Nadal's best game of the match. Usually, when he's in full confidence mode on clay, it would be the turning point and he doesn't look back. Something tells me that's not the case here, especially with Ferrer being in his service games.

If Rafa wins, I hope Novak doesn't watch highlights, so he can mentally prepare as if Rafa is playing really well.

Why would he want anything but the truth in order to be accurately prepared?

I'm not convinced Rafa is even going to win this match, but I agree he's not winning the tournament.

So much for the bad back said Wilander there. Was thinking the same thing before he said it. Though the first serve was wide it was a rocket.

Something tells me we have a new winner at RG this year.

Unless that winner's name is Novak Djokovic, we don't.

This entire clay season, I think Nadal is clearly not playing at the level he usually does. I would be surprised if he beats Djokovic.

Nadal hasn't won this match yet and Djokovic would be a new winner too :cool:

Likewise. I mentioned my passing thought of Andy Murray as RG winner this year while walking home from the gym :D I may have been daydreaming but stranger things have happened!

That ain't happening. Djokovic is going to win RG this year.

Great return by Ferrer after a great FH winner from Nadal the point before.
