2022 Roland Garros Men's Quarterfinals: Novak Djokovic vs. Rafael Nadal

[Sundaymorningguy]

All tied up a set a piece. These two are definitely throwing everything at each other.

He will rue the day he let that doub break lead go. This could very well end up like last year.

Novak's returns are starting to become a big problem for Rafa and he increased pace on his shots on both sides plus the serve is clicking now.

Rafa need to move more with those legs.

0-40 and Nads breaks early in the 3rd. But as we've seen w/ these 2, an early break means nothing. It's how you finish, no? LOL

Well Novak's proved that means lit'l to nothing by taking the 2nd set down 2 brks! That's the edge he has over Rafa; great service returns!

What would this rivalry be if we didn't have a bricked Djoke OH every time.

...and inconvenient double faults from Rafa to help in the cause; not to mention easy volleys tanked into the net!

 

[don_fabio]

novak loses a momentum to break back and suffers another break out of nowhere. I don't think he will waste energy to come back this set, but let's see.

So I'm sure Zed has his feet up w/ the popcorn watching this and saying to himself, "He whips me, he whips me not"

 

[kskate2]

WTH! Nads just borrowed Djoke's OH. Duh!

 

[Jelenafan]

Un set mas Rafa….

Vamos!!!

Looks like this crowd will be as obnoxious as those 2019 Wimbledon crowds for Fed! Hope we get the same result; Rafa losing a heartbreaker!

The ebbs and flow of this match.

this break was long time coming. Novak is looking weak from the baseline at the moment.

He's only been playing for a couple months! He isn't sharp that's for sure! He's just missing those backhands by inches!

 

[don_fabio]

Novak regroups. Will have a TB drama to play at least.

 

[kskate2]

We just reached the 4 hour mark and we will have a 4th set TB

 

[kskate2]

First mini to Nads 1-0. Let's see how many twists and turns we get

 

[Moxie]

I am able to watch a bit now. TB!! ¡Vamos, Rafa!

 

[kskate2]

Nads holds both serves 3-0

Djoke is going too much to Nads FH just like Carlito went too much to Zed's BH
