The Djokodal Masters Race - Is this race still on or unofficially over?

Ever had a cracked rib?

Ever had a congenital Müller-Weiss Syndrome?

Ever had debilitating mononucleosis?

Ever had a banana stuck in your throat?

Even breathing with a cracked rib is hard. I doubt that story very much.

Even breathing with a cracked rib is hard. I doubt that story very much.

I have doubted very many things about the injury record and career of Rafael Nadal, but like many things, you have to see it to believe it. And we certainly have seen continuous miracles from him and a certain Serb these past 20 years. Plus, it was probably just a small stress fracture. Do you really believe a total mug like Taylor Fritz would be straight setting a non-crapola Nadal?

 

[Sudacafan]

Nadal could easily win MC and Rome this year. And next year too if he plays.

I don’t think so.

 

[Sudacafan]

Ever had a congenital Müller-Weiss Syndrome?

Ever had debilitating mononucleosis?

Ever had a banana stuck in your throat?

One of those three statements needs to be emphatically reported.

Fritz is a Top-5 player now. Total mug?

So who isn't a mug? Djokodal and that's it?

[MichaelNadal]

Nadal and his fans don't care about masters any more.

Actually I care very much about masters, idk why Ultronians insist on speaking for every fanbase.

 

[RF-18]

Djokovic suddenly started caring about everything recently, including 250 and 500 tournaments.

Salty?

 

[joekapa]

It all depends what the Bull does this clay season. But even if he manages to catch up, Djokovic still has a few masters in the bag imho.

 

[Lgoel]

The race is over. Not because they cannot win anymore. But because Nadal and Djokovic dont really care at this point. They have won enough and. Nadal can be 2 behind Djokovic , or 2 ahead , it's one and same to me. Unless Nadal wins the tournament he hasn't win till date, that will add a feather in his cap

 

[TheFifthSet]

If there were betting odds I’d have Djoko as a -1100 favourite here.

 

[tennis_error]

I don't think they care too much about this race. It's all about slams for them at this point.

I think they do care, but not even close to slam race... Isn't it great to be mentioned at least 9 times every year, during currently occuring editions, as masters record holder? Off course slams are first in their mind and they won't put in danger their preparation for winning masters... I think that Nadal also know that Novak would always put extra effort to win few if needed to stay in front...

Because he can, to annoy you and similar... Hope he will pill up enough of those to get 110... He can afford this because he has the most big titles anyway... Lol...

Of course they care,prestige &ranking pts wise Masters are right behind GS&ATP finals Sure they won't go to win at all costs , but to say they don't care is ridic.

 

[Djokodalerer31]

Nadal will be lucky to win ATP500 from now on, let alone another masters! LOL In his conditions i would already think of planning my retirement...Novak on another hand can get 40 this year alone and maybe get like another 5 or 6 until reminder of his career!

 

[CoolCoolCool]

Is likely over

What it tell us?

 

[Hitman]

Yeah, this race is over now for sure.

 

[Djokodalerer31]

Yeah, this race is over now for sure.

I was so spot on with my assertion on February 23rd! Haha it feels so good to be right...not sure about 5 or 6 more masters though, i might have exaggerated that part a little hehe...
