In the forty remaining option Federer gave Nadal, who in last Sunday´s match against Mardy Fish suffered stomach problems, and ended up insane today, chasing balls around the track that sent the Swiss.

Despite the overwhelming dominance of the winner of the Masters last year, in the crash was no shortage of endless exchanges of balls tight to the line, the duels in the network and ensuring any master strokes among those who have grabbed the top two spots in the ATP rankings for almost a decade.
