That was a massive hold from Rafa.

Damn, I think Rafa has to be the most mentally tough tennis player I've ever seen - the shots he hit to not get broken in game 2 were amazing.

Roger is forced to try to mash with Rafa now, not looking good for him. I bet Rafa dials it back in Fed's service games during the middle of this set until it gets close to the end, provided he continues to hold.

Wasted chances, will be the story of this match for Fed.

I feel like Fed has taken everything almost inside out to the forehand side of Rafa, and he's started to realize that.

Nadal could use an easy hold here. Can't like how hard he's had to work the last couple.

He's keeping the pressure on.... if he can nail his winners like he was doing in the 1st/3rd he's very much alive.

That's been the story of so many of his matches with Nadal.

Let's get this break!

I'm not sure how many of these chances have just been wasted. Rafa's played outstanding on all these break points.

I can't believe Fed bitched about time violation here.
