Did Rafa just send 5 rackets off for restringing? I have never seen that before.

Rafa going to smoke Fed. Playing Gregor is perfect practice for Fed - same style - excerpt Gregor one hand backhand does a better job of handling nadals heavy top. Gregor is playing great, nasal just better. IF Rafa gets through this, he cruises v Fed.

This is a MUCH higher quality match than we saw last night between Federer and Stan.

Rafa looks incredible.

Will never count Fed out though.

It will be lost in all the Rafa/Roger hype, but Grigor looks like he's finally ready to compete with the top players.

Dimitrov would beat Federer if he can win this match.

Competing is nice but he needs to start beating them for a change. The guy's 25 years old. He should be winning against top players by now.

Crowd not nearly as behind Nadal as they were Federer last night. Obviously, Federer is the most liked player on tour, so I figured they'd be all out for him last night. But this is a bit surprising.

Agreed, but he was never close, and seemed to be going downhill the previous couple years.

If Dimitrov plays like this, he'll very likely beat Federer.

But he won't play like this.
