Rafa looking on fine form. But Lorenzi was not likely to be the guy to challenge him.

Rafa looks good so far..these attractive young ball girls :eyepop are lucky that Stan is not in this tournament :eyepop

This Lorenzi dude is loud. Sounds worse than a wounded animal.

True, but at least Rafa can get better rhythm than with Zverev

 

[Moxie]

Nadal is playing better than he has in 2 years. Great to see!

 

[Moxie]

Here comes the popcorn match!

 

[Carol]

This match has finished fast and at least Rafa got better rhythm than playing vs Zverev

Yep..noisy he is..He dresses like a the guys I would see playing by the lake in Chicago near Grant Park

 

[kskate2]

2 games in and Delpo/Novak are already blasting the ball at each other. This will be a cracker

 

[Moxie]

Some heavy slugging. I've been waiting for some of our better tennis technicians to weigh in on this new hybrid backhand of Juan's.

 

[kskate2]

After an early exchange of breaks, DP breaks again at 4-4 and then serves out the opener.

 

[Moxie]

Djokovic looked a little sloppy and half-hearted in a few crucial moments in that set, when he got broken and right at the end. Anyway, del Potro is halfway to the finish line.

 

[Carol]

What unbalanced match, time to sleep :zzz:

 

[Carol]

I was waiting for a more exciting match, very unbalanced match, time to sleep

 

[Moxie]

Hmm...you're rather hard to please. Anyway, it'll go 3.

Delpo/ Djoker live on Youtube at the mo.

This one's a corker, and Novak just evens it back up. I'd love to go to bed, but I can't stop watching.

Delpo has the break for 4-3 in the third...
