Rafa will likely lose to Djoker in RG '13 SF

[TheNightHunter]

Just watched the replay of Monte Carlo 2013. Gotta hand it to the Djoker, he uses his BH to redirect Rafa's topspin FH at will and places it DTL or CC like its the easiest thing to do when all others struggle with it.

Of course Djoker may lose to Haas and/or Rafa may lose to Stan the man, but if it's a Djoker-Rafa SF, then Djoker doesn't have the pressure of a final, Rafa isn't playing as well as RG '12, so most likely Djoker will win.

If Rafa does however win then he indeed maybe the GOAT at, in his own words, "finding solutions to opponents".

Excellent post, simply explaining the facts.

Thanks for linking a video to all Djokovic's obnoxious celebrations in one place. Nadal nodded and shook his hand every time. Of course he's not going to give a 40 second handshake and light buddha candles at the net afterwards. With the way Djokovic is celebrating before the handshake in half of those, he's lucky Nadal did that.

Very good. Well put. And they still say that Nadal is not a good loser. Nadal is always correct at the end of matches when he loses (and when he wins). He is not exultant with joy after a loss, but who would be? And after having somebody celebrate in the manner Count Djokula does, I have to praise Nadal's ability to even shake his hand without vomiting.

What happened to the video you said was "ridonkulous"? Something about Murray? Didn't get to see it.
