Had djokovic straight setted tsitsipas then Djokovic would have beat Nadal with ease.
However 4 hrs today and 3hrs v pcb is definitely a game changer and gives Nadal even in this shape in these conditions hope.
What are your keys to the match?
For me it is dead simple. If Nadal hits the DTLFH well he will win. If Djokovic hits the DTLBH well and better than Nadal hits his DTLFH he will win.
Reason Djokovic went five today was he inexplicably stopped hitting the DTLBH for an hour.
Also as weird as this sounds i think it will help Nadal to lose the first set. Reason i say this is if he does thoughts of no.20 will be far away. Win the 1st set he may get tight and let Djokovic back in then the momentum is with Novak.
Those hoping for an epic will be disappointed. The nerves will take over and this could resemble Thiem v Zverev
