He had a back injury against Wawrinka.
Nadal very slow out of the blocks here.
Nadal clawing with his fingernails here as always. Djokovic playing alien tennis though.
Fresh air shot from Nadal there.
Bah hah ha. Fresh air shot.
Djokovic still to lose a point on serve.
Much better from Nadal on his service game there, now has to break to stay in the set.
That last winner was excellent.
2 set points for Djokovic but Nadal has started to play a bit.
Tennis from the heavens above.
What a set of tennis from Djokovic

Crucial Rafa doesn’t hand an early break here in the 2nd.
Incredible first few games.
Big hold there.
Still only 1 point for Nadal on Djokovic’s serve.
What odds on Rafa retiring with an “injury” today?
That winner at 15-30 was gutsy.
Another big hold from Nadal, he’s surviving at the minute and he needs to keep doing that until he begins to get a foothold. He’s not at the races so far.
2 break points Djokovic.
Djokovic breaks, that was coming.
Looks bleak now.
