French Open Semi Finals: Nadal -950 over Federer +600

[navyblue81]

Federer could probably win easily at RG against any other player except Nadal & Djokovic. He plays some nice tennis on clay, but Nadal is THE KING at RG.

He’d have a rough time with Thiem as well, along with some other guys right now. Maybe not as much in his prime. But I think Thiem would push him around, too.

As expected not even close

After the fact army circling the wagon

I called this well before the fact.

Nadal toughest match will be Thiem if he wins

Only guys that Nadal is worried of on clay because of pretty good success vs him

[homie1975]

bettors who backed Fed in any way whether ML or + games, etc, PLEASE SIT DOWN.

thank you.

Either of these guys will give Nadal a good match, but I do agree that if Thiem plays to his potential (which he didn’t last year), he can beat Nadal. I think he was intimidated and overwhelmed in the moment last year. This year he wouldn’t be.

What did joker do in that rain break totally different guy playing

He put his temper aside and started to play the conditions instead of letting the conditions play him.

[jjgold]

Now a battle
What a fierce competitor

[homie1975]

What did joker do in that rain break totally different guy playing

rain breaks almost ALWAYS favor the player who was struggling prior to said break.

look it up.

one year Pavyracer argued with me about this, then when he saw it happen with his own eyes, he apologized to me LOL

[navyblue81]

Would be cool to see a Novak-Rafa final just for the fact that one guy is wearing the same color shirt as the tennis ball and the other the same color shirt as the court.

[thomorino]

Thiem is good but he hasn't beaten to players at majors before and Nadal is playing the best he's played all year, the delayed Thiem-Djokavic match helps nadal too.

[CanuckG]

Thiem is going to battle

Federer is a shadow of himself. He just quit against Nadal. The books got away like bandits with every square betting plus money on Federer.

6th time Rafa has run him off the court at the french.

one year, Fed lost the final set 6-0, it think it was 07 or 08. he ABSOLUTELY quit in that final set that year. it was obvious. if Fed ever gets bagled in a set, especially in a final at a slam, then he absolutely quit

Is quitting what you call it when one player is that much better than you on a surface? Geez....just give credit to Rafa. He’s that good.

[thomorino]

Nadal is playing great but he's had an easy path too, there is a reason Federer hasn't played the French open the last several years, its a very tough surface on older players.

back in 07 or 08 in the french final, Fed lost the last set 6-0. he quit that day. trust me. i have been watching him play since he beat Sampras at Wimbledon in 2001 or so. i know his body language. he RARELY quits but that french sometimes he has quit in the final stanza when Rafa was up 2-0 in sets or 2-1. He has. trust me man. he does not get bagled in a set unless he has quit.

Well when you realize you brought everything you got and you are still getting stampeded, I guess that’s what happens sometimes. You just throw your hands up, concede and go through the motions. While it’s not right to quit, I can see how it can happen against Nadal in the later stages of a match.

Now Monfils....there’s a guy who quits often. Krygios is going down that same path.

Fed played well
Nadal too good

yup, and it was 2008

Runner-up: Roger Federer


Champion: Rafael Nadal


Final score: 6–1, 6–3, 6–0


This after Fed had lost in final in 05, 06, and 07 at the french. in 08 he gets run out 1 and 3 in the first two sets and just quit in that third set.

[navyblue81]

Nadal has benefited from playing in the first wave. Sunday will be his third match in 6 days. Not to mention he didn’t break a sweat in any set. Compare that to Thiem/Djoker who will be playing four straight days, and who knows what toll this match will play on them when all is said and done. So no matter who Rafa faces, he’s going to be by and away more fresh.

Nadal can beat those two very easily. The real test was today with Federer.

Not sure I would call today a real test.
Federer not as good as Djoker or Thiem on this surface. Nadal will be more rested but will be tested much more in final.

No Sir. Joker/Thiem winner will be a tougher test for him than Fed was today.
