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

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.

Inexcusable alright. Venturing on cali verbiage there :D

Another game Ferrer gets to deuce and hits the ball miles wide like a clown.

I'm presuming rafa isn't playing like its 2006 just now though..i

Playing better (a lot better) than set 1 but Ferrer has completely gone to crap as well.

Seems Ferrer is hungry. Dying to eat that tasty bagel.

I'd stick to the strategy of not hitting balls into the net or miles wide first and foremost! That strategy is killing him :p At least he can eat now.

Clownfils finally wins set 3. Expected Murray to win 3 sets to 1 which he probably still will.

It's hard to tell how dark it really is.

True yeah. 7:50 here and still very bright but an hour later there. I'd say it's fine to be honest if the sky is clear enough. Peak of summer it's bright here till around 11 and same most of Europe.

Sure would like to see a fully fit Nishikori or Gulbis with a great serving day and zero brain farts play this version of Nadal.
