That second set between Nishikori and Joker was a complete reversal of the first set as Joker takes it 6-1.

Looks like quite the match. Djokovic seems to be dominating since the first set. Will take a huge effort from Kei to pull it off.

Joker takes it winning the third set 6-3. He might not be all the way back, but he certainly played some top level tennis over the final two sets today.

Talk about a major bracket buster for both the French Open and Wimbledon coming up. Likely a 15 seed by the time the dust settles, Novak will end up potentially ruining someones event prematurely.

Both men went to a place I haven't seen in a long time. Safe to say Novak is back , he made Nadal elevate his game. Nadal takes the first set 7-6.

Rafa just broke Joker's spirit in that match. Running Novak from side-to-side in some lung busting rallies.

Both men went for it out there , was my favorite match I've seen all year. Novak looks like he can return to contender status soon.

Rats, Vasek lost the Busna final to Ebden by a 7-6 6-1 scoreline.

So, Zverev breaks Nadal in the first game and I'm thinking, "Hey, maybe we're gonna have a very competitive final". Them Rafa rolls off six straight game to take the opening set.

Thanks for the update, that's too bad for Vasek. Vasek has the potential to be a top 50 player could see him return there this year hopefully.
Nadal absolutely beats down Zherev 6-1 in the first set , just goes to show how no one is even close to Nadals level right now.
And of course Zverev breaks Nadal to go up 2-0 in the 2nd set, to make my above statement look bad.

Wow, I guess I spoke too soon as Zverev leads 5-0 in set 2. Alex is playing much better this set and some unforced errors have crept into Rafa's game.
