Here we go. The match we've been all waiting for.

The Wolf aka the Croc vs. the Bull aka the ********, for the 10th time on Roland Garros dirt!! Tell me about a skewed rivalry!

Last year I was confident Djokovic could do it even when almost everyone thought he had no chance. Djokovic proved everyone wrong then and now it seems more people think he can do it again. Understandable after last year's epic victory!

For me, it's a bit different this time, I can't say I'm as confident as I was last year because Djokovic’s fitness is questionable this year. This could go to the distance and Belgrade final was only one month ago. I hope he can at least start the match better than he did last year or the year before.

Bring it on!

The inevitable. Disgust.

Novak in 4 but maybe nadal can surprise me once again. Nadal play with house money at this point.

 

[JaxTeller]

Nadal in 4.. with one of the best FH performance ever seen

The 4R match is not over. Please delete this thread.

It's over now. Sadly I have to go with Djoker in four, but I thought Felix would win 10 games against Rafa so what the hell do I know.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Vote and discuss.

 

[aman92]

Nadal in straights.. You heard it here first

 

[The Blond Blur]

Joker in 4 sets max. RAFA just went through a 4.5 hour 5 set war

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

LMAO at the guys dying to be the one making the thread, what the hell lol what difference does it make which poster creates it

 

[dapchai]

Lol 3 threads already.

 

[Jokervich]

There are 3 threads, which one do I pick?

Djokovic in 4, but could easily be Djokovic in 3. He is playing supremely well and Nadal is playing badly.

 

[merwy]

3-1 Djokovic. I would give Djokovic the slight edge if both were in usual form. But with this 5-setter against FAA (where Nadal looked subpar) and his recent injury, I’d be extremely surprised if Djokovic doesn’t win.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nadal in 4! Hope I’m wrong though.

 

[Jokervich]

3 threads, which one is the official match thread?

Djokovic in 4, but could easily be Djokovic in 3. He is playing supremely well and Nadal is playing badly.

 

[SonicNirvana]

I changed my mind. Rafa will win this

 

[weakera]

When history looks backs on this thread, don't forget, Rafa is playing with a bad foot

 

[dapchai]

There are 3 threads, which one do I pick?

Mine because it's legal (right after the FAA match) and it came before @UnforcedTerror.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Novak in 4. Nadal is playing with house money after today. Too inconsistent although played brilliantly in the second and 3rd set.

 

[Jokervich]

3 threads, which one is the actual match thread?

Djokovic in 4, but could easily be Djokovic in 3. He is playing supremely well and Nadal is playing badly.

 

[kishnabe]

Nadal in 5.

 

[I Am Finnish]

 

[lud]

Based on form, Djokovic in 4.

If FAA took 2 sets from this Nadal, than Djokovic surely can took 3.

 

[weakera]

Nadal in straights.. You heard it here first

It's definitely on my bingo card. Long matches did Rafa good at AO. However I'm certainly not going to the bookies for this one after the variance of the last two meetings here.

 

[Biotic]

Lol 3 threads already.

9 matches weren't enough, why should one thread do the job?

 

[Krish0608]

Rafa in 4, if his foot holds up. Lol just kidding. Rafa in 4.

 

[WarriorRafa]

Choco in straights

 

[20 20 20]

Novak in straight

 

[Kralingen]

All I can say is this will be a nailbiter.

Need to know more about the conditions of the match before I predict with any confidence though. Going with Rafa in 5 to be safe, he showed me something special in that 5th set.

You get 100 internet points for creating it. It's like commenting "first"

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

All bets are off when these two legends face each other.

Head says Novak. Heart says Rafa.

 

[NeutralFan]

There are three types of Fans who are picking Nadal

1- Djokovic fans ( to hype Rafa )

2- Deluded Fans

3- Pure trolls like @Kralingen.

 

[StrongRule]

Rafa in 4, if his foot holds up. Lol just kidding. Rafa in 4.

The level of your trolling reaches a new height every day. Now Djokovic is worse than FAA?

 

[Mark-Touch]

Who will win the battle for this thread???

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Come on, Rafa.

Looks like @threehandedbackhand already got it done

 

[albatros_forehand]

Vamos! The most hated player, the fake, the liar, the drama queen, the wannabe hero vs The Goat!

True, that dying is ridiculous.

what the hell lol what difference does it make which poster creates it

It really doesn't make a difference.

Congrats on winning the battle for this thread!

Not sure if @Enceladus approves this

 

[Aabye5]

Joker in 4 sets max. RAFA just went through a 4.5 hour 5 set war

He just produced a magical performance, and you doubt him now?

 

[Bud]

Was there a thread on the 4.5 hour Nadal v FAA match?

 

[Rosstour]

Based on what we have seen over the past year...not sure how I can predict a Rafa win. It would be an upset at this point given rankings and recent H2H.

 

[Kralingen]

Wait wait,

when did Rafa show ANY signs of fatigue in that 5th set??? He was looking great on those final points, quicker than the 21 year old Felix to the net.

Did we watch separate matches?

He has two full days off, he'll be raring to go for this.

 

[Krish0608]

Lmao, stop triggering @StrongRule

You got me
