What a sight a freshly swept Chatrier is.

Schwartzman leads 2-0 in the second.

Break count currently 4.

Nadal’s level drops off. It’s been a worrying feature so far in RG this year. Has had lulls of 5-6 games where he gets very tight and makes lots of errors he would not normally make.

You’re some man to manage your time at work effectively mate

I’ve taken annual leave for 2 weeks for RG.

Absolutely ridiculous standard.

These rallies are insane.

These double faults are an ever recurring problem for Nadal and he badly needs to sort them out.

Set point Schwartzman.

Nadal made a mess out of that.

Schwartman levels up.

Nadal is in serious bother unless he sorts this out.

Lots of errors creeping in. Schwartman has him rattled.

Stunning from Diego.

Nadal is being Nadaled.

Surprised how good Schwartzman has served today. Nadal will be very disappointed with his return game though, really fallen off a cliff in the last two sets. He had 7 break points in the first set, only two in set 2 and none so far in set 3.

Nadal had to hit about 5 winners there to get that point.

Nadal breaks. Will serve for the third set.

It’s some battle out there.

Third set Nadal.

He found another gear towards the end of that third set. He had to hang on in there for a lot of it as Schwartzman was dictating it.

Double break Nadal. 6 games on the spin. Schwartzman has been broken mentally.

fixed that one for you

27 of the last 31 points to Nadal.

Two games away now.
