Oh boy, Federer would have won this if he entered RG.
But Brave Sir Roger ran away....

Rafa is mot matching Fed’s slam record. This is my opinion all along.There's no one as insecure as a Fed fan. He has so many records and his fans are still afraid of Rafa and angry when he wins, coming with all kinds of false accusations.
Because the guy is an absolute moron.Bump
Official match thread. The other thread was created on My 9 for their Madrid match. I don't know why someone bumped that thread.
I only recently found out the FO 82 final four set match was 4 hours and 47 minutes. 1/6 7/6 6/0 6/4. Just unreal...Vilas vs Wilander.Did I hear that right? 3 h 42 mins for a 4 set match with that scoreline? Just woke up, didn't realize they'd be playing.
Second set took 2 hours or something?I only recently found out the FO 82 final four set match was 4 hours and 47 minutes. 1/6 7/6 6/0 6/4. Just unreal...Vilas vs Wilander.
Not sure, haven't watched it yet. They played 330 strokes during the opening nine points, including three rallies of more than 55 strokes each. Gives you an idea I suppose....Second set took 2 hours or something?
My point is that being a fan of Federer is not the same thing as disliking Nadal. I realise that the anti-Nadal brigade doesn't like it when he wins, but one shouldn't conflate being anti-Nadal with being a Federer fan. There may be many vocal people here who are both, but you can be one and not the other.Jedi ... are you serious? Half the posts in this 39 page thread about a Nadal match have been made by Federer fans!
so Why today Rafa was able to open up the court but he couldn't yesterday ???????? this don't make sense to me"I was a bit lucky yesterday because of the rain stop," Nadal admitted afterward. "I was able to stop, to think, to calm down and see things a bit more with clarity....Psychologically and for tennis, I had totally different feelings. I had more confidence."
“At the beginning yesterday, there were no options to open up the court to win points. Today I moved forward and I had a better backhand. I was able to open the court on his forehand. Yesterday I was not able to do so and I was not gaining ground. When I was able to do that, I was able to win the match.”
Because Yesterday cloudy with some rain & today sunnyso Why today Rafa was able to open up the court but he couldn't yesterday ???????? this don't make sense to me
If you think he was trying to disrupt, then sure. He's been behind in plenty of sets this season though and hasn't taken MTO's though.Nadal* 4-6 Schwartzman (*next server) - first set Schwartzman
Nadal wanted a medical time out at the change of ends, but he waited too long to ask and so will have to soldier on.
----------------
That's the first set Nadal has lost at the French Open since 2015. And he's getting his wrist taped up at the end of the set.

@zagor
so he tried to take a timeout at 5-4, Schwartzmann serving, but couldn't.
Trying to disrupt , but failing to do so.
what's weather got to do with it ?Because Yesterday cloudy with some rain & today sunny
Nadal plays better when the sun is shiningwhat's weather got to do with it ?

Revisiting this thread and the match.. Nadal fans what were your feelings before rain interrupted ???? Surely Schwartzman gave a huge scare for me !!

He was a set and a break down before rain Gods interrupted. Diego was simply unstoppable in that cloudy conditions.Hard for me to remember tbh. You never know what could happen, but I doubt I thought Rafa would lose.
I was super confident that nadal would find a way to win the next day. Diego almost always troubles rafa but he finds a way to ugly vs Diego except this years Rome lol.Revisiting this thread and the match.. Nadal fans what were your feelings before rain interrupted ????

Slightly nervous but I really didn't think Rafa would lose in that tournament....he was still so far ahead of the rest of the field in 2017 and 2018.Revisiting this thread and the match.. Nadal fans what were your feelings before rain interrupted ???? Surely Schwartzman gave a huge scare for me !!

And I'll be honest with you Sir!!! I thought exactly the same except I didn't think far ahead as who was gonna win the title. For sure Rain saved the day for us.I'll be honest here, sir.
I thought the upset was on the cards. In the last 4 years of rafa's rejuvenation and RG conquests, I've never seen him as clueless, endangered and helpless as he was in that match vs Diego. I could totally see the small guy taking down nadal, but rain saved Rafa, who produced some of the outstandingly impressive tennis in his next 2 matches.
Without rafa, probably delpo was gonna win the title.
I remember that match quite well. I thought an upset was definitely on the cards. I was already thinking, it doesn't matter, he'll just have to win it next year, this year might not be the one for him.Revisiting this thread and the match..

He was in a really bad position before the rain delay. That definitely helped a lot
