2014 French Open Final: Nadal (1) V Djokovic (2)

[ACE of Hearts]

I wonder what new tactic joker will bring to the table.Will he do the same and try to grind with nadal on each point?

 

[Deleted member 77403]

This is the only match that should be the final...I think we're in for a classic.

 

[TeamOB]

I just got an email from TheF1Bob. He's got a permaban.

Dammit, he was one of the best posters around here. Mods, please bring him back.

 

[NADALRECORD]

how was 2012 god-like form from Djokovic? He stumbled into the final after so many tough matches and beatdowns from Nadal throughout that clay season.

Djokovic's form at this years FO has been as high as its been in the last 3 years.

Djokovic looked like garbage today. He looked nonathletic and nervous.

 

[beast of mallorca]

I think I might grill out today

Drinks are on the house...........:twisted:

 

[Roddick85]

I pick Djokovic in 5 sets. Nadal will give everything he's got to keep his title, I don't think Djokovic will have an easy time, but in the end he will prevail.

 

[veroniquem]

And why is that? Nadal can win on clay as much as he wants. He dissapears for the rest of the season 2 days from now and that's all that matters.

He sure didn't disappear last year !!!!!

 

[Djokovic2011]

I think I might grill out today

I thought you liked F1Bob? I'm really gutted to be honest-his gifs always made me lol.

 

[Maximagq]

Djokovic in 5 in the best Mach of the year

 

[ACE of Hearts]

When was the last time that joker got straight setted in a GS final?

 

[tennis_pro]

Like last year when he won everything in the American Hardcourt season? Your whining gets worst.

Good luck with him doing it again.

 

[tennis_pro]

He sure didn't disappear last year !!!!!

2013 is ancient history. Let's see what Hafa shows on HC's in 2014.

 

[puiacalin91]

rafa in 4 , peaking in the final like he should and like he always did

 

[FedererWinsWimbledon2014]

 

[NADALRECORD]

I think Sunday will be the most humiliating day of Djokovic (and ESPN's) career.

 

[AudreyBlue]

When was the last time that joker got straight setted in a GS final?

2013 wimbledon

 

[veroniquem]

2013 is ancient history. Let's see what Hafa shows on HC's in 2014.

Yep let's, if he wins RG, his confidence should be high for the rest of the slams. Crucial final in terms of how the rest of the season may pan out actually. Either one winning RG will give them a tremendous boost for the rest.

 

[LazyNinja19]

Djoko just playing another trick! What a ph0ny! First it was wrist injury, for which he said that "I don't know for how long I wouldn't be able to play". Being so much dramatic, and then he was on the practice courts the very next week. :roll:

And now this.
Just tired of these lame "strategies" which Novak tries to apply every year, for RG.

 

[veroniquem]

What do they mean "sound" sick? He has a sore throat

 

[Mike Sams]

Djokovic is sick? I guess Nadal wins his 9th then.

 

[Djokodal Fan]

Damn, that's not a good news!

 

[Tenez101]

Hopefully just mindgames from Novak. It's really not fun if one guy can't show up 100% healthy.

 

[NADALRECORD]

Djokovic is irrelevant to this here Roland Garros Final, so he can make all the excuses he wants. He'll go unnoticed either way.... Sunday is really all about celebrating Nadal's records.

 

[FedererWinsWimbledon2014]

 

[All-rounder]

When was the last time that joker got straight setted in a GS final?

Ask Murray......

 

[Chanwan]

The weather will decide this match.

Sunny and warm, Nadal wins.

Cold, Nole wins.

Warm and cloudy? Looks most likely right now. 81 F or 27 C.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Why is F1Bob banned while a few other people are allowed to keep filling the forum with junk? Miss him.

Don't worry. Murray1337 (his second account) will be active during the finals

 

[Sid_Vicious]

Oh god, more injury concerns and speculation.


I'm definitely not waking up on time for this final. This entire French open has been filled with subpar matches. The more hype goes to into the match, the worst it ends up being. That said, I think both guys have a shot.

 

[Wynter]

Novak in 4, IF he's 100%

If not, Nadal will scrape it in 4/5

 

[Chanwan]

Nadal in 4. Still think Djokovic has a fair chance to win the match.

I'm been saying Novak the entire year. But if him being even just a little sick is more than just a rumor he ain't got much of a chance. There's hardly a chance he'll win if he isn't super fit and ready to battle for five grueling sets

Tired after 2,5 set vs. Gulbis = drained after 1,5 set vs. Rafa.

 

[Fed881981]

Well, that's bad.

 

[DjokovicForTheFO]

Hoping Djokovic takes it but I fear Nadal may be playing better now. He demolished Murray and might have some tricks up his sleeve Sunday. I hope Djoker doesn't lose his nerve, plays calmly and play his game. If he does this, he will win.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

So now novak has an excuse at least lol.

 

[sbengte]

So now novak has an excuse at least lol.

Why Nadal made his excuse even before entering the tournament lol .

 

[Deleted member 542803]

drama queen strikes again

 

[Djokovic2011]

drama queen strikes again

A Nadal fan accusing Djokovic of being a drama queen? Hahaha :lol:

 

[Fed881981]

drama queen strikes again

Oh, yeah.

[Chanwan]

this match has a very Wimbledon 2008 feel.

#1 vs. #2.. one man defending on his greatest surface... another man clawing towards #1 and wanting to dethrone the king.

2012 title game went 4 sets.. 2013's de-facto title game went 5 sets...

I think history repeats itself this year.

Novak over Nadal by Rafa's retirement...

Ain't. No. Chance.

 

[Cesc Fabregas]

Good luck with him doing it again.

You said he never does anything after RG even though he was won Wimbledon and the US Open multiple times. How about giving the guy a little credit?

 

[Chanwan]

Novak in 4, IF he's 100%

If not, Nadal will scrape it in 4/5

I go with this too - except it may even be straights for Rafa if Novak is ill and can't hang with him in the rallies.

 

[Dedans Penthouse]

Novak in 3.

If Pascal Maria is umpiring, Novak in 5.

Chico with a 'funny'


atta boy!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Novak will cry on sunday after failing again.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Novak will cry on sunday after failing again.

He's not the only one!

 

[Phoenix1983]

Finally after 13 days of pointlessness, and 126 pointless players, we have the only match that matters.

The Joker against The Bull.

Mr Flexible against Mr Unbeatable (at RG).

The Serb against The Spaniard.

World No 1 against World No 2.

I must say I think it shall be close. I predict Nadal shall win the first set, before Djokovic begins to warm up and find form. He shall then take the second and third sets.

However, Nadal shall then play as if his life depends on the result, and shall destroy Djokovic in the 4th set.

The fifth set shall be a battle of wins, in which Nadal shall prevail, 10-8.

 

[EpitomeOfAwesome]

Weather forecast during match time is Mostly Sunny, Low 80s, high humidity.

There is rain forecast for the day but that is in the morning.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Hey djokovic2011 I give him a chance if he can serve well.

 

[MichaelNadal]

If Rafa wins he'll be the only guy to win at least 1 slam every year for 10 consecutive years :shock:

 

[Phoenix1983]

Wow! Bookies who have had Novak as favourite for the title have changed their odd's completely! Rafa now odds on favourite.

Have you told 5555?

 

[Phoenix1983]

If Rafa wins he'll be the only guy to win at least 1 slam every year for 10 consecutive years :shock:

Something else:

If Nadal wins, he will have more titles at the FO (9), than all-time greats Connors, Lendl and Agassi have at all slams ( 8 ).

Astonishing! :shock:
