Roger needed that more than Rafa to state the obvious. Turned it up in the breaker.

Roger is playing with incredible pace today and this may be the deciding factor in the match if he can keep it going.

Rafa taking a page out of the Kei Nishikori book.

Nadal is certainly serving as well as I've seen him. Great mix and well enough to win this match. If he doesn't start getting looks in the return game it will all be moot though.

Nadal: Watch me waste break points
Federer: Hold my beer

Roger pays the price for not getting the breaks.

There's a sizable gap opening on the second serve efficiency in Nadal's favor. Roger needs to do a much better job on his second as this match progresses.

Well, this set turned to crap for Roger in essentially 15 minutes.

Which is odd because Nadal is clearly telegraphing wide on the second serve, but Roger not adapting. Needs to start running around to the forehand and teeing off.

Feels like this is match is going to have quite a few momentum changes from set to set at this rate.

This 2nd set was huge for Nadal's mental game. He hasn't taken a set off Federer outside clay since 2017.
Safe to say this 3rd set is going to be huge.

And just like that Fed's serve is back on point.

There's that Fed one-hander down the line. Half a chance here at 30-all. A break opportunity at 30-40 for Fed.
edit: A break it is.

The level of tennis has been racheted up in this 3rd set.

As the saying goes, it's not a break unless you consolidate, so Roger digging deep there to get it.

Nadal has ratcheted up his grunting as well.
I admire Roger’s quiet.

That's why it's hilarious when Kyrgios plays Nadal because you'll notice as Nadal increases his grunting, so does Kyrgios in retaliation.
