   Points won directly behind the serve:
   15 % Nadal – 12 of 78
   16 % Del Potro – 16 of 99

   Nadal’s 14th match won in a row. He led 3:0* (40/15) in the opener, trailed *1:3 in the 2nd set. He got the decisive break at 1-all in the 3rd set. If Nadal had lost that match 6-7 in the 3rd set it would have been almost a copy of their Miami ’09 quarterfinal.

   Nadal wins his 600th main-level match & 22nd “Masters 1K’ event. His route to the title:
   2 Ryan Harrison 7-6(1), 6-2
   3 Leonardo Mayer w/o
   4 Ernests Gulbis 4-6, 6-4, 7-5
   Q Roger Federer 6-4, 6-2
   S Thomas Berdych 6-4, 7-5
   W Juan Martin del Potro 4-6, 6-3, 6-4

   My recap of the 2-hour 29-minute final

   Nadal was two points away from defeat to Gulbis at *4:5 (deuce) in the 3rd set
