Yep, it'll be all guns blazing I imagine. Going after every return he can and trying to end points quickly. It'll be fun to watch, but if you offered me a 4 set defeat for Muzza now I'd bite your hand off.

Nadal is remarkable on clay all credit to him.

by Jahu Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:44 pm

Omg Djoko struck by asteroid by the look on his face.

Rafa beating Djoko + 2 of his coaches Laugh

by socal1976 Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:48 pm

Nadal is playing so well can't see a way out for Nole

by socal1976 Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:49 pm

Novak looks mentally spent

by kingraf Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:50 pm

come on Novak, make him serve for it. I still need to find nine games.

by mthierry Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:50 pm

There'll be a lot of nerves if Rafa has to serve this out.

by Jahu Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:50 pm

Holy papa, Nadal takes third.

by socal1976 Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:50 pm

Is there a second wind here, I just can't see it.

by Jahu Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:51 pm

Djoko will fight in the fourth. Not all done yet.

You are an unrepentant gambler KR, one so young with such a vice. You should be more worried about poontang at your age.

by mthierry Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:52 pm

This might just be the best set of the match coming up.

by kingraf Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:53 pm

It's going to happen to me again isn't it, I'm going to be one game short. I have you Djokovic!!

by summerblues Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:57 pm

Nole does not look like has it in him to step it up, but you never know, I suppose.

If he loses today, I wonder if he will ever have as good a chance again. He has now had plenty of cracks at Rafa here - this is the third time since Nole v2 showed up.

by Jahu Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:57 pm

Come on Rafa, close it quickly. Bite that trophy again Laugh

by socal1976 Sun 08 Jun 2014, 4:58 pm

Djokovic just puked on the court he does not look right

Haha, it's a harmless pastime, and last year I made a truckload - probably half my annual salary. Haven't made nearly as much this year, but I'm still quite comfortably in the black, with my most profitable time of the year still to come (cricket season)

I do make an effort to get some, but my girlfriend went to the coast for the holidays, and having given up alcohol, and the Jay, I'm really running out of things to do outside of some basketball in the weekend.

by Guest Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:02 pm

Fair enough kingraf what's the odds on a 2-0 England test victory

Not the shape you want to be in playing Rafa at RG.

Read some good books in the sun Smile

You gave up alcohol and jay, what is the point to life, you might as well become a priest.

Nope he hasn't looked right physically for quite some time in this match

by Jahu Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:06 pm

Rafa break him NOW

by kingraf Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:10 pm

haha, I still enjoy my life. Off to a 15-day cruise around some islands off the coast of Africa in two weeks with the boys. Score 18pts in a blowout in yesterday, and if nothing else, I've still got the eternal struggle of getting under 85kg again -currently hovering around 97...

by socal1976 Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:11 pm

Wow dieting now that is what I call fun.

by socal1976 Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:12 pm

Good fight from Nole to stay in it but Nadal is just playing at a higher gear.

by mthierry Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:12 pm

Did Nole REALLY "puke" out there on court? I'm not watching at the moment, so I'm following the live text.

He spit out a wad that looked about half a kilo but it was mostly clear not a lot of chunks.

by kingraf Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:15 pm

It's a fight mate!!

2-2, and that's me in the money. Now for Nadal to complete my tennis weekend.

by Jahu Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:15 pm

Time to break now for 4:2 up. Go Rafaaaa

by Jahu Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:18 pm

Where is LF? Has she secretly been hoping for Djoko to win? Whistle

by socal1976 Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:18 pm

Novak's serve keeping him in it.

by Silver Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:19 pm

This is utter doom for Novak if he gets broken here. He must hold.

by mthierry Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:20 pm

The clouds are apparently gathering. Nole might just about enjoy this shortly if the weather switches quickly.

by socal1976 Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:21 pm

Its looking like its over here

by Jahu Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:22 pm

Yessssss brokennnnn

go rafaaaaaa

by Guest Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:22 pm

D'oh!

by socal1976 Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:23 pm

Just not strong enough physically or mentally for this matchup and Nadal's forehand and serve was so strong

Djokovic hitting forehands a foot above his head - I bet he wished he had better vertical leap numbers..

by Jahu Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:27 pm

king, seriously quit peddlig gambling crap in your every second post.

Spare us man, there are kids who read here too and gambling sucks.

Keep it to yourself. Thx.

by Silver Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:27 pm

Now or never for Novak...

by skyeman Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:27 pm

A near repeat of the break back in set two. Brilliant.

Ive always imagined you to be a bit of a Sheen-esque individual, Socal.

by socal1976 Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:28 pm

Great return nice to get the break back could this be a second wind?

by Jahu Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:28 pm

Rafa broken

Not the end yet!!

by skyeman Sun 08 Jun 2014, 5:29 pm
