Djokovic/Nadal in match thread

**Hawkeye2011** · 01-29-12, 05:13 AM

I could see Joker win this set something like 6-2 :-/

**Nats' Fan** · 01-29-12, 05:13 AM

Damn it Rafa, I got church in the morning!! Finish this Serb, now!!!!

That's not even his name and you're guaranteeing a set win!

That's up there with the NBA announcers that like to say: "He has made 27 straight free throws, he is a cold-blooded killer at the free-throw line..."

And then the inevitable clank always ensues.

Yeah it's debatable who's worse between the two. "He hasn't served a double fault all match"... sure enough, next serve DF. "She's been winning 70% of the points when she gets her first serve in"... loses the next 4.

That's why I think it's almost dangerous to listen to these wankers if you're a bit susceptible to that stuff. Like I pointed out earlier, they only present little snapshots of stats... never the full story, yet live bettors get stiffed because they believe that garbage.

Fuk me! Joker is turning it on now.

**Seaweed** · 01-29-12, 05:15 AM

The Spanish Tragedy, or Hieronimo is Mad Again was published on January 29th, 159. To this date, it remains a cultural phenomena in Spain, and a reported favorite of Nadals. This must have some motivation for him today.

Need jj in here to talk about getting numbers up.

Murray/Novak got 789.

We should sail past 1000 here, even with a quick match.

live bet: which will be more: yisman's points or the number of posts at the end of the match. :P

**BlurredOut** · 01-29-12, 05:17 AM

Nadal is simply too good for him... Joker can never get past his defense. he relies entirely on the small probability that Rafa will commit an unforced error

**dredmahawkus** · 01-29-12, 05:18 AM

you guys see those big black beetles? those are sick ! they keep landing on the court....theres a dead one now on there...the ball boy took the last one off after Rafa kicked it.

shari, I recall you saying during Djokovic/Murray that Fed and Nadal wouldn't let themselves display poor levels of fitness. Maybe Djokovic will put it all to the test.

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.

**Hawkeye2011** · 01-29-12, 05:19 AM

Huge hold for Rafa after the way that game started off

**BlurredOut** · 01-29-12, 05:20 AM

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 :P

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.

I'm lucky enough to come from a country where the government has determined I shouldn't be privy to this live-betting that you all get to participate in.

Congress is really looking out for me.

I'm not sure why I quoted two posts there. This place confuses me.

It's rough being a simpleton.

Everyone better get comfy....this one is going over 5 hours

**zacharyj53** · 01-29-12, 05:24 AM

Joker looks to me like he is starting to find his spots. Put a little on him at +1.5.

**Nats' Fan** · 01-29-12, 05:25 AM

This is the last set I can watch. Falling asleep. I hope to go to bed with Rafa up 2 sets to none. Somehow I don't see that happening.

**benandjerry** · 01-29-12, 05:25 AM

anyone else on the over?

I would say our first bizarro post of the night, but that would be ignoring the giant, and who would do that?

giant, both 5 Dimes and Bovada are US facing books that offering live tennis betting.

I've often wondered if tennis players wear underwear under their shorts, or they just let their boys roam free.

Does anyone have any insight?

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

**Seaweed** · 01-29-12, 05:28 AM

Nadal won the first set

Still better for Nadal though, I thought Nole had to take that first set to win this but who knows. I just wish so many books had these opportunities for live wagering all the time, so much fun watching these lines move. Pinnacle

as usual, but I love watching these. betonline

for keeping these lines up the whole match
