So Federer probably would have dismantled Verdasco? Just kept hitting back letting him make the errors.

Oh no, i doubt that. Fed isn't as aggressive as i recall him at his top. He doesn't dominate points like he used to. yes, part of it is nadal's greatness. But nads has served plenty of pus and he has just blocked it back rather than dismissing it like a bull's tail swatting a fly. He needs to show a little swagger. Then again, maybe he senses Nadal tiring. Dont see that myself really but hard to say. Nads is making a few more errors in third set. Fed is still too passive and not serving well enough.

Fed saves one break point; it's the tie break

Fed has only himself to blame if he can't bring this in. I think he can - now. He is more confident. You can see his serving is finally improving. He has blown a boatload of break chances, but they'll be there again in 4th and 5th because Nadal is tiring.

Nadal to me is the constant; Federer is the variable. Nads is playing as well as he can, Fed can play better.

Federer is serving better and is more confident going into fourth set than he was in first or second.

Rafa wins the tie-break 7-3 !
Fed didn't play well, gave a few balls.
I'm pleasantly surprised !

I hope your right and Fed can get it to the 5th. I keep hearing Nadal is tired and can he last. He looks good to me.

No, I think he's tiring a little. He should get blown out in foruth, put up resistance in fifth and get broken late. Hell, who really knows. But that's my guess.

yeah, now Fed has his break. now he ought to draw it out, the fourth set, after consolidating break. let Nads feeeeel the pain. don't get to the fifth too quickly.

5d is having life betting, at least once. It's under ATP. when it's not up they just show challenger.
