2017 Australian Open Day 10: Wednesday, Jan 25 - Order of Play

[Front242]

6 games in 2 sets is still nothing like 6 games in best of 5 though. I wouldn't consider that a beat down scoreline either and Roger was pathetic in that match but because of injury. 6-4 is just 1 break of serve and 2013 was the year Roger's back was wrecked. It was actually Roger who was injured there. Didn't even attempt to run after many balls but still only lost the first set by 1 break.

Agreed, which is why I said there hasn't been one off clay.

FO 08 on the other hand ... Painful memories. But that's clay, and Rafa at his best on there.
(Also I think it was the year Fed had had mono at the AO?)

Anyway, happily AO isn't played on clay, so we can still hope.
