The result makes the showdown in Paris a lot more interesting now. Which is good from a storytelling perspective. :)
Right. Djokovic winning everything from the beginning of the year is VERY interesting. What can make it even more interesting? Oh, right, him winning ANOTHER title, especially with arguably the weakest masters draw of all time. :unsure:

Yeah obviously I'd rather he have won Rome, but the FO seems like a must-see thing with a lot of questions going in. I even expect Zverev to be really dangerous too.

Djokovic looks far from unbeatable lol, calm down. If he wins Rome, what's the tragedy?
Hmm, let's see...He lost only ONE match from the beginning of the year, and this was only because of a DQ, otherwise he was probably winning USO as well. And now right after that he wins Rome. A player who didn't lose a single full match from the beginning of the year is not unbeatable? I have no idea what unbeatable means then.

For a neutral spectator it is certainly better to have more questions going in for sure.

After seeing him win 19 majors I can’t be arsed to give a damn about the losses anymore. Especially after this year we’re in.

Honestly, I'm not in the slightest bit worried about Nadal facing Djokovic on clay this season. I actually want Nadal to play Novak in the finals of Rome and RG, because it's the perfect opportunity for Rafa to start getting their overall H2H back on par.

People need to face reality. As scary as Djokovic can look on other surfaces, he hasn't got anything that can really worry Rafa on clay anymore.

Well, maybe in RG we will get it...Novak is in Rome final, but no Rafa in sight.

The Rome match was in the evening and very humid.

Paris is at a slightly more northern latitude + RG will be slightly later in the year (meaning less sunlight) and the temperature isn't expected to get above 22 degrees C the entire tournament. At least at the moment.

Not to mention rain and the roof.
