Yep they're wearing the exact same outfits they wore in the US Open,except Djokovic is wearing black shorts and Verdasco white shorts. Verdasco,I hate to say this but has been Djokovic's whipping boy in 2009,I've lost count of the number of times they've met in Grand Slams and tournaments and it always seemed to be Nole coming out on top. But as I'm writing this,Verdasco has made this match a 3-setter,with Djokovic winning the 1st set 6-3 and Verdasco taking the 2nd set 6-1. So currently Djokovic is leading 3-0 in the 3rd set. I'm watching the match live now while doing revision lol,so I'll provide the live update here?
If Djokovic wins the 3rd set,it only goes to show the difference between being a Top 5 and Top 10 player.
edit - Nole leads 4-0! Verdasco tried an overhead smash but the ball ended up in the net! Verdasco is now 0-30 down as he tried to return Nole's forehand but the ball went into the net again. As Nole gets to 15-40,Verdasco squats down in desperation! Verdasco sends a forehand wide and Nole gets the break to lead 5-0.
Verdasco seems to have waken up a little as he leads 40-0 now after sending a winner down the line and then Nole making an unforced error and Verdasco hitting yet another unreturnable forehand shot. He finally breaks the bagel to be down 5-1!
In the 7th game of the set,while Nole is leading 30-15,Verdasco is making Nole running all over the court and sends a winner down the line and Nole challenges the call...and is right! Now he races to 40-15,match point! But then Verdasco yet returns the ball to save a break point,40-30! Verdasco tries to bring Nole to the net and does,but Nole then sends a volley over Verdasco's head to win the match!
