Indeed, more consistent power on the bh nowadays. But... that probably won't be enough to change the dynamic they've had on clay, given that he looked to be tiring in the 3rd against Ruud yesterday - after 2 straightforward sets.
Which is not good news when going up against the bull. But of course one can hope Rafa himself will be tiring as well -though he usually gets fired up vs Fed.
Anyway, let's see if they meet first. :-)
