And ITV4 are now showing the damn Murray match so I have to watch the rest of this match on the laptop. Awful mess on that last point to drop serve by Novak.

deja vu? Superstitious Novak thinking things are against him and then following the belief with his play.

Hope nobody in the UK was watching ITV4 - they just switched to Murray/Ferrer.

Yup, unbelievable they're showing that tripe instead of the biggest match in years.

I had to run out at 3-0 and come back to Nadal holding serve for 4-4. ¿Qué pasó?

^ Just being realistic. I know losing a set is losing a set, but from 4-0 up that will screw with his head big time.

Maybe, but I think there will be a lot of momentum swings as this plays out. Still, Novak will be kicking himself for some of those gimmees he put into into the net... and yeah, if he loses the first set then the job gets a whole lot tougher.

Glad Novak is not backing away from playing the lines and corners, despite those misses the last few games. You gotta stay aggressive if you want this.

So typical. After dumping his last service game spectacularly he wins the next to love.

On the other hand if he ends up winning, it could help having battled an early storm.

Yup I have to agree. I well know how destabilising it can be to run out in front in a match, and then just because the other person settles in you start doubting yourself. It takes a while to get back into balance after that
