2016 'Shadow' AO Final: R Nadal vs. B Coric

[Krish872007]

Who's got this one?

We should do one of these for each Slam Final regardless of who the players are now.

 

[CYGS]

Lol. Does that mean Djokovic has bad knee while Murray idolizes Djokovic?

 

[Krish872007]

It means no one can counter Djokovic's FH DTL.

And Murray plays more like Murray when he's playing badly.

Wtf bro

I vote "Pete"

 

[maticftw]

I was wondering when this would pop up.

 

[Krish872007]

Djokovic's gain is Rafa's gain in this scenario.

 

[tennisjedi]

Rafa(Djokovic) in 3, if he played Monfils earlier.

Otherwise it's Coric in 5.

 

[Gazelle]

Again Nadal showcases his tactical brilliance. If he can't win by himself, his best bet is to put his faith in Novack. The Serb will bring him the much coveted wooden spoon trophy on sunday.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Nadal to complete the double grand slam career

 

[Kalin]

Is this like the moral final?

 

[Krish872007]

Is this like the moral final?

Not quite. This is the Real Final.
And the winner won't be the carbon copy of Murrovic.

So Coric is battling Rafa for the wooden spoon?

There are always two players come the final of any tournament whose vanquisher lost in the next round, vanquisher of vanquisher in following round, etc.?

 

[Kalin]

Not quite. This is the Real Final.
And the winner won't be the carbon copy of Murrovic.

So Rafa is the only person with a chance of a Triple Career Slam (TCS)?

The actual 4 tournaments (already in the bag), the Moral 4 (already in the bag multiple times) and now the Real one? Amazing... when will this man stop?

Yup.
The Shadow AO mirrors the true AO - so there were 8 in the Quarters, 4 in the semis and 2 finalists (these two), etc.

 

[Meles]

Coric deserves this more in my book so all the more reason I want Murray in 4.

(e.g. Rafa 1-3, 15-30 Coric)

Yes there is always one wooden spoon winner, just like one champion.

Novak is playing for Rafa, yeah? rafa is going to win!

 

[Krish872007]

RAFA wins the AO Final, beating Coric 1-6, 5-7, 6-7(3)!
