The frenchies want Alcaraz to win I am pretty sure of it. I am French and A LOT are fed up with him, I am not talking about the haters. People respect him but want change.
Federer-Djokovic same half 16/20 slams. I know they had different rankings/seedings for some of them, but still...
Could've been worse. Could've been rewarded with 2005 Nadal.
Alright man, fight alone
Let's be honest, Schwartzman here is just like Nishikori at 2019 Wimb: if you can't beat him, you don't deserve a shot at the title.
Not true. The evidence is to the contrary.
I don't see what a bunch of Rafa fans in the stands proves.
2015 and 2021 sucked.
And then more arguments about the skewed H2H.
It's the winner of Djokovic/Nadal who gets Alcaraz in the semis and Tsitsi who gets Medvedev.
I still don't believe you.
Don't worry, they still respect him/appreciate him. A stadium is not representative
A stadium is more representative than the few people you speak to.
It's okay if you don't want to believe me
Even better. ****s his pants gets the serial clay bottlejob who claims the surface is more suited to dogs in the semifinal. By the time Djokovic or Nadal get to him they’ll have played two grueling 5 sets death matches.
"a few"... Maybe you want to think about why you need to be hateful here
What you say doesn't tie up with the evidence.
You are being hateful to Rafa and making it up that you represent a lot of people.
I am saying a lot of these people are his fans. And I don't hate Rafa, I support him
Sure.
That being said, do you think his statue at RG has cursed him forever? I've always maintained this point of view ever since the organizers erected it, but it would be better to hear from a Frenchman.
I know, everybody is either a total fanboy or a hater
I don't see how being French would get me some insight about curses being a real thing or not
Don't say things that you can't justify.
Not with Djokodal before the finals.
I mean maybe you'll know better about something French but similar to fengshui or anything like that...I don't see how being French would get me some insight about curses being a real thing or not
It was about time.
Even 2008 Nadal had to save a set point against a fairly green Djokovic in their RG semifinal. Today's Djokovic is much better and stronger on clay. It would still be a very difficult match for Nadal no matter which version we're talking about.
Gotta love it. Whoever made the draw probably saw the cakewalk draws Nadal and Djokovic have been getting
Sorry, which 2008 RG SF did Nadal have to save a SP against Choco? The scoreline was 6-4 6-2 7-6(3) which means Choco never had a SP at all.
Okay thanks. I forgot it. That was more of a BP though. I thought you meant a SP on Choco's serve.
Fairly green Djokovic was better than this one so far.
