From a serious perspective, 4 sets, Murray winning the first or second and losing the rest. From a Clayray persective, a 5 set 0-6 0-6 7-6 7-6 12-10 marathon with Murray emerging victorious.

I would build a time machine and fly to Paris to watch this live if it happened.

Happy birthday Nadal

Poor Soderling.

 

[Diprosalic]

niiiice.

 

[jett]

I don't know who this Mowgli-looking motherfucker is, but he's not Nadal. The Nadal I used to know never quit under any circumstances.

What a sad spectacle.

 

[zroid]

damn, rafa

 

[Carl2291]

Yesssssss.

So long Rafa.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Mmmm finish off Nadal with a breadstick baguette

 

[darkwing]

lol losing by double faulting XD

 

[Machine Messiah]

Why did Rafa not call the trainer? That's his usual schtick

 

[The Last Wizard]

Happy birthday Nadal

Paul pierce sends his regards.

 

[Bigfoot]

Yes, always good to see Nadal lose Now Novak just needs to lose to Murray for a Murray - Wawa final!

 

[miserable]

at least the double fault on match point wasn't in a final

 

[sam777]

Damn, it wasn't meant to be like this. La Decima next year then.

Now my allegiance turns to the Stanmial for the rest of this tournament.

 

[Peru]

Djokovic in straights

Easy.

 

[MIMIC]

 

[Kensuke]

Noooo, Soderling's biggest achievement...

 

[Sax Russel]

BOOOOOOOO-..... well. It was a double fault, gah. The setup was great ;P

(^ that's supposed to be a BOOM rather than a "boo")

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Murray's forehand at 40-40. Gawddamn.

 

[greenleaves]

Nadal’s declined so much since last year. No confidence at all and his movement and accuracy have gotten so much worse. Novak isn’t even celebrating his win that much. Strange to say, but Murray (if he gets past Ferrer) will probably be more competitive. Rafa’s down to number 10 now, possibly number 11, and the draws will only get tougher from here on out.

 

[Space Avocat]

Muguruza, Nadal, and likely Ferrer all knocked out in a 2 day span. Poor España.

 

[Grep]

Demolition!

I hope Novak will stay focused until the end, has two more matches.

 

[Speevy]

Wow.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I really hope Tsonga beats Stan, just for the novelty of Nadal falling out of the top ten for the first time in a decade.

 

[darkwing]

lol no way Clayray is beating Djoker

 

[oti]

what? how

Only 50 of them in the world, produced with materials used for Formula 1 cars and helicopters, according to German commentator.

 

[miserable]

well, that was a pretty sad display by Rafa, i dunno what happened there.i mean yeah of course Djoker was the favorite and played better but still

 

[LuuKyK]

Nadal got destroyed. Yes Novak, good on you.

 

[Diprosalic]

Muguruza, Nadal, and likely Ferrer all knocked out in a 2 day span. Poor España.

Switzerland and Serbia have half the semi finalists in singles.

Yes!

Novak doing what Federer can't.

 

[Niraj]

gif

lol

 

[Smellycat]

It finally happened! And on a DF too (last 2 FO finals between ended the same way)

 

[Pepiope]

Novak is the one true king. He needs to get this French Open!

 

[perfectchaos007]

Novak doing what Federer can't.

Made it look so easy too. straight sets!

 

[DanteGhost]

I think this is it for Nadal. His body is no longer responding after a decade of pushing it to the limit. That said, what a great champion. Just to think he won 14 slams when Federer was at his peak. And seeing how Novak is already 28 he will be lucky to even reach 14 slams, so this pretty much reassures Federer's record to be safe for a long time.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Murray breaking Ferrer from 0-40 down. Gorgeous.

 

[jett]

Man is that Nadal? He's balding like a mofo.

Maybe he was a modern Samson.

 

[Acosta]

That was depressing. I knew it was hard but I had faith...

Congratulations to Djoko fans, good luck with the tournament.

Thanks Rafa.

 

[miserable]

did Novak at least wish happy bday to Rafa?

 

[hemtae]

Wow. Nadal losing in straight sets at the French open.

End of an era.

Yeah, with a slight difference that Federer won several slams against trumpeters like Philippoussis, Baghdatis, González, Söderling..

Try to compare that with Rafa or Novak.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Soderling's FO final against Federer was so depressing, don't remind me. He played *awfully*. I mean, I know most people play awfully in their first slam final simply because of the nerves (Kei and Murray being recent examples), but Soderling was something else. Federer wasn't even that good. At least Baghdatis was on an inspired streak for his.

 

[Niraj]

did Novak at least wish happy bday to Rafa?

Sure, he even gifted him a vacation.

 

[Sax Russel]

Sure, he even gifted him a vacation.

Amazing

Remember when Philippoussis was the star of his own reality dating show? "Age of Love" back in 2006 or 2007 I think. That's all I know him for

 

[perfectchaos007]

Sure, he even gifted him a vacation.

Majorca is a great vacation destination. Beautiful beaches, vibrant night life, prostitution

People just know the truth. I can't do anything about that.
