Djokovic breaks Rafa's serve
NAD-DJO (0-2)
With the second service, Rafa does no harm to Nole, who is the best returner on the circuit. He shows that in the first point after Rafa's serve (0-15). And not only that, because Nole starts to feel comfortable on the ground and lets loose whips from the back of the court that suffocate the Spaniard (0-30).
But Rafa scores the first and defines the point from the center of the court, a sensational parallel right hand (15-30). And Nadal pulls a shot out of his hat, defending himself from below, getting the direction of Nole well in his shots, anticipating and being able to go on the attack to solve again with the right hand, this time crossed (30 – 30).
Sensational hits that Nole eventually wins, after a dropshot and a smash, a point that explains the high level of these tennis players. (30-40). And the game of Nole, that reacts well and Nadal stumbles over the net… Nole starts strong.
