Fed is hanging tough in there.

Don't know how long it will last, Fed is narrowly surviving on his service games last set and this one as well.

He's not really reaching Nadal's shots as well, and his shots certainly don't have the same pop to them. Guy is definitely tired and doesn't have the strength or energy.

Call for the trainer and get a energy boost Fed, show some life.

He keeps being aggressive approaching the net even when he isn't challenging or forcing Nadal into tough shots. He's charging when Nadal has routine forehands to hit.

Anytime he gives me a glimmer of hope that he can hang in this he goes and immediately crushes that thought by sloppy play

Yeah. He looks like he's teetering on the edge.

He did look like he was lagging. What's the age difference between the two?

He needs to get another wind because if he were to make it through this set, he doesn't look like he has another one in him.

It's odd that his best and most consistent shot all night is the cross court rip towards Nadal's stronger forehand.

The failed net approaching has definitely been uncharacteristic. But give some credit to Nadal as well

Fed plays with hair pre serve..and Rafa still always digging in his arse awaiting it..some things never change.

Nadal is known for reaching nearly every shot on the court and for bending in winners just inside the line. Trying to cut off angles on easy shots for Nadal is just silly.
