Nadal has got to find a way to add more power to his serves, find a way to hold his service games easily and needs to win some quick points to save some energy.

Match has been pretty amazing IMO. Quality shots combined with some great rallys.
Nadal 8/1 to win if anyones feeling optimistic.
I guess I'm just not a fan of this kind of tennis. I like a nice serve one-two and players who take risks.
Some of the rallies and shots have been breath taking !!
That is just too good. What a point, and again another great rally. How can people say this is a poor match?
Seconded.
Time to pack it up Nadal. This one is over.
Poor was an exaggeration to be fair. I just think it's a bit predictable. Every point is a long rally and the styles really negate each other. I preferred the Federer-Djokovic match where there was a great mix of shorter and longer rallys.
Also, I don't like it when the next break is right around the corner. It's like women's tennis where who is serving is less relevant!
I agree with Becker! Nadal doesn't look like he has a game plan!! Nadal needs to do something different !! Anything ! He can't rely on his stamina!!
I think wr8 has gone to sleep.
Has wr8_utd topped himself yet?
Djokovic - Fed was of great quality too no doubt. I get what you are saying, you know that Nadal is going to slug it out, but against Djokovic it isn't enough.
I would say that Djokovic using drop shots is a little out of the norm for him - or at least them not hitting the net!

Me too. I miss watching Sampras and Goran play. With their monster serves and their serve & volleys, they hold so easily and win easy, quick points.
He's sticking to his usual game which involves lots of rallys and his backhand isn't effective at all against Djokovic. If he really wants to put some pressure on him he has to start playing some more courageous shots. Perhaps some more winners down the lines.
I'm not really bothered anymore. I've accepted that the only way for Nadal to win Slams is to pray that someone takes out Djoko.
If only the fecker had held his serve. Anyways I hope he can at least hold this set.
None of them can hold serve 
Fcukers!! Shouting during rallies is unacceptable!!
You're either a dalek or you're being paid per exclamation mark.
Oh come on Rafa...
Is this women's tennis? embarrassing, can't hold.a.fecking serve. Give me sampras back please.
It's my iPhone! Easier to use exclamation Mark!
There are some truly retarded people among that New York crowd.
Another 5th game duel.....
Sampras' second serve is equal to their first.
Finally some power hitting from Nadal.
Scoreline one sided but this is epic tennis.
I think it will be way more than these guys' first serve. Same with Roddick.Sampras' second serve is equal to their first.
Both players are great returners! Of course we will have breaks! Quality drop shot from the baseline by Novak!!
Embarrassing?? Hell Naw!! Quality shots!!
Embarrassing?? Hell Naw!! Quality shots!!
Even the commentator seems lost for words.
What a fecking point from Djokovic.
Incredible returning.
Incredible returning.
Nadal is soooo shit.............i think Murray would beat Djokovic today.
It's only a joke ;-)
It's only a joke ;-)
What a match. Nadal's just shaking his head in disbelief.
Bastard!
No wait I think Serena's first serve will match Nadal's first serve.Sampras' second serve is equal to their first.
Having a laugh, surely?
Someone just hold a fecking service game!
And these can really grunt.
And these can really grunt.
Ahhh...bloody white text
The power and accuracy on display is amazing.
