Nadal is completely outplaying Djokovic tactically now. Nadal is patient and mixes it up and forces Djokovic to go for too much.

Nadal has definitely handled the situation of this moment better than Novak, and is containing his focus and nerves better. Djokovic seems well and truly rattled now and it does indeed look like we are headed to a decider!

6-2 5-6.

Nadal will serve for the second set.

If Nadal wins this game, he wins the match easily in the third set.

Nadal is wearing Nole down little by little...

Then why do I get the feeling that Djokovic is dictating play and Nadal is responding defensively?

Nadal should continue to extract chances to attack by using more variety at the right moments. He has shown that he is plenty capable of outmanoeuvring Novak with tactical guile. So, there's no real reason to stop now.

Djokovic makes the FH's dtl here. Rafa can't buy a 1st serve the last couple of games. 0-40. Looks like a tie break

And THERE is the forehand DTL. His back against the wall, fighting to stay into the set, willing to go the extra mile to make something happen.
