Australian Open Final: Rafael Nadal (9) v Roger Federer (17)

[britbox]

Much better return from Fed.

 

[Moxie]

Here comes the long slog.

 

[DarthFed]

Backhandnis way better than forehand so far

 

[mrzz]

now that´s a volley

 

[DarthFed]

Amazing volley!

 

[DarthFed]

Tentative point from Roger

 

[Moxie]

Big hold.

 

[mrzz]

yes, big hold

 

[DarthFed]

Just playing like a scrub, didn't take long

 

[mrzz]

at least it seems Federer is awake again

 

[britbox]

Big hold for Rafa. Roger can't keep racking up up piles of unconverted break points as per usual... or we'll just see a familiar outcome.

 

[DarthFed]

This will be a 6-1 set like 2012

 

[mrzz]

he is giving too much free points

 

[britbox]

Needs an easy hold here. He will get looks at the Nadal service game so he has to protect his own.

 

[mrzz]

and we keep the trend

 

[DarthFed]

What a joke

 

[britbox]

Pathetic service game.

 

[DarthFed]

He is losing in 4, that's a given

 

[Moxie]

There's the pass he's been looking for.

 

[britbox]

Well, he isn't winning in 3 for sure.
