This cost him the 2012 FO. He didn't show up for the match and just moped around like a bitch.

Out of first rain delay? Gets broken immediately.


Out of second rain delay overrnight he gets broken immediately.



He has the superior game, he is the better player..... but his lack of mental focus and determination to start the match and start up again... that cost him the trophy.


The good news is that Djoker is the superior player and superior talent cannot be denied. Djoker will win the next slam meeting between the two.... and the trend will continue

awfully easy to say this when they won't meet again on clay in a major for awhile.

Who will win the next meeting, noone may know, it depends on many factors. But there are some facts...

Djokovic is a far better player, with lots of weapons.

Nadal is a pussy, doing most of the time running around like defending bulldog. It helped him too much that the game completed in two days, i dont think he would have that top physical condition in yesterdays match during the fourth and a possible fifth set to run around all the time like a running dog, making impossible saves. He already showed signs of it, rain saved his ass.

IMO, best of Djokovic will always be superior to best of Nadal.

One more thing i have to say is to for these stupid French organizators. They had ****** this tournament, not the bad weather. Such a game should be started earlier knowing the weather forecast, and should be finished in one day. A grand slam, for men game is a test of duration and tennis skills played for best of 5 sets. Refreshed Nadal run around like a dog with his stupid high bouncing balls , and when he gets tired rain helps him

excellent post. absolutely nailed it.

the thing is, Djoker's time will come. Rafa couldn't break thru on grass at Wimbledon against Fed until the 3rd attempt... now if they meet ever again in Wimbeldon.. Roger is probably toast against Rafa. the same holds for Djoker on clay at FO vs Rafa

if Djoker/Rafa meet in 2013 FO ... Rafa should fall to Joker. on all other surfaces in a slam I'm afraid Rafa will get worse and worse against Djoker

o/c, Djoker has to stop his stupid non-preparation mentality. the match starts when it starts.. not after a certain number of games into the match

that cost him the 1st set, that set carried over to the 2nd set... and then he finally woke up and broke Nadal 4 times in a row.... and, lo and behold, the perfect stoppage in play that saved Rafa. start the next day and Djoker got broken like a bitch right out the gate and it was over...

you come ready... otherwise you'll simply come from behind
