Until those 3 errors Berdych was looking like he was going up 3-0 this set. He needs to fix his backhand up the line, it's been off the mark all match.

In 5 sets Nadal's endurance has the advantage, but if Berdych can keep up the low movement he has been doing in his service games the endurance shouldn't effect him that much.

Although he was just seen stretching his leg in that changeover.

Rafa's second serve just now = 87 mph.

the level of play has clearly fallen this set, serves, winners, errors, they are all worse this set. Only thing that has been better has been the calls

This match might last 14,779 hours. Two and a half hours through 2 and this 3rd is dragging. Oh boy.

Berdych's level is falling big time.

He was pondering a call for the trainer a few minutes ago. Now he's making some bonehead decisions, missing shots, not serving all that well, and he's not putting Nadal away when he has game points.

I think I can see it now, Berdych will lose this set something to the tune of 6-4, then Nadal runs away with the 4th set for the match.

haha, im fading fast. Will probably only make it to the end of this set. Just imagine if Berdych breaks Nadal in this set though, he could go up 6-5 and put Nadal under pressure to force the tiebreak.

One of the best shots I've seen to take the first game.
