• first set is in the bag.
  6-2 to nadal.
  
  nadal is chipping away at his spirit and his belief at the moment.
  
  
  first you break the spirit. and then you put a dent in the belief.

• nadal should have been able to win that 54 shot rally. he missed the easiest shot.
  
  
  he breaks back to get back on serve but clearly he should have already had the inside track in this set.

• this is not going to be easy. nadal is starting to play like crap all of a bloody sudden.
  
  he is letting him dictate all the points now.

• 3 breaks in a row for nole.
  
  nadal is going to blow this opportunity to snatch #13 at this rate.
  
  
  
  right now he looks flustered.
  
  winner of this set is probably going to win the match.

• oh well. it was fun while it lasted.
  
  nadal is losing every long rally at the moment.
  
  
  and that is the key to victory. you have to win the long points to dent somebody`s belief.
  
  
  
  I think nadal is going to blow this match unless he starts imposing his will on this guy.

• affirmative general sid.
  
  
  that was a big hold.
  
  and now he has to focus hard on the return. he has been returning poorly for a while now.
  
  
  he has to fix that if he is to take this match.
  
  
  just too many careless return games from nadal.

• if nadal can fix the return and start winning most of the long rallies he has a shot in this match.
  
  
  but it starts with the return. he is not putting any pressure on his serve at all.
  
  so nole has it almost too easy at the moment.

• he is still not returning well enough but got that break anyway.
  
  
  
  and not to increase the focus on the serve.
