As if that was ever in doubt. And there is zero doubt that if Nadal and Djokovic will meet in this "tournament", the match will again be played late at night, at the most perfect conditions for Djokovic. The organizers are his fanboys.

You mean the Novacques-Chocoviche Open?

You Nadal fans always have an excuse for whenever he loses at RG! Why can't any of you except that he can lose fair and square? :unsure: It's all so mindnumbingly tedious.

Excuse? The organizers COMPLETELY changed the conditions of the tournament and made them pretty much perfect for Djokovic. Starting from 2020 it isn't the same tournament anymore, it is a completely different one. Just like only a fool will say Madrid on indoor hardcourt (before 2009) and Madrid on clay (since 2009) are the same tournament.

Hold your horses everyone … the problem was never Nole getting into the country.

There is still a vaccination requirement to enter Roland Garros the facility under French law. This could be lifted but given Macron’s comments about pissing off the unvaccinated, it’s not a done deal…

LOL obviously there must be some reason Nadal loses RG. Nadal at RG or should I say Bo5 clay is literally the most unbeatable tennis player and people will try to find some reason as to why such a dominant player lost.

What is RG? I only know the event in Paris called the Chocoviche Open which has started from 2020. See the one I quoted here for more infos.

Sensible decision. Pfizer has just declared its trial data - it has 9 pages of side effects. Such a dangerous crap shouldn't be forced on any one. Djokovic will emerge as champion of freedom in the end. A true hero who fought against entire west for his principles. It cost him one slam but I've no doubt he will eventually come on top - it's just matter of time.

At over 35 years old, he will never again dominate Grand Slam tournaments like he did in the recent past.
That's for sure!

I agree. If you wanna say that Nadal wasn't playing at his best then that's one thing as I've already conceeded that he's unbeatable at his best at RG(although this still shouldn't take any credit away from Djokovic) but all these tedious injury excuses just comes across as so ungracious and undignified to me. He ultimately lost fair and square to the better player on the day and nothing anyone says will change that. And frankly the guy's already won 13 of them - I mean how greedy can Nadal fans get?! o_O

I’d like to see him get slapped in the face on HC vs Rafa when rafa is not injured or handicapped by some physical issue, each time he avoided Rafa when rafa is in great form on hc, we will see what happens at RG,

Yeah he is a proven criminal now, any other serbian would have served 3yrs in prison, just becaz serbian president likes to be his lapdog and the millionaire went unpunished does not mean djoko’s criminal activities are erased, the wmorld will call a ‘criminal’ - a criminal. Get used to it and plz this topic has been discussed widely here and proven beyond doubt by credible news outlets. Just google it, thanks.

Yeah I'll believe it when I see it. Only prominent figure of ATP unvaccinated is Novak and certain countries can still find a way to target him.

Hahahahaha how quick people forget! It's Rafael f***ing Nadal! The guy has 13 SLAMS THERE ALONE and beat Novak many times there!

Also, Novak might lose early on just like that with the coach change ...etc. He was already not good in the US Open!

Joker at 35 will no longer be the same as last year. Not even close!
There is a 50% chance that the Serb will not reach the RG semi-finals this time.

Novak has a good chance to win RG 2022. Imagine a Novak vs Nadal SF RG 2022 -- that would be a big big match.
Nadal is the favorite, but unless he is physically 100% - Novak could beat him.
