zep1706 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Apparently nadal won what a terrible quality match. As a nadal supporter I'm glad that he finished it in 4 looked out of it for the last part of that set. Novak was physically done after set 2 may be battling something.

bones Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Time to fire the useless Becker. Novak has gone backwards, not forwards. Winning masters means **** if you can't win slams. The sad part is, Novak has the game to do it, but the tactics deployed this match as a pose to their recent encounter in Rome were pathetic. Too many obvious runs into the net, too much pulling the trigger early, even when Nadal was tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep1706 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 It is clear from today's match that both guys are at edge of their physical peak. However there are not many younger players who are able to challenge them still. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time for some fringe players to pick up like what happened in early 2000's when Federer stepped up after Sampras left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 klpd for joker fans. Nadal had lead earlier 4-2. So it was a fair result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamos_rafa Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Nadal is undoubtedly the GOAT. It's debatable but what he has achieved with a limited game and guts truly is remarkable. I would like to think he should be higher in consideration than Sampras atleast. Close call b/w him and Federer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 There may be guys who have better athleticism than Nadal. But clearly they are not in Tennis. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fed has more WTFs which to me rank above masters events but below slams as the points system indicates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raghav_12 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Djoko probably put a lot of him in first set. The way first set had gone, it looked like match would be a straight set affair. Then Djoko slumped a bit and Nadal started finding his confidence and then range in his shots. There was a stas shown that in 1st and 2nd set speed of his forehand shots was 122 mph while in third it reached to 130. He got some backhand winners early in second set which was a great booster for him. He also employed backhand slice very well to slow down Novak a bit. Novak couldn't rely on 'attack backhand' strategy any more. Match wasn't of high quality but probably not as bad quality as it is being suggested. Agree there were few longer rallies as you would expect in their match but as both players were going for early winners, and they got some stunning winners as well, it was bound to happen. Now if Nadal can pick one or probably 2 more GS outside French, few debates would be settled for good. a great champion and fighter who draws his game from his intensity.

bones Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Well that's ruined my Sunday. The smug look on Nadal and his fan's faces is disgusting as well, enough of this ****. On to the grass season it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
