    Novak Djokovic Favored Over Nadal To Win FO

    Not in the Tennis loop all the time, but why has Novak become favorite over Nadal? The King of clay courts and obviously the French Open.

    1. he hasn't lost a match in like 43 matches, on the sickest run in tennis history

    2. he cleaned up on Nadal just last week on the clay

    3. guy is full of confidence

    I still think Nadal advances further than Joker in this tournament, just a feeling I got. Nothing against Joker but I just don't see how he can keep it up much longer without a letdown.

    If anyone can beat Djokovic right now It'd be Nadal.

    This is a really tough match. Djokovic is beasting right now and he beat Nadal just a few weeks ago but I think Nadal is capable of winning.

    Nadal was favored pre-tournament, but Djokovic has been more impressive, so they've flopped.

    second sickest run in tennis history. i guess 47 is the all-time.

    hes playing so well right now and has already beaten nadal twice this year and the last 3 times they played eachother.

    his head is really in the right place right now and his skills are taking full advantage of that.

    #s wise yes, but even Johnny Mac himself said last week that Joker's run is far more impressive than his because of the level of competition, but yes you are right about it being the 2nd and not 1st at the moment.

    i agree with you guys then. i guess i was just thinking numerically....i dont know that much about many old school tennis players but the level of competition is pretty high right now at the top. its pretty amazing what hes doing.

    Joker is on fire, he will not stop until he reaches the #1 ranking, If someone will stop him, i think it will be someone other than Nadal. This year they faced 4 times in final, two on dirt, two on hard, and imo Joker toyed with Nadal in 4 of these final matches, dont pay attention to tie-breaks, and 2-1 games etc. Joker was controlling the game and his nerves all 4 meetings. This year i saw one time Joker in trouble, and it was the game in Rome against Murray...Nadal never made him sweat this year.

    PS:
    Nadal may make him sweat and even win in RG, if the game goes to 5 sets

    Djokovic would be even a bigger favorite if it wasn't for Nadal's reputation.

    When they meet in the final, Djokovic will be around -150 and he's a great bet.

    The great tennis players can't be #1 forever.

    The fall from grace happened to Federer and is happening to Nadal now as well.

    I think Federer is the only one this week that can beat Djokovic. Nadal does not look good as he uses to in the French Open.

    Because Fognini is out of the tourny. Big advantage with more rest for Djoko.

    Nadal was a slight fave when before any match play. I guess now that certain players have been eliminated and bookmakers/bettors have been able to observe both players form the odds have shifted. I think Nadal is playing scared and potentially a little injured. Would love to get the serb as a dog but might take a small piece as a fave should they meet up.

    Djokovic looked unbeatable vs Gasquet.

    Nadal has looked like crap ..... and has lost 4 times in a row to Djokovic (including two straight sets on clay).

    It's all about momentum plain and simple and Joker is "the man" right now hence his favouritism over Nadal..

    based on how Nadal is playing against ljubicic, don't see how Nadal can beat Nole. Though who knows, maybe he's saving his best stuff for "Mr. Invincible"
