Like I said, it looks like Nadal might have to wait for 15 again

R rafanoy1992 Multiple Major Winner Joined Apr 15, 2013 Messages 4,567 Reactions 3,198 Points 113 Jan 29, 2017 #326 True...but the thing right now is that Nadal is struggling to hold serve

El Dude The GOAT Joined Apr 14, 2013 Messages 10,041 Reactions 5,608 Points 113 Jan 29, 2017 #338 Yep. And as with those matches Roger needs to win it in four as Rafa always wins the seesaw of momentum
