Why does he have win comfortably when I start watching?
Wozniacki leads 3-1 in the second set.
Robbo. :rose:
Nadal is serving for the third set, 5-4.
Robbo has been poor today. Far too many errors and awlful serving as usual.
Brands :bow:. It's always good to see all-out attack rather than a parking of the bus.
Two break points for Wozniacki.
And Wozniacki does break, 4-1. :lol:
Nadal takes the third set 6-4. Brands needs to summon the spirit of Rosol again.
Brands seems to have come unstuck since he started to be clever and slicing it, instead of just whacking it. Nadal actually hitting it back probably hasn't helped though.
Robson puts the hammer down and gets one of the breaks back, 4-2.
Three break points for Wozniacki.
Robson's serve is really weak. Not going to be helped on clay though I suppose.
Nadal breaks and leads 1-0 in the fourth set. Just bagel it if you're going to win Nadal.
Wozniacki will serve for the match.
Robbo. :lol:
Aussie at heart.
Two match points for Wozniacki!
Wozniacki wins 6-3 6-2!
Robson. :rose:
As useless as Wozniacki has been recently, she'll still get everything back. Robson being so wild and inaccurate has just played into her hands. Very bad performance from Robbo.
Nick Mullins has a weird laugh.
Brands flukes a slice to keep it at only one break down.
Match points for Nadal.
Nadal wins 4-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 6-3.
Fun while it lasted.
Brands :bow: (for the first two sets).
Berdych v Monfils starting soon. :popcorn:
Just so I'm clear, why is it that some players prefer (and tend to fare better) on clay as opposed to grass? Or grass as opposed to clay, etc
Does the ball move quicker on clay?
Fourth set point wasted by Monfils in the tie-break.
8-8.
Berdych forehand error hands Monfils the first set 7-6 (10-8).
Gasquet destroys Stakhovsky 6-1 6-4 6-3.
Monfils gets an early break in the second set.
Berdych :lol:.
It bounces higher and play is slower on clay. The margins aren't as pronounced as they used to be though.Quote:

Monfils takes the second set 6-4.
Berdych takes the third set 7-6 (7-3).
And the fourth set goes to a tiebreak. :lol:
