Djoker comes out blazing to a 4-0 lead. Nadal wins the next 3 to get things back on serve.

Blows several set points. 5-5

6-5 Djok

Nadal has to win this set if he wants to the match. Not the same for Djok.

It is ridiculously clear that Djok is the superior player right now. However, extending the 1st set to 75 minutes was very foolish. If this continues and Djok is up 2-0 sets and then Rafa wins the 3rd, Djok will be looking at 5 hour + match. When the fatigue comes in his skill level will go down and it will equal the playing field. That is why that 1st set was a victory of sorts for Rafa, even though he lost 7-5.

Joker is a true #1 will be for 10 years.

Rafa had his day in the sun.

Nadal was #2 in the world at 18 years old. Went pro at 15. Guy has so much mileage on him now and the way he has to grind out points, just dunno especially as the draws start to get tougher for him. Grass is worst surface and hard court leads to his knee problems. I still remember in 2005 as he was unheard of unless you are a hardcore tennis guy how he swept through the entire clay season as a 17/18 year old. Won Monte Carlo, Rome, Barcelona, and a couple smaller clay court tourneys before winning the French.Went from around 50 in the world to #2 in the span of a couple months.
