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

[AceSalvo]

Djoko on Song so far.

 

[VaporDude95]

Nadal is getting his ass kicked hehehe

 

[Indigo]

Is it me only who sees something wet on Rafa's pants? He even missed a ball. 5:2 for Novak already. It looks like Novak worked a lot on his body twisting. He can rotate so well around his axis.

 

[Nostradamus]

RAFA needs to go up the line sooner in the rallie. Novak is sitting on that forehand cross court

 

[Deleted member 763024]

That whiff was Roger Federer like

 

[pepka]

Nadal still hasn't won a point on Novak's serve.

14-0 so far.

That's sick... and unfair to be honest.

 

[Deleted member 716271]

20 for 20 on serve is that near a record to start a slam final?

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Got a crotch view suddenly.

 

[imonfire]

Nole is fun like it's 2011.

 

[NEW_BORN]

Nadal looks terrified out there. Djokovic's groundstrokes are insanely accurate.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Wait what djokovic had not lost a point on his serve yet ??

 

[Noletheking]

Tbh

lol just ridiculous ballstriking from Djokovic.

Nadal has been equally pathetic

 

[RF6777]

Need 2016 Aus open Federer of 3 Rd set semi final here

 

[True Fanerer]

Good grief

 

[Tshooter]

Will Rafa win more games than Poulet ?

 

[D.Nalby12]

Don't tell me this Novak is anything worse than 2015-16 version. Guy hasn't declined at all - miracle really.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Oh deer, the nadal can't even find the ball, a very rare sight. He's all uncomfortable.

 

[Terenigma]

So how long before Rafa calls the trainer or goes for a 10min bathroom break? Any bets?

 

[robert.s]

Djokovic is a huge step up in quality comparing with Nadal's opponents so far. He seems to have troubles raising his game. Djokovic with a 10/10 set imo so far. Pretty near perfect.

 

[RF-18]

this is brilliant, djokovic just raised his game immensely for this match.

 

[edberg volleys]

D GOATing, unbelievable stuff

 

[Red Rick]

The more a match is hyped to the high heavens

The faster it crashes into the ground

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Once again, Djokovic is getting no love from the public. They’re all rooting for Rafa.

 

[stringertom]

Nadal is well below the Mendoza line and fouling off as much as the slick fielder/weak hitter SS.

 

[TennisFan3]

Not a SINGLE point won by Nadal on Djokovic's serve. Looks totally outmatched.

This is a beatdown big time. It's about the worst tennis Nadal has ever played in a major. He's tight as a drum.

 

[LETitBE]

red hot nadal

 

[irishnadalfan1983]

Hard to know if Nole is playing incredible or Rafa playing poorly...

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Not that we needed any proof but.....the younger generations are really bad.

 

[Noletheking]

Nadal's CC FH has been a shadow of itself for a long long time.

That insane angle is gone from his cc FH

 

[tennisfan2015]

Nadl has been playing too much of AirGuitar

 

[weakera]

Hard to know if Nole is playing incredible or Rafa playing poorly...

Both

 

[DRII]

thats right!

run him, Nadal, run him!

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Hard to know if Nole is playing incredible or Rafa playing poorly...

A bit of both

 

[The Green Mile]

20 for 20 on serve is that near a record to start a slam final?

Think Goran may have gone an opening set without dropping a service point in one of his Wimbledon finals, but don't quote me there....

 

[metsman]

Great to see the dullards blathering about Nadal FH > Federer FH suffer.

Don't think there's many people who say that.

 

[cronus]

Wait and watch what happens in the second set, tables will turn big time.

 

[3lite]

Someone PM me please.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Ok. Please break him and seal the set now. You are so much better so far. Don't let him pull houdini act.

 

[Noletheking]

Hard to know if Nole is playing incredible or Rafa playing poorly...

It's both, there's no excuse for Rafa to not win a single point on Nole serve.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Hard to know if Nole is playing incredible or Rafa playing poorly...

Nadal is mediocre. Novak great.

 

[Tshooter]

Someone must have messed with the order of Rafa’s water bottles is the only explanation so far.

 

[Deleted member 716271]

Don't tell me this Novak is anything worse than 2015-16 version. Guy hasn't declined at all - miracle really.

speed slightly worse, groundstrokes and serve are better lol

 

[tennis4jags]

WTA final was much better ..very disappointed as a Rafa fan

 

[Daniel Andrade]

"The first time Nadal dominates a point"

 

[Deon Sanders]

Novak running too much right now

Just pack it in and take the set

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

TTW's potato servers are hanging on by a string.

 

[bezs]

Will the real Ralph Nadal please stand up.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Starts at 12:30 am my time in California. Obviously not a fan of either guy, but the only thing making me miss this match is nuclear war, Ebola or a vague pandemic.

That must be one of my favourite autocorrects ever. A "vague pandemic" sounds like something out of Douglas Adams.

(I'm assuming it wasn't something intentional that went right over my head!)

[scotus]

Rafa's backhand coming alive!

 

[Alexandre]

The moment there's a drop shot they all start clowning.

Wrong impression

 

[Tennisgods]

Wow. Djokotron in the house.
