So there it is - Nadal v Fed!

When the pressure was on Nadal at 15-40 at 3-4 he went on to hit 16 first serves in a row.

The ultimate big moment player along with Novak.

Great match. Clutch from Nadal in the fifth.

It's going to be a tough night for Fed on Sunday. He'll have to serve big and open up that forehand. Dimitrov had the right idea but could execute consistently.

Yeah he executed beautifully in the first but has gone off the boil in the 2nd. Too many unforced errors.

Nadal has returned every serve too. Crazy. If Fed doesn't get free points on serve then he won't win.

One set all.

Classic Nadal-Fed.

Rafa returning everything and letting Federer beat himself with a mountain of errors.

The UE count will be high. He's playing too aggressively for it to be any lower, realistically. He's been guilty of having loose service games early in sets...happened again. He has to start finding free points on his first serve, otherwise the errors will give Nadal everything he needs.
