Absolute beauty by Nadal.

Nadal too good right now. It's his to lose.

Like a legend Nadal raises his game when it matters.

These long rallies are killing Federer.

Rafa's serves to Federer's body have proven fruitful.

Quick hold for Fed

vienne86

....and Federer wins to love......he needed that badly. Just to hang on.

Good man Fed. Hopefully can take advantage of his next break point.

vienne86

Federer need to break back.....now.

current ue count Fed 53 Rafa 21

great point by Fed to get to 30 all. crucial point now

Fed's play is still off the charts.

What was the gunge the Ballboy had to mop up on Nadal's baseline?

vienne86

Federer just doesn't seem able to go for those shots Nadal puts out wide.

**** it anyway. Another quick hold now hopefully.

Some tension. Will Fed get a break point again... Nadal is just so strong in those moments though. Never has there been a mentally stronger tennis player.

vienne86

If Federer doesn't break back now, I can't see it happening.

seligehgit

Federer is holding serve with relative ease. He'll possibly get further opportunities to break on the Nadal serve.

Big ol' shout there from Federer!!

MisterAnarchy

Federer needs to do better on the Nadal serve.

fed has to risk going for a winner on the break point I think

Alfred Borden

Deserved

RosyLily

I forgot how nerve-racking it is watching these two battle it out in finals.

Unearthly

Good stuff. Back in it

vienne86

Yes! He had so many opportunities in that set, if he hadn't broken back, I would have said that was that.

Game on!

RosyLily

FEDERER BREAKS!! IT'S 3-3.

Where's my paper bag??
