RG SF - Nadal/Djokovic

[Front242]

He's already using the drop shot and it cost him.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

After all these years, how can Novak’s overhead *still* be so bad?

It is because he had years of practice.

 

[tented]

Novak already broken after two long games.

Then Rafa holds at love. Wow.

 

[Front242]

Well that's about 5 droppers from Djoke and we're only in the 2nd game

Yup, his strategy sucks.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

That looks like an auspicious start. I can still hear Novak saying Rafa is beatable.

 

[napo]

Novak already broken after two long games.

Business as usual. He had 2 BP, had 40:15 on his serve and is now 0:3 . What else to say.

omg not another bagel

 

[tented]

Yup, his strategy sucks.

He already seems rattled too.

 

[tented]

omg not another bagel

OMG, hopefully another bagel!

 

[Front242]

He already seems rattled too.

Score to beat from his performance last year is on his mind (7 games) and beating Diego's 13 games will be tough I kid you not!

 

[napo]

After losing the first two games, Novak a complete different player now.
Nothing is working.

 

[Front242]

Novak is almost slower than Nadal with all the ball bouncing back to it's very best/worst.

You maybe right about the 13 games. I thought Novak would make it more competitive than this. But it’s still early.

Losing 6-4 6-4 6-4 is only 12 games and he's nowhere near 4 games this set.

I think he wanted that. He was poised to break in the first game. When that didn't happen, he lost focus on holding his own serve. Had he broken, this would be a different contest.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Ok folks. I will come back for the last rites at the end.

 

[Front242]

Don't blame you. You're not missing much.

 

[don_fabio]

Novak has serious confidence issues since he lost the first game.

Corrected it for you

 

[napo]

Novak has serious confidence issues since he lost the first game.

This weakness he is showing too often.
