Wimbledon 2011

[wr8_utd]

Djokovic can't keep this level up all match, can he?

Something has to give, which is Rafa's time to pounce, a bit like the Murray game.

No it won't. Djokovic is not like Murray and his concentration doesn't really go for a toss.

Djokovic defends everything just like Nadal which is why he just can't hit through him.

This match is exactly like the 4 matches they've already played this year.

 

[Mihajlovic]

Nadal just got lucky.

 

[phelans shorts]

Novak made a couple of errors that game, straight after I called it.

Boom.

 

[Bryan_Munich]

You wouldn't rule out Nadal even if he loses this set.

He's a fighter with tremendous mental strength.

You completely missed the point.

At some point the shots that are currently landing on the line will go a little bit long as he tires and confidence will dip, it's natural.

 

[Rado_N]

That was a bit more like it from Rafa

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Main thing is Rafa isn't getting a look in on Novak's serve. Not had a BP yet.

 

[wr8_utd]

You completely missed the point.

That's what I thought at Indian Wells. And Miami. And Madrid. And Rome.

Sadly it didn't happen.

It's actually not, when you're hot in Tennis, you're hot......check Soderling vs Nadal French, DelPo vs Federer US, Tsonga vs Federer here....all looked "tired" but because they were hot just weren't missing. And Djokovics a much better all-round player than all of them.

 

[Brophs]

You're the most pessimistic person I've ever encountered. You'd swear Rafa was a club player the way you talk.

You should see him in the Matchday threads.

 

[Ixion]

Another break point, what a performance so far.

 

[prateik]

Wow

 

[TheHorse'sMouth]

Djokovic murdering Nadal..it's not even funny at the minute

 

[wr8_utd]

You should see him in the Matchday threads.

That's more or less in away games though.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

He's quite good.

 

[McLovin]

Clinical.

 

[Vidicious]

Djokovic destroying the seemingly indestructible Nadal, brilliant.

 

[Massive Spanner]

I've never seen Nadal getting hammered like this before.

 

[Mihajlovic]

Can't believe what I'm seeing here, 5:1.

 

[Nearco]

I've never seen Nadal getting hammered like this before.

Not since Tsonga in the Australian in 08. Unreal stuff.

 

[United Fan 101]

At people's claims that Nadal at his peak is better than Federer was at his!

 

[Mihajlovic]

I wish Nole's little brother would stop the finger pointing thing.

 

[wr8_utd]

Well atleast I beat Djokovic on Virtua Tennis 4

 

[ha_rooney]

2 sets up, brilliant from Djokovic.

 

[prateik]

Someone is getting bummed

 

[phelans shorts]

At people's claims that Nadal at his peak is better than Federer was at his!

Nasal isn't at his peak, HTH.

 

[Rado_N]

This is unbelievable.

 

[MikeUpNorth]

Nadal only winning 46% of his own first serve.

 

[wr8_utd]

At people's claims that Nadal at his peak is better than Federer was at his!

Nadal owns Fed.

Djoko owns Nadal.

 

[Kevin]

At people's claims that Nadal at his peak is better than Federer was at his!

6-3 6-1 6-1. French open final 4 years ago.

Nadal beating Federer 3 years ago in the wimbledon final in his 'backyard' when Federer was 26.

 

[rednev]

Nadal's shit. Someone should start a thread.

 

[United Fan 101]

Nasal isn't at his peak, HTH.

Federer will be seen as the greatest player to ever play the game once he's done, forget being better than Nadal. HTH.

 

[McGrathsipan]

Nadal is getting smoked here.
If anyone can turn it around he can.

 

[wr8_utd]

I blame this all on Fed. How the hell could he lose from 2-0

 

[Massive Spanner]

Federer will be seen as the greatest player to ever play the game once he's done, forget being better than Nadal. HTH.

He already is regarded as the best ever.

 

[Kevin]

Finally Nadal gets to feel how Federer feels when he plays him.\

Also, some Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime in the french open thread laughed at the idea of Djokovic doing the same in a grand slam final to Nadal as when Djoko beat him four times in a row before this year... HA fecking HA.

Djokovic would have given him the challenge of his life had Federer not conveniently taken care of him for Nadal.

 

[Bryan_Munich]

I blame Pippa.

 

[United Fan 101]

For a moment I thought I wouldn't mind Nadal winning but after remembering how all his fanboys are, I'd really like to see Djokovic smash him straight sets.

 

[Ixion]

Federer will be seen as the greatest player to ever play the game once he's done, forget being better than Nadal. HTH.

For a couple of years till Nadal overtakes his slam record.
