I dont even understand how people say Nadal has surpassed Federer. 2 more Slams thanks to 14 thousand FOs. Federer is so much better than Nadal on hard and grass it's not even funny.

Btw Ive had enough of this drama queen daisy and his fake injuries. That cherry boy Nadal has no effing clue what an actual injury is. Tear an ACL in your knee like I did a couple of years ago and then clutch out 4.5h matches against players 11 years your junior. Little faking liar, how anyone treats him seriously is beyond me. His unborn baby probably dodany believe this phony noob.

Not changing my mind until I see a W/O or retirement. In reality all his injuries will heal within a day and expect him to be at his best in the SF and F. Nadal is so fake his injuries are becoming a meme on their own.

the dream final is kyrgios vs djokovic. we've seen nadal vs djokovic finals a zillion times.
Yeah, I don't understand the hype for Djokodal part 10,001. Nothing we haven't seen literally dozens of times before. They've won so much, and seem set to continue winning so much, that even a slam final feels kinda small potatoes. For a guy like Kyrgios it would be the biggest match of his life. For Djokovic and Nadal it's just any old Sunday.

Perfect. Then let's have a Nadal vs Norrie final

Kyrgios would **** the bed. That’s the type of guy he is. He’s basically jekyll and hyde. I think maybe kyrgios could take a set off novak but novak wins. Yawn.

This match doesn't really matter does it, given the son of God is winning the whole thing. Battle for the runner up trophy is what this is

I've picked Nadal in 4.

But I believe whomever wins the 2nd set wins the match. If Nick wins the first and but drops the second, he's done. If Nick wins the first two set, he will close out, even if he drops the 3rd set.

I think Nadal can get way with dropping the 2nd set if he wins the first. If Nadal wins the first two sets, match over. He will take the wind out of Nick sails.

Well, Djokodal would still be way more exciting than that. A Djokodal final is pretty much guaranteed to be a reasonably high-level, entertaining match – I'm not saying it would suck – it just doesn't feel like a huge occasion anymore. Hopefully at the US Open we get something fresh but also not some random WTA-style roulette-wheel final. Like Medvedev-Alcaraz – that would be awesome.

At this point if he can hobble onto the court and be semi competitive, I’d give Rafa 20% chance of victory.

This is only on the basis that Nick becomes distracted by the hype of the occasion and mentally self implodes.

Otherwise Rafa will need to keep the rallies short, just focus on holding serve and try a steal the set in the breakers.

That’s the only chance he has
