Djokovic/Nadal in match thread

**eXon** · 01-29-12, 10:36 AM

What a great match by both of them. Djokovic with another comeback in another Grand slam final. Proud of being serbian. Did anyone catch a live bet at 4-2 to Nadal in the last set? Wonder about that rates on Djoko to win it at that time. Anyways I cashed in 1.5K Usd on this, so congrats to all the winners here.

I still dont like Raffy;s game against Joker way too many short balls and balls right back at Joker instead of going for more angles
Jojer wins many easy points..raffy not as many
Raffy always on defensive..Joker no..well not always but you get the drift

Coach

You never made a tennis demonstration video

Leave them both alone. When have you ever seen chairs brought out for the players to sit on during speeches after a final?

You'll never see that one on one for 6hrs in any other sport... no 58 commercials, no "defence/offence teams", no coaching, no trainers called, nothing. Yes people bet money but if you bet this match without appreciating this sport, then you should never have touched it because this is the best we'll ever see in our generation. Totally stoked for those who cashed...even though I broke even I truly don't feel like I missed out. What a way to lose on a +140 dog in a Final. This will be one of those "where were you moments" for years to come in tennis broadcasts. I thought Murray/Djoko was amazing but for sheer readiness to kill themselves on the court, I've never seen anything come close to this.

I agree, no scandal, bad calls not too bad (did not ruin anything), no injuries, 6 hour 5 setter, AWESOME

**jrs362** · 01-29-12, 11:18 AM

Made a max live bet of $500 (Left me with about $53 in my BR) on Djokovic on an ABSURD line when he won the 3rd set. Then Nadal flipped the switch and had me sweating bullets. Wound up putting the last $53 on Nadal to win late in the 4th to at least get some of my money back if he pulled it out. Would have been nice to be up 12x after that match, but I'll take 1.5x over broke 8 days a week.

That match was just amazing and can't wait till the next tournament.

Joker easily could of win in 4 also and Nadal could of won in 5

Who is better??

Joker much better....its not as close as it seems if you watch matches

**horja1** · 01-29-12, 01:16 PM

37 pages ingame thread for a tennis match? damn what an unpopular sport

**jjgold** · 01-29-12, 01:18 PM

Tennis is big time here
Sbr geographical changing

**k13** · 01-29-12, 01:22 PM

Love seeing Nadal lose.

**Fred Showpan** · 01-29-12, 02:01 PM

Was really happy to have woken up to see Joker a winner. Guy is a machine. Looks like it was quite a sweat last night

**jjgold** · 01-29-12, 02:05 PM

It was a miracle Nadal even stayed with him as he was run all over the court most of the match
Proud of Nadal

I think I've missed what you are referring too. If I had money on this I would have gone through misery and glee 20 times over.

I put wagers on Joker 3-1 and 3-2 both at very nice prices. The 3-2 hit at +458 and I was 10x more confident in that hitting than an nba -110

**thetrinity** · 01-29-12, 03:13 PM

i bet on the joker for the match. a very rare tennis bet for me. it seems every time i bet this sport i have to gut wrenchingly sweat it out. was very intense though, gota give this sport that much.

**ttwarrior1** · 01-29-12, 03:17 PM

i refuse to call him joker

Novak is simply physically stronger than all the other players. They need to lift more weights.

**jjgold** · 01-29-12, 05:57 PM

Nadal vs every other player he is being on the attack most of the time against Joker he is a defensive player too much and afraid to go for more shots, also he hits way too many short balls and Joker tees off and gets great angles

**byronbb** · 01-29-12, 06:09 PM

Went to bed when thread was on page 18 assuming rafa was done. 71million traded on befair for this one!

**xxxvince** · 01-29-12, 08:16 PM

best game ever.. now while watching nfl probowl.. aaron rodgers and jokers almost looks the same.. personality and fighting spirit

**Deuce** · 01-30-12, 12:30 AM

Rewatching again now. Remarkable.

So late there when they were finishing you could hear fukkin crickets chirping.

**Mikail** · 01-30-12, 01:01 AM

I watched it again today. Fantastic battle with peaks & valleys for both players. I was very impressed with both Nadal & of course Djokovic. Djokovic is clearly the more talented athlete but not too much. Nadal has a never give up attitude and a desire to win that is refreshing in pro sports. Love having a wager on someone who plays with heart like that. I was so glad to cash my Djokovic ml -150 / Djokovic to win 3-2 +458 and I even put in a live wager on Djokovic to win set 2 @ -130 A sweet ending to a great Aussie Open.

**jjgold** · 01-30-12, 06:44 AM

Watch match again and you can see how Nadal was always on the run

He played perfect and still could not beat him

Joker was off a little and a sore muscles

**V3GASBBY** · 01-02-18, 03:49 PM

ok.
