Djokovic/Nadal in match thread

[The Giant]

The boys are constrained, way too much side to side action to allow them their freedom.

Yeah, I guess you're right, but it seems like it would help female viewership if they were allowed to roam.

Hell, even I would watch more closely, and I am heterosexual to the max. But I'm sure you've already gathered that, FourLengthsClear.

[Nats' Fan]

Imagine that. Fuken Nadal.

nadal needs to break here

[yisman]

going to bed now... obvious Nadal is taking it 3-0 or 3-1, none of which matches my wagers. at least i'll be able to get up by noon

i need to learn that live betting is preferable in tennis, as it's fairly obvious who came out to play and who didn't within the first set or two.

Yep, he posts that just before Djokovic goes up a break on Nadal.

But remember everyone, the match is already over!

[LVHerbie]

Take it fwiw, although I put a bit more faith in him than some of these other crackpot announcers, but Hewitt was saying in the first that you can see Djoko is trying to be more of a blank slate in this match than in the previous ones. Composing his face between pts and not looking at his box. He also noted how Nadal is keen to always look at the replays on the big screen to check for signs of weakness in his opponent and you'd think Djoko's team would've pointed that to him so he's aware of it if he was somehow oblivious to it before. Nadal won't give an inch... you'd never see him huddled over on the court like Djoko. Even during the Ferrer match last year he looked better off than Djoko vs Murray. So we'll see I guess. I actually don't think Djoko is struggling physically. It's just taking him a bit of time to find his rhythm and Nadal is playing exceptionally well on key pts. Wouldn't be surprised to see Djoko win this set.

More of this please so I can turn off the sound on my tv

Thanks, secretstash!

I've only been here about a week, and I'm still trying to understand the ins and outs.

Take care, and sweet dreams.

Go Go nadal

joker wins this set 6-3

[Nats' Fan]

Come on Nadal, hold this serve.

[jjgold]

looks like nadal done

Joker putting too much pressure on him

[face]

tough to call this one. i say five setter

[yisman]

OK so now we have different posters saying both Nadal and Djokovic are done.

[sportfan]

yup rafa looks to casual right now

[FourLengthsClear]

looks like nadal done

Joker putting too much pressure on him

He has to find away to play closer to the baseline. He's not winning from back there.

[Seaweed]

Nadal has beautiful calves.

[Hawkeye2011]

OK so now we have different posters saying both Nadal and Djokovic are done.

whoever says joker is done is correct

[Laki]

Oooo, good morning coach.

[The Giant]

Both players are sweating profusely. Why don't they just call it a draw, and split the championship? They could each have the trophy alternate weeks. It seems like a reasonable solution.

omfg

Which sober regular tennis bettor - not a Slam fan, someone who actually watches these guys year round - expected this to be over in 3 sets? Come on now.

[MagicDiceFlow]

over/under on reverse jinx players are prematurely done posts -14.5

[Hawkeye2011]

Nadal hit it into the net and Joker hit it good.....looks like this one is over. Goodnight

[sportfan]

slide backhand of rafa ain't working , why keep trying that?

[Mikail]

2nd set flying by. 3rd set will be B I G!!!

We will have an idea after the 3rd game of the 3rd set.

[Nats' Fan]

I really hope Rafa can take the 3rd..

[Lazy-Man]

Nadal will take 3rd set trust me

[The Giant]

Where is Bud Collins? He always has some insightful tennis thoughts.

He didn't die, did he?

[BlurredOut]

Yep, he posts that just before Djokovic goes up a break on Nadal.

But remember everyone, the match is already over!

oh no it's not over by any means. my personal wagers are just over -- under 41 and Joker 3-1 certainly won't happen. he isn't beating Nadal in three consecutive sets.

Nadal is serving better than I've ever seen. if Joker wins it'll be in 5 sets and over at 8PM ET. i'll catch it the replay tomorrow on esp3

still think Nadal has it 3-1

[Mikail]

Djokovic appearing to have found some game but hard to tell with Rafa falling back set 2

[Hawkeye2011]

Nadal will take 3rd set trust me

Inside info?

[UpsetSpecial09]

It is about to be tied at 1, NO ONE IS DONE!

Joker looks to have found his form and is in control right now. The 3rd set will of course be a big deal. Its amazing how every match its the same thing, people saying a player is done before we even finish the 2nd set of a 5 set match lol.
