its roland garros!!!! if there is one place on the earth where rafa enters the court as the favourite against djoko, its that place!!!

I wish I was that confident. Rafa has a back issue, he hasn't been able to serve well, unfortunately and he has a mental block against Djoko

i feel his serving has been emaculate this tournament. he has just played his best game of the year against murray.

plus, this is not the rome open or miami. its ROLAND GARROS!!! he is STILL the king of clay. i just cant see rafa again being blindsided by djoko.

Plus, Nole has not exactly been at his best this season.

one set all. looks like this will go the distance

nerve wrecking. My heart can't deal with it at all

Why am I always a bunch of nerves when Rafa is involved? It got better as years passed, but I can't even settle my stomach... let alone my shaking hands and frenetic heart...

Nadal on top right now even though it started as a tactical masterpiece by Novak until somehow, Nadal took the second set.

[Strike 6,960]

Nadal running away with it at the moment. beautiful

Mentally, Novak has lost the match. To have so much control and still be a set a piece has exhausted him. Add to that some of the unbelievable points that Nadal has pulled off at 4-2 in the third set. I don't think he believes he can win it anymore.

Anyone remember wimbledon 2011? After 2 good sets that Novak won it seemed like he lost his pace and couldn't keep it up. Novak has amazing stamina and he is mentally strong. And not to mention that this is the only grand slam that he hasn't won. Too many Nadal fanboys on this forum

This isn't Wimbledon, though. He's playing the best player to have ever played on clay on the court where he has won 8 grand slams. To put that into perspective. Nadal is 65 to 1 in Roland Garros!

Well fuck.

Not a fan of Nole but hate Nadal even more.. At least he can celebrate with Roland Garros - the only trophy left for him from the Grand Slam so I'm happy.
