    Were they * against them? * are big lumbering giants, surely cant manager to cope with the speed of smaller more agile players.

    Kevin Anderson :notworthy

    I was gutted when he beat Federer as I don't like the style but I have to say he's given us one of the sporting moments of the year there in his post match interview.

    Want Rafa to win but these conditions are hugely in Novak's favour. Thanks a lot Isner and Anderson.

    He’s got the beating of Rafa, much as I hate to admit it. Can only see this going one way, it’s a matter of time.

    Fed won the first 2 sets, took his foot off the gas and by the time he knew it he was in a deciding set and struggling. Isner can ace his way past anyone.

    The serve on grass means more than anywhere else, there’s always giants in the latter stages of Wimbledon and always has been.

    Their H2H is almost identical. Djokovic had won a streak of games whilst he was at his peak and Rafa was in a dip.

    Aye I heard the stats before it mate, I had no idea Djokovic had won so many. My only saving grace/hope is that Rafa has the upper hand in the majors.
    He’s looking a beat man here alread though.

    Nadal is having to work like * just to hold his serve, it’s got that uphill struggle to it.
    Djokovic is looking like the old him, dominating from deep.

    Nadal looks like that even when he’s smashing dumplings in 3 sets :56:
