Nadal has kicked it up a gear, he's reaching every single shot from Fed and barely missing on some near impossible angles.

Fed needs this service game and a break BAD. I don't want a tiebreak in this set.

One thing at a time

Fed has struggled mightily with his service games since the first set.

There you go Fed, approach the net after you hit it to his BACKHAND.

It's deuce. Federer is working hard for his points, and then he has an error. Nadal is getting some of the long rallies.

Now advantage Rafa.

Every service game from Fed is going down to the wire.

Nadal has shown no signs of slowing, he's getting on the end of every shot and just barely missing the lines or hitting it into the tape.

Nadal is clearly playing better, and has gotten a spark of energy while Fed looks slow and has absolutely no pop on his shots or serve.

I still don't understand how someone hits running forehands like Rafa hits running forehands.

Nadal just broke his serve and is serving for the Match.

Rafa hits running forehands like Tiger hits his approach shots, if they're on, there's nothing like it in sports. SO FUN to watch.

Dang it.

It was fun while it lasted. Fed just had WAY too many errors. Especially from his forehand. And he didn't cause Nadal any problems with his serve.

Federer did well to scrap through it and send the 3rd to tiebreak, and keep this 4th set close.
