66.7% actually. A third of his slams have come off non-clay surfaces.

Compare that to Pete where 50% of his wins came on grass and the percentage differences aren't that huge really.

Why are you rating Fed as "very good" at Roland Garros, where he has managed one win (because he avoided Nadal), yet Nadal you only rate as "good" at Wimbledon in spite of the fact he's won it twice...

At the very least it's a fringe benefit. If either of those scenarios did play out then they'd be bound to come in for some criticism from the media too.

Well at least if they close the roof at the conclusion of this set they'll confound all this "they'll time it to help Rafa" nonsense. He doesn't want to stop now.

To be fair, 8 wouldn't be unlucky to draw 9, as the traditional pairing system (1v16, 2v15 etc) would have those two paired. 1 drawing 9 would be unlucky.

Are you kidding?

No rain = Nadal dominant
Rain = Dokovic dominant

The rain is the only reason this match wasn't over in straight sets.

I think Nadal needs to break here and then hold for the match (or hold and then break for the match). The rainier and wetter it gets the more conditions will play into Djokovic's hands.

All he really needs is a better second serve. Having said that, I think the game he has currently will be good enough for Roland Garros.
