Have I made-up for my failed Nadal prophecy by predicting this emphatic drop in form?
This drop is for real as Roger goes down 0-3 in the first set and looks, well, terrible.
We’ll see.
Update: some sparkling tennis later in that first set, especially as Federer tries to break back at 3-5, but no can do for the Swiss.
Stefanos, we already know, is for real. How about some of those one-hander to one-hander exchanges. Good watch, but Fed’s dumpy tennis early in the set is a nonstarter.
