Do these American commentators EVER shut up?
They seem more interested in hearing themselves talk than the match itself

Someone please make a gif of the squiggly return Rafa hit on the second point in the third game.
@MichaelNadal - What WAS that?
It had so much spin on it the ball was swirling and floating all over the place like a butterfly lol.

Why would either of these guys retire? The score line is lopsided (one of these guys is the single surface GOAT) but this is some high octane tennis.

I'm not trying to spar, and I also don't deserve any kudos. Tennis is a great sport, and it's a treat to watch the Big 3 and others. Conditions robbed both of their best today, but there have been some marvelous points and dramatic sets.

No way Fed should have lost that game. These are brutal conditions for offensive tennis.

It is likely Djokovic get cheered more, the French like to see Nadal get upset at RG.

Federer is p1ssed, he has absolutely nothing to be annoyed about really, plays on clay for the first time since 2016, plays RG for the first time since 2015, gets to the Semis, makes points and sets himself up nicely for the Grass season.
I REALLY wanted him to win this.

Yes, because it’s only windy on one side of the court?

Weeks at No.1 never mattered that much , Only GS

I don’t think so. If Djokovic wins the CGS you can make an argument about him being the goat.

Oh well... It would have been over a long time ago if S(a)tan played Nadal today instead. Good effort from old Rog IMO.

Nadal playing at a much higher level and bringing his A game against his rival. There is no way Fed will recover from that second set loss which is he did despite playing so well

Let them have it. This is Nadal's last win against Federer against 2020 Monte Carlo at least. And if Federer decides to never play on clay again then this is his last win vs Federer ever.
After the FO final:
Exit claydal
Enter injurdal

And it's absolutely bang on the money too. It's something which is overrated and bandied about carelessly on sports boards. There is a difference between saying something is overrated and something is not important, as Shannon Sharpe would say "two things can be true."

I'm honestly not impressed by Nadal's game at all. Irrespective of the result.
Playing like this, Nadal won't even win a set against Djokovic on Sunday.
It will be like their 2015 scoreline.
It's crazy how much Nadal has declined on clay and in general.

Nadal has played really well I thought, but yeah if it's Djokovic vs Nadal I'm expecting a serious battle. This match isn't indicative of anything really.
