Why would people hate Djokovic? He's done nothing to gain such hatred unless you guys are close friends with him and he's done something ridiculous behind closed doors to ya.

Apparently they let the match continue in the third set because they were hoping that nadal would rap up the game in 3 sets.
Later nadal was a bit angry

Still think Nadal will win this. But I hope Djokovic destroys him tomorrow.
It's weird. Nadal is a great player and all but he even makes Djokovic look super aggressive, which he really isn't.

Djokovic has always been a pretty aggressive player bro -_-
If Djokovic beats Nadal after being 2 sets down on Nadal's surface, then Nadal should just pack it in and retire.
I kind of think it's Federer and Nadal fan boys who hate up on Nole the most.
I don't think he is really. His game is similar to Nadal in many ways. Both like to slowly work opponents out from the back of the court and outlive them in long rallies as opposed to a Tsonga who prefers to win points in less than 5 shots or even a Federer who, while has alwAys had the ability to mix it up, likes to hit the winner a lot earlier. But when they play each other, Nadal makes Djokovic look extremely aggressive because he's the one constantly making the play, good or bad. Another reason I want Djokovic to win. I like.players who try to dictate.
So its starting once again
Lucky nadal, djokovic starting much like yesterday again.
Nadal breaks. He looks better today
That is nadal at his best on clay
That forehand miss by Novak on 30-30 was a killer. He is going to struggle to win this set now.
Nadal's new approach: be aggressive.
You can clearly see the difference between the later stage of yesterdays play and today
It's unfortunate for djokovic. He looked like winning. Now...
Rain again??
fecked up tournament and final. Weather is shit.
Djokovic is clearly not in the zone anymore like he was yesterday evening. Cheap points galore for nadal again.
Rafa:"Please save the ball".
Rafa was looking good so far

This final has lost all magic and excitement for me, all these interruptions just make me think wrap it up whoever and move on. Tennis depends so much on the momentum of the players and I really think Nole was getting back into the game yesterday, coming back from two sets down and winning would have been such an amazing display.
Lets be fair though, nadal was interrupted as well. Who might have said novak would have done what he did if he didnt have that first break?
Yeah. Can't get into it now. Just want it to be over. Get a roof
Well sun is out now
I'm just saying Nole was clearly on the roll, won a set and was leading in the fourth, Nadal getting a big weaker, I think Nole would have most likely won the set and we'd have a fifth. In a way the interruption benefited Nadal more than Djokovic.
French crowd booing.
Nadal not showing same sportsmanship as novak yest er day.
What happened?
Djokvic was being a pussy. He should have gone for a deep slice or hit it with more convictio. When nadal returned that ball half court. Instead he did nothing and handed the initiative to nadal.
Novak hit a cball close to the line (probably just out), but nadal continued playing on. When he lost the point he went to that previous shot and contested it. Then he was all surprised that the referee did not hand him the point or at least replayed it.
He didn't run for the last point, he was already looking at the mark.
Nadal with a championship point
Doesnt mater, you dont continue hitting the next shot.
nadal wins 
Bullshit.
He didn't hit the last shot, he didn't even move for that
Ok nadal fluked his championship. Novak at his best looked different class yesterday tovanything what nadal has shown though. Expect normal service to be resumed at wimbledon. Novak in four.
What a way for Djokovic to lose it after all that, with a double fault. But it's been coming, Nadal has clearly been the better of the two since the restart.
feck sakes
Yeah fluked would be the word?
What a timely break for nadal yesterday.
