Roland Garros 2014 - Rafa and Maria are the champs!

[bones]

The time wasting from is almost as bad as Sharapova yesterday. Seriously need to cut it out.

[vvvslaxman]

Another great final is going on.

[bones]

Novak wasting time as well, both of them as bad as each other.

[bones]

Novak keeps getting chances on Rafa's serve, but Rafa coming up with some body serves to hold. Still on serve in the 2nd set.

[vvvslaxman]

Rafa is not at his best. But won't be that way all through the match

He's not at his best because Novak is taking him on. Novak is not at his best, else he'd have hit 5/6 more clean return winners.

Both players are just playing ok, well below their best. Both were nervous towards the end of the first set, Nadal a little more.

[zep1706]

Nadal has turned into a mental midget.

[vvvslaxman]

Djokoivc has never lost a grand slam match after winning the first set.

Nadal has turned into a mental midget.

This guy will find a way

The time wasting from both is bad, but Nadal's seems the worse of the two. The match is quite boring, not like their previous encounters, but the intensity is high.

Set a piece. This is a choking competition so far.

That is because not many great rallies.

When these two guys play a 20 sec break is way little between points. Besides these guys learned to play tennis when the time rule was not enforced at all. They used to take way more before, they have considerably reduced in the last couple of years. Cut them some slack.

[vvvslaxman]

The game has become physical now . Only one winner there.

[bones]

Djokoivc has never lost a grand slam match after winning the first set.

That's about to change, Novak seems really fatigued.

[bones]

I don't think Novak is just tired, I think there's something wrong with him. He has had a history of fitness issues, but not since 2011. It's a shame, cause they way the first 2 sets were, well set and half it was high intense play. Novak played a 5 hour and then a 6 hour match inside 3 days before, so getting tired after 2.5 hours, strange.

[bones]

Nadal might be starting to show some fatigue as well, not attempting some shots. What is going on with these two guys out there.

[bones]

Nadal holds serve. Goes up 4-1, can't see him lose this now. However a 5 setter might be on the cards if Novak somehow find some spare gas.

[bones]

Definitely definitely both are showing tiredness. It's surprising because last year was more brutal and yet they are struggling earlier here.
