First set, Nadal 3-4 Djokovic* Oh I say, as they say round here, that is brilliant from Djokovic. At 15-0, Nadal smashes one of those forehands back off the Djokovic serve. Some might wilt there, but Djokovic simply answers it with an even better forehand, back down the line with Nadal wrong-footed. This is warming up nicely. And so is Djokovic. At 30-15, he refuses to let Nadal's scurrying at the back of the court wear him down, which Murray did on Friday. Although Nadal manages to retrieve several fine forehands - shots that would be winners against any other player - Djokovic stays on the offensive and when he gets a chance, he dispatches a smash with aplomb. See, Andy? Not difficult. An ace confirms that Djokovic is very much in this final. It is on.
First set, Nadal* 3-3 Djokovic Serve and volley's back. What next, wooden rackets and Cliff Richard? Nadal sees Djokovic's volley and raises it with one of his own, although this one was of the backhand variety to go 15-0 up. Djokovic sneaks back into the game though, as Nadal cracks a forehand pass into the net, the Serbian's forward approach again surprising the Spaniard. With the retro-tennis safely out of their system, both players revert to type, trying to out-hit each other from the back of the court. Djokovic is starting to come into this more and more now, only to wastefully net a backhand return at 30-30. An ace down the middle means we stay on serve. I'm starting to think of a tie-break.
