Federer must win this set. He needs to find another level and take every opportunity against Nadal.

Federer is going all or nothing now. Simple. And he should have done that earlier... I was wondering about those feeble forehands in the first set.
Nice straight drive by Nadal at the end there. 
He's trying what I said he needed to (and what was pretty clear to see anyway), but can't pull off with his serve and volleying: shifting between staying back and going to the net.
He can't win it from the baseline alone.

Nadal's passing shots are just too good. He can find the corners from anywhere on the baseline.
roger 4 drop shots 4 returns wiz by him
3-2 Nadal, Federer need to hold his serves.
opening here for nadal
Can imagine him getting scared as feck going to the net though... Nadal's something else.
Good point.
federer not getting his first serves in
wtf roger
deuce could be curtains soon
C'mon, Roger. Dig out the aces and unreturnables again.
Edit: Like that!

roger holds
I've done nothing but piss during this match.
roger had him set up and plunked another backhand into the net
why are you coming into the net????
is he john terry? RF must hold or nadal will serve for the match
federer just don't look like breaking nadal serves.
To think if this goes all the way there is still 1 1/2 sets to go. Gonna be up forever.
1 1/2
You can't beat Nadal on the baseline for gawd's sake!
Yea corrected myself there. The lack of sleep is kicking in.
Federer doesn't necesarily look like losing his service games either.

nice 2nd serve from roger
Don't bother coming into the net Federer, your volleying is shite.
thats it.. plunks a volley into the net
He's become a baseliner alright.
Federer holds
Needs to start getting his first serves back in again.
Federer needs a little bit more spark. He needs to out think and out muscle Nadal whenever possible.
Federer needs to push Rafa on his service now. Nadal is pushing him hard on his.
roger holds now for a break and a hold then hold on to your hats 5th set!!
Nervous backhand right there. No power.
Roger keep playing the ball into the net.
Kelvin, go away.
you go away, kevin.
Roger has to win this game.
