Yea, but the I only time I've seen Rafa pushed (apart from his one defeat) at RG was by Nole in that semi-final in 2012. Hoping for another classic. Would love to see Nole win.

Nadal will steamroll Djokovic just like he did to Murray last night. The Spaniard's Roland Garros record is eye popping o_O
He's just been fortunate so far, never had any "REAL" clay player against him to compete. He was challenged by just RF in those 2006+ era, other than him, nobody else gave him that tough time. But I see Djokovic the only guy atm who could just sideline him this time.

Nah, this is going to be Djoker's year.

He is in incredible form. His serving is just on a different planet right now. His return of serve is incredible. Nadal has shown he is vulnerable on his serve in the matches he's played in this tournament, and he's going to get no change out of the Djoker serve.

Djoker to win in straight sets.

The Women's final is a lot more 50-50. I would love to see Halep win it.

And that is Sharapova's fifth Grand Slam title. I didn't watch the match but the scoreline suggests it was evenly contested.

The Men's final is underway and it's quite excellent so far. Djokovic is heating up and he's already one set up in the match.

Fucking idiots, the French Open crowd. You shouldn't be doing that between 1st and 2nd serves, let alone on match point.

Anyway, Nadal is tied with Sampras now with 14th GSs. Incredible.

Incredible indeed. Nadal has won every French Open title he participated in apart from 2009.

Has any other tennis player ever dominated a particular tournament this much? I doubt any other player in history has won a particular Grand Slam nine times.

Rafael Nadal leads Novak Djokovic 3-6 7-5 6-2 6-4

I have to say I am surprised. I did not see this coming. I thought Djoker would dominate Nadal, and he did in the first set, but then disappeared. I think it was physical tiredness as well as mental itiredness.

Djokovic has only won one of the last five Grand Slam finals he has competed in.

That is a crazy statistic. His game is far and beyond anyone, but I think mentally, he needs to go back to 2010, the year when he won almost everything going.

To be honest it's not even funny anymore. Nadal fit in a French Open? Nadal wins.

Nadal has won a grand slam in every year, Since the last ten years of his career, the match commentator was saying,
What an Athlete and a champ he is. A true Matador !

I'd say serving first in a set is a HUGE advantage. Djokovic was BACK in the game in the 4th, Nadal had no break, one double fault (Thanks to that crowd) and goes away the match. Djokovic was immensely frustrated to say the least, the moment his second serve was called OUT, he thumbs-uped the crowd from where those noises were coming.

The next target of ATP should be sound proof courts. They should really do it now.

I won't say Djoker played bad, but he was not at his best at all. If today it's Djokovic v/s Nadal again, I'd still go with Djokovic. Really bad luck.

Wimbledon has started. My favourite tournament.

Nole and Murray share the top half, while Rafa and Roger share the bottom half.

My favourites to win this is Roger or Nole.

First time after 1992 an unseeded player beats a world no.1 . A great legacy set by Mr.Nadal. Calling out all the nadal fans x)

Haha Murray! :laugh1: Bulgarian Dimitrovic defeats the Scot in straight sets 6-1 7-6 6-2.

Federer and Djokovic are going down as well.
