Dont touch that net!

 

[Faith]

Please Nole never touch the net again!

 

[John Dunbar]

only times nadal has won a grand slam final when losing the first set are 2005 and 2006 french opens. not looking good for rafa.

 

[MIMIC]

So that second serve that Djokovic hit on BP that looked like it was out....

Was out. lol

Really? Awesome

i knew that game would end with djokovic hitting a double fault on break point (how else?). no one just noticed.

 

[scarlet]

If Nole win the 2nd set, I'm gonna watch this match. So sleepy.

 

[Smellycat]

I just realized that the last 6 sets that Djokovic has won against Nadal have all been 6-3

 

[Lkr]

Djokovic thought he would get a walk for that

Really? Did they show a hawkeye on tv? Wow.

 

[MIMIC]

Really? Did they show a hawkeye on tv? Wow.

Someone online (MTF) said that they showed hawkeye on French TV and McEnroe confirmed it

 

[Hige]

Djokovic never lost a GS final after winning the first set.

This is his day. This is history.

only times nadal has won a grand slam final when losing the first set are 2005 and 2006 french opens. not looking good for rafa.

Where do you guys get these stats from?

 

[scarlet]

Sometimes I hate stupid statistics like there's this tennis twitter account that tweeted 'Nole is the 1st person to beat Federer and Nadal in Grand Slams'.

I replied 'No, DelPo did it first'

And he replied 'different order'.

Seriously what kind of stats was that?

 

[MIMIC]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Nadal_career_statistics#Singles_performance_timeline

But a lot of people remember these kinds of stats from over the years. As for the finals record, I remember hearing it on TV (around the last couple of tournaments)

Fake edit:

I posted in the tennis thread about it:

Anyway, another staggering stat from the Djoker: he has a 100% win-rate in finals after winning the first set.
Federer: 86%
Nadal: 86%
Murray: 81%

 

[Sax Russel]

You people with the stats better not jinx this.

 

[cackhyena]

Whatever happened to Soderling? I can't believe that's five years ago already. We will all be dead before you know it.

 

[Jinto]

Woke up late for this. At least the right person is winning. What a point!

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Whatever happened to Soderling? I can't believe that's five years ago already. We will all be dead before you know it.

It zaps your life force to defeat Rafa here......

 

[DemurOnion]

Stats don't mean much to me. This is still Nadal's ground. Joker needs to get into high gear. I don't want to see a 5 setter tbh.

 

[cackhyena]

Pro Joker crowd here on Gaf, eh?

Left the tour to recover from a severe case of mono in 2011. Still trying to come back. In the meantime he created a line of tennis balls.

 

[Deku Tree]

Out?

 

[MIMIC]

Obviously out

 

[Diprosalic]

lucky lucky novak.

 

[cackhyena]

Huh. Hope he comes back. Seemed like a genuinely good guy.

 

[Diprosalic]

Huh. Hope he comes back. Seemed like a genuinely good guy.

He's 30 now so i highly doubt it.

 

[Kensuke]

Just how much luck does Djokovic have?

 

[scarlet]

Pro Joker crowd here on Gaf, eh?

Because we love Federer and hate Nadal

Lol wut

just goes to show what a warrior federer is. without his mono he would have won 20+ slams.

 

[MIMIC]

Well....

lol

 

[jett]

Can Nadal do this? How's he been playing? I haven't been following tennis for a while.

 

[Patriots7]

Poor Nadal

There is a brah on MTF that is an ATP stats genius.

 

[Deku Tree]

AD Nadal

 

[cackhyena]

Because we love Federer and hate Nadal

I love Fed, I have no love or hate for the rest.

 

[Deku Tree]

Nadal breaks. Djoko starting to look slightly sluggish compared to Rafa.

 

[Jinto]

Because we love Federer and hate Nadal

Or we just love Djokovic. Break for Nadal. Maybe I should go back to sleep. :/

 

[DanteGhost]

Nadal back in the game. This game looks like it will be decided in the 5th set.

Edit: Maybe I apoke to early. What an awful play from Nadal.

 

[scarlet]

Well....

lol

Please don't take it too literal :|

 

[cackhyena]

Ooooops.

 

[Pepiope]

Novak comes back!

 

[Kobe24]

Break back

 

[MIMIC]

Novak seriously needs to stop playing around. HOLD AND BREAK. Nadal is obviously very shaky right now and Novak is taking that for granted and not seizing upon a rare opportunity to bury him.

 

[Smellycat]

This match is whack, so nervy lol

 

[Niraj]

Well, he's not Gulbis. Don't be so hard on him.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Wow, never thought I would see Nadal break then got broken in the very next game

 

[MIMIC]

Well, he's not Gulbis. Don't be so hard on him.

Gulbis would be serving for the match by now =p

 

[John Dunbar]

what did that woman spray on her face?
