Hard to tell, I hardly saw the match because of choppy stream...
Rafa looked pale, at least in that stream. Also I did catch final stats,
Rafa won something like 45% on first serve...so would be fair to say
that at least he was serving dreadfully.

Looked pretty one sided affair to me. Looked like the surface suited Fed
perfectly and for Nadal least possible amount.
Fed must be the favourite after this performance. But... another day,
another game.
