Fed still has a better serve than Rafa and would have done better on return.Federer would have fared much worse. It would have been ugly.

Djokovic digs himself out of the hole. Leads 4-2.

He's clearly not playing at his best. But yeah, he doesn't seem injured or hindered enough to not be able to try and fight back.
That start though was pretty bad.

Omg why must it always be injury rith Nadal it's so annoying seeing fans and non fans eat it up. Sorry Nadal can lose without being injured. He could just be old and way past his prime on a court that he doesnt do all that well on esp against novak

Novak might be dropping a level. It’s his usual MO.

But if Nadal was winning, this would be a golden era, no?

Djoko is bullying Nadal! Brutal domination!

I'm much more concerned that I promised to name my firstborn (Boy or Girl) Novak Djokovic if he hits 20 slams.

Actually Fed is a record holder in coming back from 0-2 down IIRC, he's just harder to put away when you have him on the ropes.
If Nadal's getting outplayed that's usually it.

Makes me cringe every time. Why does he keep hitting to the Nole BH? Where is the DTL look?

Hard to read, very accurate...though not quite to Fed's level on either aspect.

Novak may retire Nadal, Fed and Murray altogether this year.

They weren't thinking straight at all. Blinded by him being away so long and a new service motion mowing through an easy draw. Perfect recipe

I think he basically is. 2 sets and a break down against Djokovic here? Too much for anyone

Yes he is. I would be super amazed to see him even win 1 set.

I mean everyone expected a good match. No one can say they really beleived a bludgeoning was coming.

Nadal had a proven ab strain going into this match that has hindered his ability to hit through his forehand. Healthy Nadal would have won this in 4

Yeah, I’ve had the same thought. Honestly I feel really sorry for him.

I cannot at the injury bs right now when Rafa beasted through his draw and never said anything but suddenly is injured.
