F**k it. Still awake and might as well stay up now for a bit. Didn't realize it had started!

Very poor game from Zverev here. Serving is poor. Of course just as I'm typing he serves an ace!

Zverev started puting a lot of pressure on Nadal but his level dropped quickly. Was a bp away from a double break. Now serving at 3-2.

2 unreal 2nd serves by Zverev. Slice out wide and then a beast of a 2nd serve to the body.

Quality of the match dropped a lot. Nadal adjusted well to Zverev´s game but could not capitalize a lost the set on an UFE.

Poor alright. May well go back to bed soon. Zverev's UFE ratio and serving have been poor but he can surely only get better or who knows, maybe more of the same. Not great viewing though.

I wish I could watch the game. We cancelled our cable, so no ESPN3, and I can't find a stream...I think the feds cracked down on that.

Nadal breaks on his classic style with four UFE´s from Zverev.

I can't seem to get Rod Laver Arena - all of them seem to be some other match...women's doubles!

I haven't seen Rafa play in a long time. His new, slightly more slender build makes his left arm look even larger!

Quads look bigger than they have recently too I reckon. Poor match this, Zverev is making way too many errors now. Definitely heading back to bed now at nearly 6:30am! Hopefully things will pick up and the match will improve.

Nice. Just a quick check of the scores before I head to bed and 1 set all in the Istomin v Carreno Busta match and Istomin is up 3-0 in set 3. Hopefully he goes on to win.

The difference in tennis IQ is immense. It took Nadal the first two games to adjust to Zverev and slow his own pace. It took Zverev two sets to realize that.

Nadal deserved the break in the third game of the third set, but Zverev got lucky on that one.
