Er, no.
Strange how the guy who's won 15 slams, been Number 1 how many times and owned Federer for years is still insecure enough
to want his uncle on court telling him how to play.

His uncle retired I think but whoever the coach is, a valid point.

5 games in and it's taken Anderson 16 and 20 points respectively to win his last two service games.

Christ.

Nadal has dropped one point in his two service games so far...

Looks like that was the pattern all the way through.
At his best, and when fit, Nadal is virtually unbeatable.

Just watched the mens final, imperious from Nadal.
Interesting comments from will Anderson about courts varying in size. Always assumed they were universal

Federer just battered Nadal again in another final. Absolutely unplayable today. I am sure he must be wishing he played at least in the French as if he had he would be closer to number one.

Novak played at too high of intensity for too long. Having to deal with injury was inevitable. All the top players go through it at some point. Nadal with his knees, Federer with his back and knee. It is how Djokovic comes back from it which will be interesting.

Looking like Murray is out of the Australian open.
