    Considered taking the over and Joker +1.5 but went for it all...so glad I didn't take the over. I thought he would be exhausted which I am sure he was. Had it gone to a 3rd set who knows, but Joker winning the 1st set was HUGE! He made so mistakes and let Nadal back in that 2nd set. Both Nadal and Federer are still top tennis players but both are not currently at the top of there game. How can you not take Joker at plus $ these days.

    Nadal played pretty well again, I even think he is scratching his head.
    The only think I do not like is Nadal hitting too many looping shots and guys teeing off, he needs to hit deeper
    He seems to be playing not as aggressive when he plays DJo
    Would be unreal if they meet again in French finals

    I was expecting a jjgold post about how nadal is done and how he cannot compete with the good players anymore (he once made a thread like that about Federer).

    Nadal has a great attitude in all of this

    I think he knows it cannot continue and as long as he plays well he will win many titles in future

    Djokovic was great again. Will be really interesting to see what happens with them in a 5 set match.

    Nadal right now could never beat him on any surface

    Dojokovic is playing better than ever and better than most even past greats.

    What a zone

    I guess that rafa curently don't playing his best level specialy on clay! I expected his improvement through this four finals vs nole but this didn't happen! And opposite He was beaten always easier then match before! Now is clear that novak is fully resolved his health and stamina issues, period
    Best of five rule can only favor better and stronger player at this moment! Someone guess after all that this is nadal?

    Something is wrong with Nadal. Djokovic is doing great, but he ain't beating Nadal on form on clay great. Nadal is still beating everyone else and reaching finals though. So, perhaps I'm just a hater. But this is not making sense. Djokovic is NOT this good.

    Everytime I watch Nadal-Djokovic, it's like Nadal can't hit the ball hard enough for winners, as Djokovic is like some turbo-charged David Ferrer defensively. Yet, when I watch Djokovic against other guys, his defense is real good, but not as good as it is versus Nadal. Perhaps Nadal just isn't the ball as well and it's enabling Djokovic to get it back in play.

    One thing too about Nadal that amazes me is he's a top player without a great serve. I rarely see him get cheap points on his serve, so holding serve against Novak becomes an issue.

    I could see Nadal losing to Big Dick Raonic during hard court season.

    Nadal isn't really sinking as much as Djokovic has surpassed him. Rafa is still the second best player in the world.

    The whole thing is strange, Nadal beats everyone on clay although I have noticed more guys getting more games off him this year. I do not like the way he plays against Joker, way too many short looping shots and Joker pounds the corners with them, secondly Nadal hitting ball right back at Joker way too much. He needs to adjust. Lets not kid ourselves Joker is a fukkin monster right now.

    There's a new king in town, it's pretty obvious now. A freakin beast. Djoko worked so hard at his physical shape and morale both, it's certainly not the Djoker I remember.

    Both played well. Between them they will clean up this year. Djok is on top form but don't write off Nadal just yet.

    only thing I find odd is that nadal is able to do less against joker on clay than hardcourt.
