No
Serena loses. All Italian final tomorrow. That Barbara Schett on Eurosport with Mats is marvellous.
Signs of Nadal getting some form back in the past two weeks.
0-40 down on his own service in the third game of the deciding set and Nadal reels five points on the trot.
It’s vintage Nadal, he is back, baby.
Best I have seen his forehand in a long time. The ball is exploding off it.
Unreal, unbelievable.
I haven’t said this in a long time…
VAMOS!!!
Tsonga serves to stay in the game.
Tsonga will serve for the game now but either way Nadal has looked like a totally different player than the one we have seen all year and I’ll be backing him for the Australian Open.
Outstanding game, Tsonga wins.
Jesus Djokovic is untouchable at the moment. Hammered nadal last week, hammered the world number 2 yesterday and hammered Tsonga this morning. He has won the last 2 tournaments without dropping a set.
Is Rafael Nadal on the way back?
Yes.
Progress is slow and steady but he’s definitely on the way back. At the moment Djokovic is a level above everyone else though
10s at the moment for the Australian open.
Nadal smashing Murray at the minute.
Unreal I backed him this morning and then saw the sky sports lads saying nadal missed 25 shots in a row in the warm up and looked very uncomfortable. They’ve been completely mugged off hon Rafa!
I wouldn’t read too much into these wins. Wawrinka couldn’t be arsed the other night and murray is saving himself for the davis cup final next. Nadal is probably the only player that needs to do well at this, while most of the others are more interested in hitting the beach.
Did Murray get a haircut during this match?
I would read a lot into Nadal’s recent form, he’s getting better every game and slowly returning to his best. It’s not about the others - it’s all about Nadal, when his game is on then only Djokovic can rival him.
Djokovic will hammer him off the court if he can be arsed. The big test for Nadal will be Australia when all the top players will be looking to win and just not go through the motions.
He’s back - I’d advise you to prepare yourself for it cos Nadal is going to rock the tennis world to its core again. The greatest has his mojo back.
