Thirteen-one.
Ten percent.
Fourteen-thirty.
That is sensational.
Sutherland does everything right here.
Fifteen-one.
Rafael Nadal is like the human wall.
It doesn't matter which line you hit it.
I'm going to make this passing shot.
This is so cute.
This is real talent.
And great disguise as well.
I like what Nadal does here.
He gives him a little fake.
I'm going to go cross-court.
No, I think I'll change it down the line.
A little head fake.
Sutherland fell for it.
Thirty-all.
Did he do this?
This was a full-blooded squash shot
off a Sutherland forehand.
This surely was a winner.
Look at this.
This is why we're so excited to watch Rafael Nadal.
Just because of his commitment.
He never gives up.
But not only does he not give up.
He finds a way to win the point.
Passing shot from Sutherland.
But Nadal is equal to it.
It's three-two.
Forty-thirty.
Tactical tackle.
Defending as well in this rally.
And then that is just an incredible first passing shot
there from Nadal.
And then the whip forehand to finish it off.
Fourteen-fifteen.
Looks like he's a little late.
He didn't expect the ball to come over.
So he shuffles up and he improvises very well.
Fifteen-forty.
And Sutler's already thinking.
How am I going to win a game?
Murray here.
That's an excellent backhand cross-court.
It certainly does.
Look how low that forehand was.
Going over the highest part of the net.
Plenty of clearage over that net.
He does things on a tennis court that nobody else can do.
I mean, from that position there,
OK, the forehand could have been a little bit wider.
But how?
Amazing.
Fifteen off.
Thirteen.
Fifteen.
Fifteen-forty.
Fifteen off.
I think he was praying it was going out more like it.
But he sees that.
See, these are one of those forehands.
It looks like it's going out.
It just dips at the last minute.
Just clipped the line.
He wasn't sure either.
There he is.
He was a little vulnerable on the serve when that kind of thing happens.
Fifteen off.
Made it!
Love fifteen.
Well, that's as good as a forehand.
Maybe the audacity of it.
Did that really go in?
It did.
Try and teach that down your local club on a Saturday morning.
The shape of this swing.
Fourteen-fifteen.
Love fifteen.
Not this time.
The drop shot which killed off Del Potro.
A smile from the Argentinian, but the most rueful of smiles.
The difference with this drop shot is where he made it from.
Nadal was behind the baseline, so Del Potro had time to move forward.
Talk about threading the eye of the needle.
Oh, brilliant.
Slicing it back at such an angle across the net.
Fifteen off.
Amazing to see the movement, even after three and three-quarter hours.
So nimble around the court.
Love fifteen.
Saw Nadal in the last game use the forehand to really open up the angle.
This one from a long way back.
Oh, beautifully thrown by Nadal.
Oh, it's brilliant.
Brilliant from Nadal.
Superb. What a point to take it.
Game.
What an outstanding game within this wonderful match.
And Nadal creeps closer to the finish line.
Fifteen off.
In stark contrast to the butterfly that Nadal was just dancing around when he hit that.
I wish that butterfly was bothering me.
Forty-thirty.
Ninety-one mile an hour.
Forehand.
What's the exact capacity in here?
No, it's just...
I said 12,000 pounds.
12,000 pounds.
12,000 plus, that's no good.
That's not exact enough.
Too good.
Funder-Sjonskog made his move.
Nadal brought out his box of tricks.
It was the right move too.
Not a bad volley either.
Nadal hit by 14.52.
Not a bad volley at all.
How in the world?
The variety of shots on both sides of the net.
And that is from Nadal.
We've seen plenty of power hitting from both forehands this afternoon.
But that was beautifully done.
Just a little adjustment with the grip.
And then coming underneath the forehand.
Brilliant.
Vintage Nadal.
Yeah, we missed the overhead.
That's the one he should have put away.
Vintage Nadal right there.
Yes.
That's dropped in.
And has the ball for Sky.
30-40.
And so, Sonego's spirits must have fallen.
Because he came in well.
He came in here full steam ahead.
Trying to beat the Rafa angle on the passing shot.
To perfection.
That is very dangerous.
Good guess from Rafa.
Good guess.
15-30.
He had to pick one side or the other.
And there he goes.
