That tells that Roger went for it and played aggressively, much more than Rafa. Fed had 3x the aces as well.


that's the norm for Roger and why he's so great to watch. not surprised at the disparity in aces - when fed needs a big serve he finds it a lot of times. Nadal has improved his serve enormously but it's average at best - it was horrid for a long time

A lot of people are making the point that Roger changed up his backhand. They say he quit with the slices/chips and went more flat. I don't know about that, but I did notice that he was really hitting crosscourt dippers to Nadal's forehand side and pulling him off the court. That larger racquet has helped a ton on the backhand side.
