    A huff of frustration from Rafa Nadal.

    A grip of celebration from Roger Federer.

    The Swiss held onto serve with Nadal choking a couple of groundstrokes on route.

    Rafael Nadal pings a forehand winner and then milks an error out of Roger Federer for 15-30...

    I expect Nadal to rise again, to push Federer more than he has.

    He's a champion with a history of coming back.

    He's hanging in there. Rafa is clearly not happy with the way he's hitting the ball.

    Roger Federer, with the break in his back pocket, is swinging for the fences.

    One death-or-glory forehand flies just wide to give Rafa Nadal a leg-up to 30-0.

    Rafa is picking up on the vibe, cracking down a vicious second serve that misses the mark. Double fault. 40-15.

    But Nadal lands his forehand to keep in contact.

    A double break behind and the Spaniard would be amputated from the match.

    A bullet-train hold to love, with Rafa failing to lay a finger on his serve.

    Kay K: That backhand of Federer should be declared as the 8th wonder of the world.

    Victor Eulogy: Great tennis between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. What baffles me is the age of these legends, especially Fed Express. Let the best win.

    A fantastic return yet again from Federer. That's been the difference between the two players so far today.

    Is this the beginning of the end?

    Rafa Nadal takes a long hard look at the baseline at the opposite end of the court, but there is no point deploying Hawkeye.

    That was long.

    The Spaniard is a break down. If he doesn't redeem it in the next four Federer service games he is toast.

    Rafael Nadal saves the first break point with a bold, brave forehand across court.

    That was a brave carve of the ball.

    The level of play from these two players is absolutely incredible. They're hitting winner after winner from really difficult positions.

    It's just lovely from both players. Absolutely majestic.

    You think of the players trying to break through in the men's game. Good luck.

    Rafael Nadal runs around a forehand and flays a winner across court to apply a bit of pressure at 40-30 down.

    But Roger Federer pounces on a mid-court bounce to close out the game.

    There is now a cordon in place to stop fans getting anywhere near the hill from all sides.

    A security guard tells me there is an “overcrowding issue”.

    They both look happier in the last couple of matches.

    They look more relaxed.

    They know what's at stake.

    The fourth set is going to be so intense on both sides. Rafa knows he has to put more intensity and Roger has to keep hitting the ball well. He has the lead and confidence.

    Rafael Nadal completes his getaway with a superb, stretching, scraping forehand down the line, wriggling off the hook from 15-30 down.

    He is not on top of this tussle, but he is staying in the fight. If Roger comes off the boil - and he has a couple of times in this match - he will be there to take advantage...
