    Gamesmanship.

    When Tito Trinidad was in trouble in a fight back in the day, he'd hit a dude in the nuts to buy some time.

    Novak does this figuratively when he takes injury tineouts.

    It changes momentum.

            Joker seems to try really too hard to be liked but it backfires and hes a prick.Nadal just grinds and is respectful and then waits for the results.Fed is just all class plain and simple.

                It will be tough whoever he plays

                The young guys are real good and ready

                Joker much more of a killer than Fed why some do not like him

                              Yup The Joker will be at #18 after Sunday unless The Russian or The Greek can step up big.

                                  You really think Joker can walk thru Med? I don't, in fact i think Med is the best player in the world as of right now, going to be a good finals either way.

                                        I didn't say he'd walk through Med or Tsit but either guy will have to step up big to win a best of 5 at this venue as Joker. The court is playing very fast which plays right into Jokers strength. He'll also have one full day of extra rest on his finals opponent.

                                          Either way going to be a good finals, i truly believe Med has passed Joker as the best player in the world and we are going to see that in tournament if he gets by Tsit, I think were going to see Med win 3 or 4 majors over the next 3 years, I think we got a glimps in the Finals last year when Med won handily over Joker 2-0, Now the French Open is Nadals for at least the next few years, though i think his game has fallen of quite a bit on hard court obv he is still a top 4 player on earth still.

                                            I love Med as well, but you're definitely jumping the gun here. Med doesn't even have a Grand Slam title yet. Djoker just recently put on some muscle and is getting way more aces than he ever used to. Going to have over 100 aces just in this tournament

                                              Gotta start somewhere, I don't think i am, we will be seeing Med in more finals in majors than Nadal moving forward, besides on clay obv. Med style is a problem for anyone to deal with, now the extra mph on jokers serve is good there are a ton of huge servers, Med is long and rangy and covers the court as well as anyone. I think we will be seeing a ton of Med vs Joker finals in the future, the head and shoulders top 2 players in the world as of right now. Could i be wrong of course.

                                                I agree that they're the top two players in the world right now. Just think it's going to be another couple years before Med overtakes Djoker. Like you said it will be great matchups between these two for years to come. Djoker is going to surpass Fed and Rafa in Slams eventually

                                                  I agree, Joker will eventually pass them, Don't think Fed can ever win another one, Nadal may have 1 or 2 more French Opens titles left in him. Joker is just another level above both of them now can't see that changing....father time has only lost once to Tom Brady.

Joker is just another level above both of them now can't see that changing....father time has only lost once to Tom Brady.

                                                      Djokovic is the GOAT for sure. Winning record against both Fed and Nadal. I think his career achievements are more impressive. More masters titles, Nadal has 0 atp world tour finals titles while Djokovic has 5. Djokovic 307 weeks as #1, Nadal 209 weeks. Djokovic 6 times year-end #1, Nadal 5 times.

French? i have CRUSHED my bets on Rafa v Fed and Rafa v Joker. UNDEFEATED over the years, something like 8-0 or 9-0 on my bets.

                                                                        Aussie, Wimby, US Open -- i am VERY careful picking against The Joker even when it is my boy Rafa playing him.

                                                                        it's about being objective. I am not touching this Final but if I did i would BET JOKER.
