It's 40-30 in the first game Club Fed serving. Johnny Mac says the ball is bouncing high, favoring Nadal.Federer just held serve.... Raffa's turn. NBC's Mary Carillo points out that Roger has beaten Nadal 3 of 4 of their last head-to-head matches...
Nadal serving. Novak Djokavic says Nadal is the physically strongest player in the world; Federer says he's the fittest. NBC cameras focus on Nadal's biceps (tennis is so weird). Focusing on a player's biceps is a ridiculous notion in other sports, but tennis players aren't known for strength.
Nadal holds easily. It's obvious that he's trying to get a quicker start than last year when he dropped the first set to Federer, 6-1. It's apparent that both players are nervous as Nadal sprays some shots over the baseline. It's now 2-1 Federer.... time to make a post. Early on? No advantage...
