Really? Nadal/Fed

Take another look a.m jjgold.

[ApricotSinner32]

You need some coffee coach

[Bbr]

Nadal ml for me

[Mikail]

No way Fed wins this match.

Their needs to be open casting for a new A.M jjgold.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Nadal ml for me

agreed

[jjgold]

JOKER

Typo

As of now slight lean Nadal

[MCherry281]

Djokovic for me and I think he takes it in straight sets. I feel pretty confident about it.

[GoBlue77]

joker has owned nadal, love nadal in this spot. straight sets lol. i'll bet you 1000 sbr points on that right now?

[jjgold]

I think it is raining

Delay

[kingsr]

Why is nadal fav in this match? Shouldn't it be closer to pk?

The heavier ground from previous rain will favor nadal*

[BET THE HOOK]

I really like Djokovic in this match. Time for the Nadal train to stop.

[MUHerd37]

It's supposed to rain all night in Rome. Then 70% chance of rain tomorrow and 90% chance of rain Tuesday. Not good.

[ParlayininHTown]

No sense in playing the match if the weather won't allow it ... Just let them do battle in France.

He beat him in straight sets both times last year. I don't think it's that unlikely. Nadal isn't exactly playing at his highest level lately. He struggled mightily with Ferrer and was so lucky to win that first set. Djokovic went out and rolled red hot Federer. He's only the dog because of the Monte Carlo blowout but I put little stock in that due to the situation with his grandfather. Djokovic is out for revenge and will get it!

[jjgold]

I think still delay

Anyone know?

[BET THE HOOK]

I just read a thread on tennis.com that said the players were just asked to inspect the game balls etc. I think they are gonna try to play this match.

[makman]

Joker MLwas my prediction, but these unpredictable weather situation will favor Nadal.

[Nick Papageorgio]

Not sure if they will play today, been raining all day.

[Nick Papageorgio]

Rain just stopped, lets hope it will stay away. Been up all night watching Rome live cams, fking hammered pals. Got my acct on djoker , other than 1.5 units on rangers series.

[GunShard]

Djokovic plays poorly on clay surface. His biggest weakness.

Anyone know if this event is on clay surface?

I hope we get this off today mainly as I hate having unsettled bets....

Everything is on clay right now...

[Nick Papageorgio]

Herbie if they don't get it off today it will be canceled and no action as per the ATP rule book without a granted extention, which would be doubtful with the French nearing. Looks nice out so far, looks like we should have a 2 or 2.5 hr window to get this match in.

[jjgold]

Small lean on Nadal

[Nick Papageorgio]

ur done jj. Lots of rain slower court djoko more athletic, faster stronger is at the advantage.

[yisman]

I woke up early to try and place more bets, but the books closed betting at 6, even though this doesn't start until after 6:15.

[jjgold]

both look sharp early
going to be tight

[LVHerbie]

Weather looking good right now...

both look sharp early
going to be tight

I got a small bet on Djokovic and a much larger bet on over 22.5 so I'm rooting for a nice tight, lengthy match and would happily settle for a coin flip decision in the end to decide who wins it...

I didn't know how that worked so thanks for the info...

[jjgold]

Nadal getting tight now

Joker wants this set bad

[yisman]

Joker wants this set bad

You think?

[jjgold]

Joker is slightly better as of now

Better ground stokes

Yisman I use to hit balls against a wall

[yisman]
