Pretty bad match imo. If Djokovic starts doing less UE, he will beat Nadal though.

Update: 1 of the breaks recovered

1st set: 6-4 Nadal
2nd set: 2-0 Djokovic

I still think Djoko will win. It's not too noticeable in my stream, but is it windy out there?

I'd say yes, saw Djoko's pants kinda wobble in the wind..
He gets kinda frustrated also throwing his Head on the court.

Though i hope Djoko wins, i don't like Nadal playing style.
Makes me laugh every time i see him preforming that windmill kinda forehand shot... it just looks so stupid in my opinion

This final looks a lot like, erm, the IW final.

Not seen Rafa play this passive in a while he just looks and Djokovic growing in confidence once again. Usually expect to see Rafa react to this improvement but Im not sure it's there today

Djokovic just really increased the tempo.
He's now dominating most of the rallies...
Letting Nadal go from corner to corner

Me likes a lot

Nadal vs Djokovic

1st set: 6-4
2d set: 3-6

Looks like Djokovic gonna do it again

lot of tension, they're not playing at their best, less bad player will win today

by **Moralspain** » Sun, 03 Apr 2011 21:20

fairest way to end this bad final is with a tie-break

by **Vieira151** » Sun, 03 Apr 2011 21:22

I've thought this last set and a half has been much better

by **fedfan** » Sun, 03 Apr 2011 21:26

The quality has got a lot better although I think Djokovic has played a lot better but Nadal has just scrapped for everything as he has not been able to bring his best level, that is why he is No.1

probably the problem is that i'm used to better matches between these 2 guys, but yep you're probably right and the quality has improved during the last set

by **Vieira151** » Sun, 03 Apr 2011 21:28

You can't think they'll play amazing against each other EVERY time. There's always gonna be the downer matches. Look at Fed vs Nadal in the Semi.

Also, awesome forehand down the line to get 4 match points for Djoko.

1 saved now.

EDIT: And another :lol:

Truly an incredible start to the season, a really strong clay season is going to be needed though to realistically go for No.1
