First week is going perfectly to plan, Nadal in no danger of losing while hitting enough balls to find a high level on grass in time for the Final

I do want to see Rafa win Wimb and then reach the USO F.
He's already passed Fed, so might as well go all in.
Everything looks realistic till you get kick in your arse.
Actually I'm guilty of underestimating NadalYoure lucky this trolling has worked so far this year lol. I hope you still get to next week![]()
Yes, considering Djokovic has won only ONE of their last SIX clay meetings, I do feel kind of stupid predicting Djokovic to win this. But being stupid is fun![]()
Nadal has a colossal mental edge over anyone he plays at Roland Garros, so I'm quite certain Nadal will beat Alcaraz in the SF, but I think Djokovic will beat Nadal
If Nadal beats Djokovic then it means Nadal is no longer making the uncharacteristic errors that have plagued him recently. But I'm assuming those errors will continue.....
Even though Felix played way better than Diego, and even though Djokovic played very passively, I predict Djokovic will beat Nadal.
Nadal was very error-prone today and he's usually playing cleaner tennis before beating Djokovic.
But I tend to underestimate Nadal, so maybe I'm wrong![]()
This is the end of Djokovic's life if he loses this, the Slam Record will belong to Nadal for probably a few decades, and given their obsession with records the entire Djokovic family AND Goran will only live in disgrace
But don't worry, I'm sure Djokovic WILL WIN.
Even though I don't think Nadal will win, and I predict a Djokovic victory, I just hope we see another 5-0 start (2020RG Nadal won the 1st Set 6-0, and 2021RG Nadal led 5-0 in the 1st Set), because that is a tremendous experience and will give me the thrill of Nadal appearing to be the victor![]()
The stats indicate Djokovic is in worse form than Nadal.
Djokovic = 29 winners, 31 unforced errors in 3 sets.
Nadal = 44 winners, 41 unforced errors in 5 sets.
But I actually saw both matches, and I didn't get that impression at all.
I'm going to trust the eyes, and the eyes say Djokovic wins![]()

Moya should know better. That type of talk, even though rational and within reason, tends to always be the kiss of the death. Like a commentator talking how strong someones serve is then they double fault.
Honestly, why should Djokovic have been the favourite at RG this year? Only because he beat a hampered Nadal last year? All this was rather absurd, because nothing Djokovic did before in 2022 showed that he's even fit enough to have a chance. In Belgrade he even physically struggled in 3rd sets.Would be interesting to see the link where he predicted or was confident of a nadal win over Djokovic at rg. Very few if any did.
I swear you have predicted Nadal to get decimated by Medvedev at AO and also by Djokovic at RG this year but both times Nadal found a way to win. Nadal's mental game this year has been top notch. He has getting out of precarious positions all yearEverything looks realistic till you get kick in your arse.

It wasn't his fault, he was undeservedly banned from many tournaments and that will likely have hurt his fitness. But as it was in May, Djokovic was surely not the favourite against Nadal at RG.
Even now I don't fully trust his fitness if he has to play the full distance against for example Alcaraz or again Nadal himself.
That’s because Nadal and Djokovic and the number 1 and 2 best players of all time, as proven by the amount of wins they have against fellow ATGs, their longevity and consistency.
Federer had his time in the sun, when an extraordinary piece of fortunate allowed him to mop up slams post Sampras and pre Nadal/Djokovic fully maturing, with virtually no ATG opponents, just your Roddicks your Hewitts your Bagdhatis.
He did well to vulture additional slams in 2009 without Nadal there and in 2017-2018 without Djokovic (he had lost 3 slams to both players within the previous year). He was the ultimate flat track bully but has his place in the top 10 ATGs.

I beg to differ. It is the highest level I’ve seen from Rafa in many years - he is more offensive and it is very effective as he is looking like the best player in the world. He shocked Novak with his unusually offensive mindset at the FO. His level on grass will be closer to Novak and title-winning potential than ever before since 2010.Medvedev almost did it. It's not mental game but his luck has been extraordinary this time. The level he has shown in last two Slams wasn't impressive at all. Even in this pathetic vacuum era - I don't see him winning remaining two Slams.
Can you tell me how he got lucky against Med?Medvedev almost did it. It's not mental game but his luck has been extraordinary this time. The level he has shown in last two Slams wasn't impressive at all. Even in this pathetic vacuum era - I don't see him winning remaining two Slams.

Med ran out of gas. He had pretty rough draw.

Easily, In 2020, it was cool Fall conditions where he ran around, played defense and no one could hit through him. This year, he took the racquet out of Djokovic’s hands with power and the anti-science fool was the only opponent he had to worry about on clay as the likes of Alcaraz, Tsitsipas and Zverev got upset or injured.Are you arguing that this Nadal is better than 2020 FO Nadal?
Lol, Nadal just magically winning slams huh?![]()
Djokovic was thrown out of Aus for political reasons. It's why Nadal won it. Otherwise I have no doubt Djokovic would beat him in straights. Even Med almost did. With little bit of luck on BPs - he would beat Nadal in straights.

You wil keep acting like we are witnessing peak Nadal till he receives giant Kick in his arse. After that you will suddenly remember he is 36 yo and he has heavily declined.
Djoko was thrown out of Australia because he did not meet the requirements for entry into the country. The medical exemption from vaccination he presented to the border officials was based on an invalid reason.Djokovic was thrown out of Aus for political reasons. It's why Nadal won it. Otherwise I have no doubt Djokovic would beat him in straights. Even Med almost did. With little bit of luck on BPs - he would beat Nadal in straights.
2022 is the mentally strongest version of Nadal we've ever seen, and may be the mentally strongest player in the history of tennis - we'll decide after this year's US OpenYou wil keep acting like we are witnessing peak Nadal till he receives giant Kick in his arse. After that you will suddenly remember he is 36 yo and he has heavily declined.
Djoko fans always pretended that Meddy was not the same guy who blew the serb off the court denying CYGS before.Gimme that big cope energy to power my morning

Shanghai was a bigger floggingAs a Rafa fan I know that the better Rafa goes in these later years, the better it makes Federer look.
Fed was scary good against Rafa in those late career matches between the two of them especially IW 2017 where Federer was on another planet for most of that match and WI 2019.
Nadal did not play a great match in that semifinal, tactically he did not do well and the Spaniard played conservatively, allowing his rival to play aggressively, which is essential on this type of surface.As a Rafa fan I know that the better Rafa goes in these later years, the better it makes Federer look.

Just waiting for Beckerserve's 100th alt to explain how Nadal did better this season than Djokovic in 2021I recall TTW making fun of Goran for much less. Lol, so much delusion at the time
lol at focusing on the bump instead of the content of the threadHow did I know that it was the bot brigade who bumped this thread without having to look![]()
Dude, you’ve been hardcore trolling since the AO and you know itlol at focusing on the bump instead of the content of the thread![]()
Welcome to TTW! You are going to love it hereDude, you’ve been hardcore trolling since the AO and you know it![]()
Just saying you used to be one of the better Joker fans. I and many others thought you were better than this Gabe. Sad.Welcome to TTW! You are going to love it here
Well, in my defense I’ve mainly gone after those trolling Novak. Since the AO close to 20 different posters have come to the Novak News thread to troll and their comments were deleted by mods. Over and over again. Many were asked nicely to leave and kept trolling. Every single one of them a Nadal fan. I don’t think the Nadal news thread went through anything like this.Just saying you used to be one of the better Joker fans. I and many others thought you were better than this Gabe. Sad.
Those are two absolute pusher shots from Medvedev. Nadal gave it the treatment it deserved.Gimme that big cope energy to power my morning

So your response is to sink to their level or even go lower? Earlier in the year you were in basically every Nadal match thread mocking his injuries. Does that make you any better than them? If the mods came in and deleted those post in the Novak New thread doesn’t that mean they did their job? And there have been plenty of incidents where Maestronians or ********* come into the Nadal News thread calling him a doper, cheater, and a faker when it comes to his injuries.Well, in my defense I’ve mainly gone after those trolling Novak.

As for this thread several Nadal fans have almost obsessively posted threads making fun of Novak or members of his team For much less than what Moya said.
so we sit back and enjoy it!
hmm… I don’t think I mocked Nadal’s injuries. Or at least that wasn‘t my intention. I did mock those posters that every time Nadal loses claim it’s because of injuries. Not the same thing.So your response is to sink to their level or even go lower? Earlier in the year you were in basically every Nadal match thread mocking his injuries.

And what Moya said was technically true. He won the 1st 2 schlems of the year. which means that the CYGS was a possibility. Regarding your earlier post in this thread Goran has said far more outlandish things. Chiefly among those was that “Nadal has no chance” in an RG F of all places. Joker was then handed the biggest GS F beatdown of his career.
Where was the delusion? An ATG who has won the first two slams of the season should always be setting their sights on the Grand Slam.I recall TTW making fun of Goran for much less. Lol, so much delusion at the time
In his best years Nadal never came close to a CYGS and his record at Wimbledon is not particularly good. For much less Novak and his team were repeatedly made fun of. Such is lifeWhere was the delusion? An ATG who has won the first two slams of the season should always be setting their sights on the Grand Slam.
