French Open Update

Nadal turned around the second set, winning 6-1, not so much because he played a lot better, but because Federer seems like he's making lots of errors. The stats show that he's made something like 20 unforced errors on his backhand to one winner.

The crowd is now doing the wave, which persists in Europe even as it has faded as a fad in the U.S.

The third set has been a bit closer. Nadal is serving up 5-4. Despite being down 0-40 and 0-30 in two games, he's held serve nine straight times.

As people like to say, the third set is key to win in a best of five set match.
