Novak breaks at 4-4 in the second.
He won a spectacular point at 15-30.

After wasting three 3 Cps, Novak wins. Congrats!

Just came back when Nole was serving for the match.

A few too many UE comming from the FH by Novak. Other than that, he got in good form.

Novak a bit too steady for Tits. Congrats to both though. If you give Nole all the time in the world to play his game on clay, you better be named Rafa and be in good form. The way this match was played, they could play 10 sets and Nole would win 9.5. Guys like Tits have to learn to take time away from good opponents.

Novak in his on court speech, he is pleased because he was not in form since the AO.
His win over Thiem boosted his confidence. No wonder.

No surprises today. Felt it will be hard for the greek to pull another upset today. One step at the time I guess.

I thought @kskate2 said that the got rid of the golden toilet brush as the trophy here. But, Novak was given that toilet brush only.

Novak hasn't always been steady in the presence of tits. At least of the Bollywood variety.

Still a good week for Perseus. Pretty big stuff to get a win over Rafa on clay after the decimation Down Under. I only saw the last few games of the match yesterday but it was definitely the best I've seen him hit his backhand.
