One of the world's greatest tennis players is sitting on Andrew Bockner's sofa.

Actually, Bockner says in a hushed voice from the other side of the Rogers Cup Player's Lounge, Rafael Nadal is lying down with his feet up, in the back corner where the lights are low.
A few minutes later, Nadal emerges from his reverie and heads to the private outdoor patio, his entourage materializing around him.

In the second, Nadal seized the initiative with the early break to go up 2-0 on his way to levelling the match.

The third set was a tighter affair until Nadal recorded the decisive break to go 4-3 ahead, the Spaniard's play finally looking as bright as his neon pink shirt.

"He’s improved so much, improved the serve, improved the return, coming closer to the baseline and making more pressure… [Before] he was more predictable; he was serving a higher percentage to the backhand side. Now he's mixing it up much better. He's serving more to the body, more to the forehand.”
