Berdych keeps blowing break pts.

Berdych is surprising me with how aggressive he is playing approaching the net, he's also moving forward on Nadal's serves as well.

The guy has serious power but hes missed quite a few shots, mostly forehands, because he is opting for too much power.

These super-duper-ultra slow-mo graphics in between shots have GOT to stop.

what exactly is the broadcast trying to convey when they cut to those clips anyway?

Berdych has hit 2 very shitty forehands now in this game, he could have sent it to tiebreak by now but sent the forehands right back at Nadal instead of putting them towards either side.

No way I am making it through this match, eyes are getting heavy.

Pretty crazy how non confident Nadal is returning the serve. Berdych is dominating with his serve. Berdych also has some good movement out there but his winners that second set weren't as high of a level as the first. Nadal is getting worked on his own second serve, he needs some serious adjustments.

Rafa is basing his whole game off that first serve from Berd. If Berd takes some off Rafa is good at exposing it, if he hits it true Rafa is having a hard time getting into his normal rhythm.

But Tomas is doing a heck of a job from the service line. I can't remember the last volley that has gone past a handful of shots. Great match.

His service points have been over in 2-4 hits, usually just serve return then the winner in that last set. Hes really on fire right now in his serve games.

The way this is going I might make it a very few games into the 4th. If these next 2 sets both are normal 6-3/6-4 types I might make it to see it through the 4th. No way I'm making it through 5, so I guess I hope someone wins 3 sets to 1

If Rafa can just keep Berd going, Berd will start to wear down eventually. No way he can hang stamina wise with Nadal.
