Djokovic keeps the pressure on, but Nadal holds to go 4-2 to Djokovic.
Anything could happen but for now, the momentum remains with Djokovic. Nadal has to shift up a gear, and do something about that body language. Easy to say for me - it must be tough out there.

Nadal is totally outplayed by Djokovic in this third set. Djokovic leads 2-1 in this match.

Rafa looking very fatigued trying to fend off that return at his feet

OMG. Novak starts the 4th set serving

tennisfan78 · « **Reply #1209 on:** January 29, 2012, 05:57:41 AM »

wow, Djokovic was in total control of that set and won it easily 6-2

that was one cocky fist pump from nole

Well, this is majestic stuff from Djokovic. What serenity & poise. Thus far, in these last 2 sets, he has effectively dismantled Nadal's game. Nadal, the consummate fighter, must retain his belief. Without it, this will be over in 4.

Start preparing your RUP speech. Rafa

Nadal needs to be aggressive during rally especially his backhand. The problem is his backhand is not good as Djokovic. Djokovic's short cross-court forehand and backhand down the line really makes a lot of pressure to Nadal's weak backhand.

It is not enough. He also need to figure out his 1st serve back and he needs to serve to Djokovic's body.

BABBLELOT - have you put matchsticks in your eyes & / or dosed up on coffee?

Now the pressure on Nadal's serve.

He holds. 1-1 in the 4th set.

Babblelot · « **Reply #1216 on:** January 29, 2012, 06:15:56 AM »

Wow I've never seen Rafa swat at a ball like that.

Gawdblessya · « **Reply #1217 on:** January 29, 2012, 06:16:33 AM »

Love hold by Djokovic. Will he get the break now?

HarryWild · « **Reply #1218 on:** January 29, 2012, 06:18:13 AM »

Might be a repeat season for Djokovic in 2012; if he continues at this level of play!

Are we at the point yet where this is the same familiar inevitability of a Fed-Rafa match?
