just finished the replay of Fedal...wow what a refreshing change from the usual mind numbing Nadal forehand blasting Fed backhand. this time Fed not only had a game plan but managed to stick with it for most of a match. Usually if he starts getting into trouble against Rafa he forgets any strategy and quickly gives up the ghost. That 2nd last point at 30 all was probably one of the top 3 gutsiest I've ever seen Fed play.
And speaking of strategy, Isner executed almost perfectly today too. should be interesting to see tomorrow if Roger can avenge his sad Davis cup loss.
