Djokovic/Nadal in match thread

[PR9]

unbelievable match. unbelievable.

Both are winners in my book.

[yisman]

How many miles did each of those guys run just a guess?

Novak 20
Nadal 17

if we're guessing

[GunShard]

Wow, I thought my Djoker bet was going to lose. What an epic comeback!

[UpsetSpecial09]

How many miles did each of those guys run just a guess?

Not sure for tonight but saw a stat that Joker ran 4.3 miles during the Murray match

[MagicDiceFlow]

This was 10x better

That match was not physically draining like this

Not 10x better but equal being that the Nadel Federer Wimbledon was considered greatest tennis match of all time. The Murray Djokovic was the best semi match ever played in my book.

[Mikail]

No question who the best in the world is. Djokovic played 2 count em 2 grueling 5 setters in a row to raise the trophy.

[sickler]

Good match. I was up early, watched some of it while waiting for soccer.

No money on it though......I don't bet tennis

[habitualwinning]

Lol look at these dudes struggling through these sponsor speeches.

[yisman]

wasn't a question before this match either

Djokovic is coming off the greatest year ever for a men's tennis player and he is #1 in points by a huge margin.

[MagicDiceFlow]

Rafa should be ranked #1.5 not #2 .....what a fukkin warrior.

Fed does not have the heart like these two do

[UpsetSpecial09]

Joker's next major goal is to win the French Open. I am a huge Federer fan but have become a major fan of Joker's as well. I think both will win majors this year. I would really love to see Joker complete the career slam but would love to see him complete a calender Grand Slam. Joker has a LONG AND VERY SUCCESSFUL career ahead of him!

[face]

Lol look at these dudes struggling through these sponsor speeches.

they should give them a half hour break after that, but it's all about tv i guess

[UpsetSpecial09]

Fed does not have the heart like these two do

JJ seriously this is fukin absurd. Federer is one of the greatest of all time. He has plenty of heart.

[yisman]

Eurosport didn't even show the postmatch with Djokovic and Nadal. Instead we get three people sitting in a studio for 10 minutes.

[Demonata]

Novak 20 Nadal 17 if we're guessing

Not sure for tonight but saw a stat that Joker ran 4.3 miles during the Murray match

Ok thanks for the help guys.

[yisman]

Eurosport guy: "in what other sport do you play almost six hours of tennis in?"

This guy is so stupid.

now they're showing Nadal's speech

[Demonata]

JJ seriously this is fukin absurd. Federer is one of the greatest of all time. He has plenty of heart.

JJ does not know tennis. He just says stuff and has no idea what he's ever talking about.

[hels]

Novak 15.x and Nadal 13.x after 4 sets..... so yisman is probably very close.

[hels]

JJ does not know tennis. He just says stuff and has no idea what he's ever talking about.

jj doesn't know anything concrete about any sport. either he gets paid by sbr to post or he is still living in his mama's basement.

[face]

rafa very gracious, nice guy

[Bbr]

Well played djoko. Heart breaking for nadal. Nadal ran out of gas as well...

[John Morrison]

best match ive ever seen , was on joker big , ups and downs all match , when he blew those 3 break pts in the 4th set i almost broke something , thought i was going to lose the rest of the match after that , then being down a break in the 5th set , u kidding me? to nadal , crazy shit , lets go

[MagicDiceFlow]

Love Rafa's speeches ...what a humble warrior.

[LVHerbie]

Most excitement on SBR since it was cool to have a man crush on Tebow...

[chevy6]

makin love to the trophy lol

[face]

i thought the murray djokovic match and this one were both awesome

[shari91]

Very happy I got to watch this one. 3 times in a row in a GS the same guys ever met... first time ever - according to Courier at least

We'll probably never see a battle like that again sadly. Full on war for that long just won't happen in our lifetime again. Seriously even for those of you who don't really like tennis, if you watched this one, you watched the equivalent of Gretzky scoring 100 goals or whatever. Once in a lifetime match. Again, ty everyone. So happy we got to watch this one together

[jjgold]

JJ seriously this is fukin absurd. Federer is one of the greatest of all time. He has plenty of heart.

He has lots of choke in him when up against the top players

Interesting that Nadal's top serve was faster.

Also he did better in first serve % for some reason and somehow had more aces and double faults, which was not at all expected.

He was serving lights out in that 5th set....won like 10 straight first serve points.

[YOUSENKO]

Nadal's tactics are ridiculous, i am happy he lose although he is gracious in defeat.

[YOUSENKO]

He has lots of choke in him when up against the top players

He defaults when a player play war of attrition against him. 2005 against Safin in AO too. His tactic is to wait for the top players to be burnt out then he get the tourney. He is still doing this now.

[Demonata]

You make no sense.
