Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are facing off in a quarterfinal match at the French Open this morning that feels like it should be a final. Djokovic is dominating the first set and the point of the match may have already happened. Facing his second break point and down to his second serve, Nadal set off a great rally that saw both men hit bruising base line shots and then exchange a series of perfectly placed lob shots that had them running all over the court, much to the delight of the Roland Garros crowd.

Nadal battled back with a high arcing lob that hit just in the tiniest corner, but was unable to capitalize on a slice that went into the net to end the point. As of this writing, Djokovic leads the first set 4-2.
