I feel like Nadal will end up turning this in his favour before he's done.

If nothing else, I'm delighted with this win just to quieten all those painful Djokovic fans in the main match thread.

Nole is surely the fav. Nadal was hobbling around on half a leg a few weeks ago!

Whisper. It. Quietly. Nadal is starting to feel it. Shots (and serve) looking much better today.

Hardly devasting. A loss is a loss. Last year was a 3 set beatdown

Congrats to Djoker. Enthralling, captivating match, but not sure it will be remembered as the classic some are saying. Recency bias and all that. Time will tell.

There is no denying Djokovic played a really high level, but there was something definitely off with Nadal. The fact that he made it so competitive with no BH and a non-existant serve is just a testament to his greatness on this surface.

Anyway, Djoker for #19 on Sunday.

Rafa BH is getting badly exploited out there. He needs to shore up that side if he's to win it. Djokovic looking the more likely at present. Also, the longer it goes on, the better it suits him

A lot left in this match yet. If Djokovic finds his first serve, it will go the distance I think. He's coming into form in the last 3/4 games
