is at his very best he's too good. He's an idiot because many times he'll have an inexplicable drop in concentration.

Anyway. This is definitely poised right now. Massive two games coming up.

It's not a drop in concentration. The intensity that Djok and Rafa play at when they play their best can't be kept up for an entire match.
