The match soon had a familiarlook, and so did Nadal: glum and resigned to another defeat against the man who had beaten him in last year's Wimbledon and U.S. Open finals.
One of the things I liked most about the gameplay footage is that no matter how familiar combat looks, the use of motion capture and improved animation makes it all lookso much better.
And so, seated at my Jerusalem window last year, ready to at last look back and write, I was familiar with the task at hand, the need to gather information and to then look for patterns in it.
