Nadal 4-4 del Potro*. A busy pit-stop for Nadal, who asks for one of his racquets to be restrung, and gets his right knee taped up. He doesn’t seem to be in too much discomfort as he wins a 14-shot rally. But del Potro winds up his serve again and sees the game out. Strange to say of a match which has had two breaks of serve already, but this hasn’t quite taken off yet. A sprinkling of the spectacular, but neither player has hit top gear.
Nadal* 4-3 del Potro. Del Potro asks a serious question of Nadal, sending a 101mph forehand to the corner. But Nadal somehow returns, and del Potro hoicks long. Another easy hold for Nadal.
