71% first serve, 9 winners, 13 errors to Ljubi's 13/31. The double fault surprised me, as it does everytime he does.
Ljubi played well, but as you can see from the stats, the UE's are his downfall. Too many nets, too many screwed forehands/backhands. Mind you, he does have a great one handed backhand, but today it nets or just full-on missed.
Rafa went for good groundstrokes and great movements. The rest is history. It *is* clay. I'd like to say that Rafa can win most matches on clay with one hand and one leg tied behind his back, but I know I'm terribly biased.
Wait - maybe I'm not after all:
See? He even finds time to pose:
So much win, you guys.
Other scores of the day so far:
[3] N Djokovic (SRB) d [7] F Verdasco (ESP) 62 46 63
13] S Wawrinka (SUI) d [Q] A Beck (GER) 62 64
Up next is Ginge vs Kolya. I'm so hoping Ginge will win, but with Kolya, I'm not so sure, Ginge is lacking some hotness in his matches. But I'm still taking off my panties and twirling it in the air for him.
Rafa will face whoever wins the Ginge/Kolya match. But baby, baby, is he en fuego or what.
