Djokovic will feast on the next gen even in his forties. He’s just too good.
The fact that Nadal is struggling against these nobodies is proof that he’s done and will retire this year.

Jesus. As bad as this match has been since the 1st set I still think there's a real chance Nadal makes the final. I just have so little faith in Meddy and Stef after last year.
Wow man. You must literally be the only person in the entire galaxy who thinks Nadal makes the final.
Even if he wins this one, he will get creamed by the first top player. He is facing plenty before the final.

This is one of the WORST R1 matches, Nadal has EVER played in a slam.

Draper needs to do more with these powderpuff serves from Nadal, at least get into a rally and let Rafa hit an error.

I'm sorry but Nadal looks so run down here. How people think this guy still has multiple slams in him is simply beyond my understanding.
People have been saying that for years. Eventually, they'll be right I guess.

His whole MO his entire career is look run down from July to March and then turn it on for clay season. He did it in 2018-19, 2021-22, and I don’t see why he can’t do it now

No sane fan of Nadal thinks he has multiple slams left. Perhaps one at the French open. But even that is looking like a very big ask at this time.

One more RG is possible. I won't rule it out. Anything more and I'd be surprised. He looks like a guy on his last legs, unlike Djokovic.
