Back on serve. I'll be surprised if this goes to three.

Victoria Silvstedt in the stands.... completely forgot there was a tennis match.

Victoria Silvstedt in the stands.... completely forgot there was a tennis match.

There are all kinds of pretty people in the stands.
This is Monte Carlo after-all.

 

[Denis]

Ok here we go: 4 points from the title!

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Nole wins 3 games in a row, now up 5-4 in the second set.
Lets see if Rafa can hold serve her.

Rafa played that last point perfect only to screw up the easiest shot...darn...
That guy that jumped from 39k up , Baumgartner or something, is in the audience as well...I always have this feeling that guys like that die from falling off the stairs or something...

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Rafa's first serve went MIA in the 10th game of the second set but Nole could not take advantage, only managing mediocre returns.
Rafa holds for 5-5

 

[Denis]

The slice gets Nadal the break, bleh...

 

[kskate2]

Nole going after the lines twice, misses wide and Nadal will serve for the 2nd set 6-5

Will serve for the set now.
Looks like a 3rd set is coming.

 

[kskate2]

0-40

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

And Nole breaks at LOVE!!!

Tie breaker, anyone?

Nole going after the lines twice, misses wide and Nadal will serve for the 2nd set 6-5

I think he went for it too early there, those were difficult shots he missed.

Now he is using patience and Rafa is missing.
Nole up 5-1 in the tie breaker...
Rafa already looks defeated.

 

[Denis]

5-1!

 

[Riotbeard]

Up two mini-breaks

 

[Denis]

5 match points... i mean championship points

 

[britbox]

Big win for Novak. Dominant and well deserved. Maybe this will set the tempo for the rest of the summer. I thought Novak had to beat Nadal before Roland Garros and he's done it... very convincingly.

 

[Riotbeard]

Victory in Monti Carlo! I am glad I novak in my draw!

 

[Front242]

Awesome! Brilliant performance from Djokovic.
