Spot on.

On a few other forums I have seen a lot of people say Djokovic isn't beating Nadal in the form Nadal is in.

However, Nole's level has increased a LOT, since the Montreal loss to Nadal, and he managed to take a set off high level Nadal, whilst playing a relatively low level by his standards.

People forget that the big four almost ALWAYS save their best level for these matches. And their performances in Slam matches beforehand rarely ever matter.


Exactly, Nadal's win at the French was a prime example of that. I personally hope we get a Nole/Rafa final because the way they're both playing it could be an epic and we might just get the classic GS final this season's been desperately lacking :biggrin:

Djokovic to win the US OPEN in 3 sets, no?:lol:


Lol, so I take it you're hoping your jinx will result in a Rafa straight sets win then. Guess we'll have to wait and see

I am a Janowicz fan.

That moment shows passion.

Disgusting line judging.

I know it was a bad call but that was still just a tad OTT by Janowicz. He's young though so he'll mature in time. Even Nadal and Federer have had their moments and we all know about Murray
Meh, he's the best of a bad bunch who got one lucky draw.

I'm beginning to suspect that once Djok/Murray/Del Potro finish their reign at the top in 5-10 years that we will see something similar to the gap between Sampras and Federer filled by Tomic/Raonic/Nikishori/JJ.

Oh ok. Yeah it'll be a sad day when the current top players retire. Hopefully the younger guys learn from their predecessors and step up

Paris draw wasn't lucky.

He has plenty of potential, just needs to sort his mental attitude out, as well as shot selection

Apparently Serena has lost 16 games to get to the final? Just unbelievable...

Good thing they put Novak's match first on schedule, as he needs more time to recover for the final, considering Stan is a much tougher opposition than Gasquet.
If Gasquet and Stan win their SFs, Roger is 9th in the race to the ATP finals.
This is the moment Richard, seize it and prove all these doubters wrong.

I don't know why but if Gasquet beats Nadal I'd find that more shocking than Nadal's poor showings at the last two Wimbledons. I hope it's a competitive match though, seems only fair considering we're all expecting at least that for Djokovic vs Wawrinka
