However, Federer's 6-3 6-0 crushing of Nadal was not expected. I fully thought this would go to 3 setter and would be a complete toss up with the victor being the one who was able to convert on key points. I was totally wrong and Fed put on a great show. He served like a man possessed in the 1st set getting 77% of his first serves in and only dropping 6 total points on service in 5 games. He ripped a ton of winners and made very few unforced errors. I can't find stats on this, if anyone knows where they can be found it would be greatly appreciated. Nadal completely collapsed in the second set receiving a donut from Fed, something that has shockingly happened twice before (Madrid 2009/Wimbledon 2007). Either way today was an interesting one.

Tough Day
Somewhat surprising day at the ATP World Tour Finals today. I wasn't so surprised that Fish lost to Tsonga. Tsonga has been playing some of the best tennis of his career lately and I've always thought of him as a guy who has a skill level just below the top 4, and above everyone else currently in the top 10. Similar to how I feel about an in form Soderling and Del Potro.
