OK, just made a rack of lamb, sweet potato and a mix of green vegetables.

Who wants to eat? :)

Fattening up Nadal before tomorrow. Smart.

Joco wins. Diego energy level went down 2nd half of 3rd set

Joco needs to save that 4 direction hug wave until he wins the tournament at least

Djokovic was getting to every ball in that third set. He is not tired. I'll believe he can be tired when I see it. He will probably win really easy tomorrow.

We got the showdown we wanted.

There are two ways of looking at tomorrow's match .
1) Will a battle weary and tired Djokovic stave off a well rested Nadal ?
2) Will a rested yet untested Nadal be ready for a battle hardened Djokovic ?

@Hitman thoughts please.

This has to be Nadal's best chance to get a win. He could not have asked for a more ideal scenario. Novak has played back to back three set matches against two very in form players, he has also played the last three matches in the evening so will have to adjust to the day conditions, and finally, he will have the least amount of time to rest and recover. Nadal has been efficient, yes, he has not been tested, but he will have the fresher legs out there tomorrow.

Djokovic's forehand is working very well out there and that spells danger for Nadal if Djokovic can get over the tiredness factor. Nadal serving well doesn't matter against Djokovic, Novak will return just fine, but the question is can Nadal look to exploit the slightly dead legs tomorrow by being able to play from the middle and move the ball to the sides.

If Nadal loses this convincingly still, he will have very little chance to change it around in Paris.

IMO, the worst scenario for Nadal will be to win Rome but lose in RG. Peaking at the wrong time is the worst thing for a tennis player, worse than losing everything.

That's rich coming from someone who bitches about Fedfans in every second post

Good thing I never deny it lol. You guys are terrible for the most part, as shown by gramps over there. Try not ****ting this forum up for a week, maybe I'll shut up. Usually I'm provoked by classic idiot responses like this as well

It is my sincere surprise. He often writes from the position of authority around here.

:cool:

So you attack him for no discernible reason other than cause you have a stick up your ass as always. Genius move. Full of class like the player you support amiright?

Congrats to Djokovic blnt Schwartzman 6-3 6-7 6-3 , Djokovic is defending 360 points, so irrespective of win or lose in the finals-he gains either 240 or 660 ATP points.

Cheers
