Day 15 - Men's Singles Final

First topic message reminder :

Nadal v Djokovic.

Here is the thread for the final, can't believe I might miss it due to cricket!

I say Nole for the win in 5 sets, IT'S HIS GODDAMN DESTINY

Great change up from Rafa

Nadal has to resort to drop shots. Djokovic moving better.

uhum..waha...

So much grunting and groaning going on, but the sounds come across as natural unlike the ones women make. No faking there.

You have been waiting to make an entrance?

Can't take this

True. In all fairness, Rafa was not at his best either though.

That said, I still say that I have not seen anything from Rafa this season to convince me that he has found a solution to his Nole problem. He may win this one but it is all up to how Nole plays.

Absolutely, this match once again shows how the match-up is on Novak's racket.

Rafa is not happy at all

Awesome from Djokovic. Amazing plays from Djokovic.

Yes, but Nole was still doing the right thing there too. In a long run, Rafa will not find the percentages he needs in these plays. The important thing is he is showing Rafa that he is willing to stay in the rallies now.

What a fightback from Djokovic!!!

Has Nadal ever lost a clay court match 2 sets up to love?! It's remarkable!

Djokovic's 1st serve in the 3rd set was 75%, up from 50%, that explains the fightback we're seeing.

It's so wet out there one wonders how they can hold on to their rackets.

Whatever happens, Novak is a great champion. What a final he is playing, considering the fact that he was not playing well to start.

Nadal beginning to moan / complain.

Nadal is a goner.

It is Nole's destiny to win in 5.

This never happened that Rafa lost 8 consecutive games on clay!

It's a difficult decision because Nadal was okay when he was two sets up and a break up in the third.

Nadals game has been destroyed by the wet.

It hurts my soul to agree with you but it looks that way, yes

Even the breaks?

This is worrying for Nadal right now.

After losing the RG final Nadal will retire.

Bye bye Nadull.

play suspended

That break may just have saved Nadal. He'll want this to hold over to tomorrow, and bright skies.

Are my ears deceiving me, or did Rafa use the word "livid" in a sentence? If so, his English has really improved.

Speaking of livid, Uncle Toni got involved in a heated exchange with one of the tournament officials.

Got to use the break, Rafa, seeing as you've basically forced it

I think Djokovic has played with a better sporting spirit than Nadal. It seems to me that they will have to wait until tomorrow now where the forecast is also poor.

As a final this has been a load of Poopie!

It seems the Slams this year are going to be lost more than won.

I'm working at Queen's all next week- looks like we won't see lots of play there either!

Very interesting match so far.

Great to see Djokovic fight back. If this goes to five sets, it will be the second time Nadal will play five sets at RG (previous being Isner 2011).

If it goes to 5sets Nadal will go down to the new King.

Nole will win. He will make a comeback.

I've actually enjoyed the fight back from Djokovic, if he manages to win after being two sets down to love and a break in the third then it shows what a champion he is.

What it does suggest is Novak needlessly lost those first two sets and perhaps nerves got the better of him when he started. However if he gets back into this...that would be something!

jersey can I make prediction?

You will succumb to an Indian astrologer in a sodomic tussle.

Funny how you had nothing to say when Djokovic was losing jersey but once he's doing well you make in appearance.

You first predict Djokovic will win in 4 sets and then say it's going to be in 5 when it's clearly obvious if he does win it can only be in 5.

Nole will do the Nole slam.

Luscius: It seems to me that only Djokovic Mk I and Djokovic Mk1.5, have so far appeared in this tournament. However, after the severe stretching he received from Nadal in the first two and a bit sets, Djokovic Mk II has finally appeared. We shall have to await to see whether he reappears after the lengthy break (it may be tomorrow now).

Who is jersey and why has he posted the same posts and topics about a trillion times?

Well I hope you guys are enjoying the match I know I am. Clicking on the DVR to go play a couple of sets and come back hopefully to watch a happy conclusion. In a way I feel good about this match either way. Novak is proving with this final he can hang with Nadal even at RG. Too bad his first serve would not drop in for him in the first two sets. Lets go 5 I am having too much fun.

ps There seems to be someone spamming this tennis forum with unnecessary comments and articles.

Leverfan being soft on jersey picture fetish.

I do not want to be a cowboy shooting from the hip either. These pictures contribute nothing to the discussions.

Just the pictures? How about all his articles and 99% of his posts?

Don't pictures have to be in Spoiler tags according to the site rules?

ye bit too late though when you're 2 sets down. Do it from 0-0 or 0-1 then i'm impressed.

Come on, Jersey cant be allowed to spam like this.

I believe the astrologer.

Nole will win in 5.
