[britbox]

Even stevens. Great return from Nadal.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Two huge returns from Rosol but Rafa holds, up 5-4.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Rosol finds his first serve and gets an easy hold.

 

[britbox]

5-5

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Rosol will serve to take it to a TB.

 

[crystalfire]

Rooting for rosol. Let's goo

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Huge DTL backhand from Rosol to take this to TB.

 

[Garro]

Huge tie break here....

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Lots of 5 setters today. Both Monfils and Gasquet will play the 5th. set. Kohly already in the 5th.

 

[El Dude]

Meanwhile the two "Frenchmen vs. Young Guns" matches have one to five sets. I've got to like what I've seen from Vesely and Kyrgios, as well as Thiem (who lost to Saville in the 1R).

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Rosol gets the mini break, up 5-3, Rafa serving.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Back on serve in the TB

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Huge serve from Rosol, and it is set point for Rosol, Rafa serving.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Big forehand from rafa, 6-6.

 

[britbox]

Gutsy mini-hold from Nadal.

 

[golds girl]

I don't know why my commentators sound so flabbergasted at this. It's simple logic. I have a great serve and lousy movement, my opponent has a lousy serve and great movement. I pounce on his lousy serve thereby making movement irrelevant. I win.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Set point Rafa, Rosol serving.

 

[britbox]

Set point Nadal

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Wow...DF from Rosol to give it away. 1 set all.

 

[britbox]

Ouch.. a double. Set to Nadal 1-1.
