Well... in a funny way this is following the script. If Novak goes 2 sets up, can Rafa take it to 5?

I'm not counting Rafa out until the match is over.

Same here. No way it's close to being over.

I can't believe I have to step away for an hour. Crap.

I was probably the biggest basher of Becker when Novak chose him as coach. Since he's come on board, Novak plays the big points better. His net game is exponentially better. Even his point construction (for the most part) has improved. If Nole wins the next set this will be my supper.

His serves are better too

Now Novak should know better not to do a mental walkabout.

Also, he should stop coming in on Rafa's forehand and should come in more on Rafa's backhand.

Lol! I'll have to drive home soon. If there's traffic there will be some serious road rage! :devil

That was the big one for Nole, getting that 2 set lead! Can't ever count Rafa out on this court so Nole would do well to try to jump out early in the 3rd.

No Serbian siesta this set, Nole - end this in 3 and get off court.

Novak has a LOT more confidence in his footing... you can tell by the way he's going after Ralf in this first game.
