French Open 2012

Stop fecking raining, might ruin his rhythm for two sets again. Ths is fecking paris.
 
Three times he's been lobbed now. And a Djoko double now. Ridiculous number of doubles from these two now.
 
Stupid french crowd grabbing every opportunity to whistle someone out.
 
Is djokovic scared? Horrendous serving. Those first serves...
 
Neither of them have a good first serve percentage. Guess it's not easy in the conditions
 
Djok really needs this set. I don't think he will be able to come back from two sets down.
 
Got to love new balls. Came on at 3 3 in both sets and helped Rafa
 
If it doesn't finish today (highly likely), it's possible it won't finish before Wednesday considering the forecast for the next two days :lol:
 
What's with the crowd's near-silence whenever Djokovic wins a point? Terrible lack of sportsmanship...
 
What a set point by Nadal.

Which is very surprising considering they don't really like Nadal that much either. I thought the support would be evenly split.
 
That point was a prime example of how Djokovic hasn't been aggressive enough today on the points where he should be putting Nadal away.

As was the set winning point from Nadal.
 
Nadal breaks again

Like I said, he looks statistically maybe marginally better than the others who have gotten raped, but if you don't count breaks, that lad that got him to a tiebreak looked bett er vs nadal than djokovic today. Made to look like a nothing player.

Are you actually watching the match? The match is much closer than scoreline suggests
 
how many unforced errors, djokovic is playing well under his normal level.

Maybe having watched and played tennis for twenty years (it was my first sport, knew it before football)gives me an edge in feeling/analyzing these matches. It is not close at all so far.

I don't think many will share your view here, we all know nadal has been better but "nothing player" is pushing it
 
Djokovic has remembered what made him have the edge over nadal: his return of serve.
 
Novak has upped his level to his normal standard vs nadal in finals. A different player now.Is it too late?
