he missed quite a few of them while I was watching anyway. I saw the first set and a few games of the second set.
I think I counted at least 10-11 unforced errors. and they were all easy ones.
he just needs to put in more practice time.
his court positioning and his return also suck. so he will have to fix that as the tournament wears on.
He really doesn't have anyone on this path right now to really challenge him. And if Murray doesn't make the semi and if he's not healthy yet, then it's more than likely that Nadal make the final. Federer will probably go out to Tsonga but even so, he doesn't stand a chance either way.
You can see that Nadal's path is now easier than Nole's because Nole has Wawrinka to deal with in the qtr final and possibly Ferrer in the semi. They will both make him work harder and in this heat, it's not ideal for him.
For Federer, an easy draw is what he needs right now the most in any Slam and for Nadal on hard at least, it's the same deal and grass seems to be trickiest for him regardless but mostly perhaps because of the clay season just prior.
