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.

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

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.

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

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.
