Tennis 2019

Federer needed to win the first set a lot more than Nadal, reckon it will go to 5 sets now.
 
Yup. Zero surprise there. Nadal had two mini breaks and couldn't capitalize once.
 
Huge set for Federer. Nadal will come back stronger but fed should just keep on holding his serve and continue hitting Aces and he will be fine.
 
Didn't see anything after 3-3 30mins ago but followed the score. Oh Roger my Roger
 
This match living up to expectations.

Well done Fed for winning the first set. So close between these two.
 
Really good tie-break from Federer. Oddly passive from Nadal, though. I don't expect him to get caught cold like that again, so Federer will need to push on from here and not have a lull early in the second.
 
You were saying :)
I'm currently at work and as usual it's impossible to tell what's really going on as most posts are just reverse jinxing the player they want to win. It seemed going by the BBC that it was a deserved set for Federer as he was the one getting half chances on return.

Yeah he needs to take care of his serve and then take any chances he gets from any Nadal mistakes. Easier said than done!
 
On another note, nice for Sir Alex to see a nice competitive game after the dross he's been served up at OT:D
 
Roger needs to keep his concentration for his service games this set.
 
Crazy that even now that these guys are well in their 30s, still no one can really challenge them when on form.
 
I don't understand why Nadal still keeps at the tactic of constantly attacking the Federer backhand. 2017 showed it doesn't work and we can see it yet again today. Needs to spice it up a bit.
 
For a change Nadal gets a chance and he can't do anything to break. He's playing really passive stuff.
 
anyone know where to find federer-nadal related rivers? can't seem to locate anything with a smooth current.
