I meant when he has to go without the left. His right hand grip is where the thumb/index finger notch is directly on top of the racket grip. I'd like to see it rotated more to the left. As a result, the right hand grip is weaker than it should be. Lack of a strong backhand grip causes the ball to float. If second hand is on there, it releases the racket for him and then you better watch out.

Serve. Isn't weak at all, but it's not like he will get a lot of free points on it on center court here. Too much room for Rafa to get it after the surface has slowed it down. My point is that it goes away at times (not as bad as Maria though). It cost him big time about 4 or 5 US Opens ago.

Forehand is relatively weak. Like Maria's, it is where he will make errors if he get tight or out of rhythm.

He'll of match we have here this morning. That break back in the second was huge. Both players confidence could take a big turn now.

Djoker has picked up the level to go up a break now in the second. Rafa will make him keep it at that level for the rest of the match to win.

Someone said Tennis Channel (but you have to subscribe to their sports package?)

It's unbelievable that people are forced to watch a tape-delay broadcast of a French Open SF...you would think at least ESPN would carry it live.

Bad call. They really need to institute the HawkEye at the French.
