Nadal looks in the mood to put Novak in his place. Both playing well early on, the ball is really getting pummelled around he court.

Yeah think nadal will remind dj of who's number 1.

Djokovic is being way too passive imo

His shots are extra heavy today too. A few extra thousands of rpm

Doesn't look like the gap has been closed on Nadal, not that its been one sided but Nadal looks a cut above.

tennis is extraordinary, 1 hour ago Nole was almost done and now we're 1-1, magic :lol:

Wasn't expecting that, great fighting by Novak and finally gets the set. Only 25% 1st serves in the set for Nadal and he still could have taken it, if he picks hat back up he should still come through.

btw Novak deserved this 2nd plus Rafa only had 25% of 1st serves

the fact that he only made 25% first serves and still played that tight of set! wow :shock:

And he loses serve again for the third time in a row. 1st set he was completely dominant on serve, very odd it has gone off so badly

Serve is not a weapon for Nadal. Not sure, but difference between his 1st and 2nd serve won't be as big as for other players.

Djokovic has upped his game but Nadal has seriously fallen away

by **fedfan** » Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:04

Nowadays I'd say serve is a big weapon for Rafa, especially on hard courts. Djokovic is rock solid and it is Nadal breaking down, very odd turnaround.
