Since Rafa did not have any tough opponents at this RG, I hope Djoko will make him "suffer"...
I mean Almagro, Ferrer and their tennis with a lot of security (in france we say "tennis pourcentage") were the perfect match-up for Nadal... No way they could win... Djoko plays with more "risks", more depths, so it will be new for Rafa at this RG.

Awful draw this year... All the "big palmares", all the big hitters, were in Djoko's part (Federer, DelPotro, Berdych, Tsonga...). That's just big nonsens... Who were the "biggies" in Rafa's part of the draw ? Murray ? On clay ? Come on... :/
And, again, in my opinion, other clay "beasts", those who play left-right with a very high tempo play with too much "security" and not enough "creativity/variations" for Nadal... No match at all.. As we saw...

Maybe they should change the way the draws are done... Maybe with "hats" like for soccer ?...

Nole will have to bring his triple A game...

edit : now hehas possibly given the game away...

Boring final lol.. Piece of cake this French open has been for nadal

Rain delay...which can be good for Nole.

Gaah !... Rain delay... And Nadal is too strong ! ^^

Rafa is strong but djoko is making too many errors

by **Corbon** » Sun, 10 Jun 2012 16:16

He's playing like Fed played against him in the semi. Many errors, then some moments of brilliance, then falling back again.

Jep, with a real 1st serve and less ues this would be a totally different match...

by **Corbon** » Sun, 10 Jun 2012 16:45

And a forehand at all.

It's a pity, really hoped to see something big from Nole today...

by **Ali-Iqb93** » Sun, 10 Jun 2012 17:05

Nole isn't serving well.. That's the key.. He keeps breaking rafa's serve but can't hold his own

by **Corbon** » Sun, 10 Jun 2012 17:06

He had 75% ish against Fed but only a bit over 50% today. But it's his forehand that is causing him the most trouble.

by **Ali-Iqb93** » Sun, 10 Jun 2012 17:13

Novak still believing that he can win 2-2 3rd set

Edit: 3-2 Nole serving. But still doubt that rafa will give the 3rd set to him

by **Zeppelin** » Sun, 10 Jun 2012 17:31

Yes, at least he shows what he's capable of...
