And Djokovic breaks, some decent returns in this game plus some gifts from Nadal and some missed 1st serves. Can Djokovic win the set now?

 

[Ralph]

Go Novak!!!!

 

[babbette]

Ughhhh Rafa, can we not?!

exactly. wrap this up in this set hombre

 

[fedtastic]

Nadal was lucky djokovic was just warming up in the first set.

The real king is back now and Rafa is doomed

 

[Outbeyond]

Good on Djoker. But Rafa's been there, done that.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Lol @ that lob

 

[nadalbestclass]

Return favor porfavor Rafa!!

 

[Ralph]

exactly. wrap this up in this set hombre

I still doubt it, though glad Novak broke.

 

[Semi-Pro]

WTH was that novak LOL

 

[OLYMPICLEGEND]

Best backhand passer of all-time Nadal :evil:

 

[MichaelNadal]

See, never get ahead of yourself with Rafa.

 

[flyinghippos101]

I think Koenig came when Nadal hit that passing shot

 

[FlamEnemY]

S&V... interesting.

 

[fedtastic]

Hold here Novak, Rafa can't serve for sh*t at the moment

 

[Ralph]

Novak lucky there, he was rattled at 0-30.

 

[Semi-Pro]

S&V... interesting.

Never heard of it...

 

[Hood_Man]

Oh wake up Novak...

This is reminding of the 2010 US Open. As likely as it was that Novak can break Rafa, it always feels more likely that Rafa will break right back.

Let's take this to a third at least.

I think Koenig came when Nadal hit that passing shot

LLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL

 

[MichaelNadal]

Novak is PISSED

 

[FlamEnemY]

Never heard of it...

Neither did Djokovic.

 

[rommil]

Nadal vs Bartoli would have been more exciting

 

[babbette]

rafa shoulda made that shot!

 

[fedtastic]

Djoker you imbecile, hold

 

[QueenSeles]

LOLLLLLLLLL, what a loserrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Magnus]

How surprisng, a Novak DF on break point.

 

[ernestsgulbisfan#1]

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Outbeyond]

Pretty simple breakback. :twisted:

 

[Bud]

Wow.. Novak hands back the break with a DF

The commentators calling this a high quality match. lol

Are they watching the same freakin match?!

 

[fedtastic]

wow wow OMG, nice gift there Novak. well done

 

[MichaelNadal]

Back on serve. Bamos.

 

[Ralph]

Pathetic.

10 x pathetic.

 

[Semi-Pro]

LOL whata joke, Novak deserves to lose..

 

[powerangle]

lol that break can be seen from a mile away.

 

[OLYMPICLEGEND]

LOL no number one ranking for you :evil:

 

[Underhand]

Đoković is a mental midget.™

 

[fedtastic]

rafa shoulda made that shot!

He ain't no Roger :twisted:

 

[ernestsgulbisfan#1]

Okay, Gafa, make a first serve......

 

[Tony48]

Can't put a 2nd serve in play, double faults on break point (and can't consolidate any breaks)

 

[SirGounder]

I'd really love to see this go to 3 sets as well.

Djokovic doesn't get enough on this forehand. Nadal has really been awesome at consistently hitting deep shots this tournament.

 

[OLYMPICLEGEND]

He ain't no Roger :twisted:

Thank god for that :lol:

 

[babbette]

doesn't rafa give you a headache novak? word is you should be able to beat him easily but uh oh hardly ever comes to pass:twisted:

 

[Bud]

The first set was decent but this is just atrocious

 

[dlk]

Novak's had his chances. Do you all believe his mental composition let him down? Or just coincidence?

 

[pound cat]

Okay, Gafa, make a first serve......

Ramos Gafa...to quote a couple of recent posts

 

[fedtastic]

Thank god for that :lol:

yeah thank God indeed.

 

[babbette]

He ain't no Roger :twisted:

You're right. He doesn't get beaten easily by novak. 8)

 

[nadalbestclass]

plz dun tell me this will be some breakfest. Come on Rafa!

 

[bolo]

lol. I loved how nadal's face didn't change at all while novak bounced the ball 25 times before that 2nd serve. Vamos.
