2019 Australian Open Men’s Singles Final (1) Novak Djokovic V (2) Rafael Nadal

[Raul_SJ]

He is clearly in Rafa's head

Rafa is 6-1 H2H at the French.
Will be interesting to see if Novak can take him out on clay.

3-1 Djokovic. This really does seem unfair. Sorry to all Nadal fans; I expected more of a battle.

 

[minorchords164]

Finally a 139km/hr BH down the line to try and get the break back. Glimmer of hope.

He's effing down a break in the third and two sets.

 

[Krish0608]

What can you say? Too good. That's all.

 

[onyxrose81]

Fans starting the injury bs...of course it’s not that Novak is great and also is in Nadal’s head? Rafa has to press more because, all respect to them, Nole isn’t Duckworth, Ebden and the like. No Nadal fan wanted to hear it when people said his draw was weak and did him no favors.

 

[RF-18]

Nadal is hopeless out there. Completely outtplayed in every aspect of the game.

 

[Deleted member 369227]

Unreal level of tenis by Nole... Wow, wow, wow...

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko roar!

 

[Stanzad]

Rafa is playing “AMAZING” lol after beating De Minaur, hyped as f, amateur player.

 

[I Am Finnish]

This is sad to see

 

[TheIntrovert]

All those threads about peak Nadal.

One of the most frustrating things for Fed, Nadal and Murray fans alike is that Novak always ups his level against them. Nadal has been in the better form all tournament but then Novak comes out and plays like this.

Credit to him. It's crazy to think he's playing at this kind of level at 31 years old

To be fair if nadal came through with som formidable opponents I might say this means something but he didnt.

 

[mike danny]

It's time for Nadal as well to suffer at the hands of Djokovic in his 30's just like Fed did.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

I may agree with the sentiment that Novak is the best ever. It's really too bad he took 2 years off... like 3 times.

 

[AceSalvo]

SPANKovic says SPANKyou!

 

[scotus]

Come on, Novak. Play nice with Rafa.

 

[-NN-]

Hahaha No.

 

[RF-18]

ROFLMAOOO!!

 

[Deleted member 77403]

I dont get why people are so bewildered, yes Rafa could play much better but he had legit faced nobody that could really push him before the finals and as @Hitman said his new and approved serve is still not better than feds and unfortunately as I recall Novak is never troubled by feds serve

Exactly, I mentioned this, but that I was getting beaten up for saying what I thought.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Novak's impressing me today.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Servers are preparing themselves for the worst. Data is too hot to handle, Jack.

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic is fired up.

 

[abmk]

It's important to keep things in perspective. Rafa wasn't supposed to have a great tournament. Most people on this board thought he wouldn't make it here after Brisbane.

This is a serious beatdown tho

yeah, point is not many Nadal fans were willing to accept/talk about the crappy performance of his opponents helping him look better.
and this beatdown will sting big time.

djoko with a crushing BH CC to hold.

 

[chjtennis]

What a humiliation.... Probably the worst defeat in a slam final to Nadal.

 

[Night Slasher]

Novak is destroying him right now. He plays as freely as ever, hitting winners from everywhere right now. Ridiculously good from him.

 

[Benben245]

time to go FLATTTTTTT everything

 

[NatF]

This match has showed me that Rafa has lost a step in his movement. That is the main difference from 7 years ago and this court is faster which is giving him even less time.

That should have be evident already lol. The field being so poor at the moment is the only reason he's looked so good - even on clay there's been no one able to test his movement for the last two years.

And lol at that backhand. Only chance to beat Djokovic looks to be a zoning monster hitter in an early round.

 

[weakera]

Medvedev looked so much more capable of beating Nole minus his conditioning lol

 

[zagor]

Welcome back.

Just passing through.

 

[RF6777]

Djoker will beat Nadal in Roland garros...
& Nadal will thinking abt Wimbledon 2018 for whole June month...

 

[albatros_forehand]

Thanks!!

 

[mike danny]

Nadal should consider himself fortunate that Djokovic is not 5-6 years younger than him.

 

[MugOpponent]

Rafa fans, do you ever wish he breaks a racket? Like today would be a good occasion

No. I don't really see how that would improve the situation.

 

[icedevil0289]

Add to that s surface and court that novsk has excelled on. Not like novsk doesnt have 6 Aos or anything

 

[Steve0904]

JMac giving Fowler the business.

 

[Raul_SJ]

This just goes to show that when one of the top guys plays nothing but MUGS all the way up to a final you can't put the trophy in his hands before the match starts.

Federer would have fared much worse. It would have been ugly.

 

[Jezza94]

I've rarely seen Nadal outplayed to such a degree deep in a slam.

Last time I can recall it to this extent was Tsonga v Nadal AO Semi 2008.

 

[Raining hopes]

PEAKOVIC , ULTRONOVIC, RUTHLESSOVIC,

ROAROVIC ! IDEMO !

 

[Terry Tibbs]

Such a disappointing final isn't it. Was anticipating a classic. Never expected it to be so one sided.

 

[Prabhanjan]

@sureshs should not be allowed to create any threads about Nadal.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

What a humiliation.... Probably the worst defeat in a slam final to Nadal.

It will be his worst...first in straight sets if Novak wins this set.

 

[pikku05]

Come on Rafa..hold and then try to break his serve..

 

[Service Ace]

Nadal is injured. This "win" for the Djokovic is going to have an asterisk next to it in the H2H.

 

[arcadewater19]

trump should hire joker to be the wall

 

[ghostofMecir]

Djokovic’s hitting from defensive positions today has been otherworldly. Nadal simply can’t get anywhere past neutral.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Djokovic And Nadal right now

 

[icedevil0289]

Exactly, I mentioned this, but that I was getting beaten up for saying what I thought.

Lmao maybe it sounds better coming from a fed fan

 

[Ledigs]

What makes djokovic’s serve so tough
