Nadal answers with 3 donations. In fact, one backhand was a donation to the whole crowd.

 

[Front242]

All even now. Best of 3 now.

As suspected, Nadal didn't exactly cruise after that game in which he got the break, nor was he able to maintain the aggression he displayed. But he wins the set regardless which should calm him down. Next set is crucial as it will be the only set we'll play tonight.

For the sake of superstition, I saw Nadal is still the favorite. We can't have Tented and Broken trying to Jinx novak

 

[Front242]

Ferrer's playing like Nadal's pigeon again just as a load of pigeons fly past the camera.

Worst game David play so far , the first set of the third. He should have started better.

The pigeons put him off. He thought they were taking the mick calling him a pigeon

dont think ferrers gonna win this anymore.

 

[crystalfire]

well it was nice effort by ferrer.

 

[Front242]

After a good first set Ferrer is playing pathetic right now.

 

[brokenshoelace]

While I don't think it will make a huge difference, Ferrer is fortunate that this match is unlikely to finish today (unless he gets completely blown out for the rest of this set and in the next one), otherwise this would be over.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Right now David is going " Damn you daylight savings time ! "

Not a hope lol :laydownlaughing The last 2 service games have been horrendous and he totally let Nadal off the hook when he had a couple of deuces towards the end of set 2.

Ferrer's level in the second wasn't that far below the set first. It was ultimately decided by one good game by Nadal in which he broke (about the only really good game he played in the entire match). Ferrer has completely fallen apart now though. It's inexcusable. Not the double break, but the manner.
