2013 French Open F: Nadal vs. Ferrer

[herios]

And Nadal's parents are too bored to turn up for the finals

So am I, I promised herios if Ferrer made it to the finals I would go teach Sunday School and volunteer to assist with Bingo with the senior citizens.. clap

You need to double that. Ferrer made it with style.

And that is the reason why I hate Berdych and Tsonga. No problems if you want to win whole thing (or reach the finals in the least), but don't stop Fed if ur intent is otherwise

Common now, Roger didn't show up for this event. And David did.
I m fed up with the trash David got on all our 3 sites for years. Enough already.

My peeps in Vegas said that Ferrer's parents put down 10k on Rafa in straight sets:blush:

So how is going with that project?

I am heading to church in an hour.. I am quite sure you will keep me updated on the match.. I am sure it will be a great clay court battle..

Already:laydownlaughing

maybe ferrer can freak out nadal by rotating his weird square shaped head in the style of...The Excorcist uzzled

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Heavy, damp day...advantage David?

---

Ferrer is missing easy shots. He is tight right now. Maybe if he can get the break back here he might relax a bit...

 

[BalaryKar]

Heavy, damp day...advantage David?

And already broken

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

This is better from David. This is exactly how he wants to play. Keep the ball in play, long rallies, grind it out. His court time has to be significantly shorter than Rafa's.

---

That is a forehand Nadal makes 120 times out of a 100. David got lucky.

Rafa it's a little bit lethargic......expected. Ferrer could steal the first set and if he doesn't then it's lights out.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Raining already...Nole is like "where was this beautiful weather friday?"

---

No way that ball was out.

---

..and leads to a break...

 

[kskate2]

Rafa takes opening set 6-3

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Nadal gets the firs set without much drama. David's reaction is the only unknown now. Will he dig deep, realizing this might be his last chance at a slam, and fight till the end, or go away gently into that good night. I say he will fight. That might not change the outcome but still...

 

[El Dude]

at 6-3, 2-0, its hard to imagine Nadal dropping a set. What was the last Slam final this lopsided?

 

[Moxie]

David's reaction is no unknown. He'll fight hard until the end. He just doesn't have enough power to beat Nadal. I think that now that Nadal has worked out the kinks and creaks, he might run off with the rest of it.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Nadal's level has gone up so much in the last half hour. Poor david had to fight tooth and nail just to hold one serve.

---

Nadal looked tired for 2 seconds during the last rally, but still came up with the goods at the end. David is trying...

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

shame daveeeeeed couldn't convert one of those 4 break back points just then..make it interesting again (for a bit at least)..

but captain vamos fends that nonsense off....and then more R I O T I N G ..

---

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO break back..now daveeeeeeed is only losing 2-5 ..:snigger

---

note to self: reply key is not the same as new reply key. :nono

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN..MR USAIN BOLT IS IN DA HOOSE.

 

[kskate2]

what the heck are these people doing? A torch or flare in the crowd?

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

?? ??

---

stick a fork in 'daveeeeeeeed' he is done..

...well done, like an overcooked dried out festive turkey.

lets go here comes title no 8..anyone see a 1984 lendl-mac style comeback ??

 

[kskate2]

Rafa up 6-3 6-2 after some shirtless fools tried to run on the court.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

David has got nothing to hurt Nadal. When he redlines, he makes mistakes. He wants to extend the rallies, then Nadal eventually gets the upper hand. He cannot take time away from Nadal.

---

hold the press...david has 3 break points, which means...shoot umbrellas are up again...

 

[kskate2]

Nice hold by David for 2-2

 

[crystalfire]

this is one of the boring-est finals ive seen in a while.

 

[kskate2]

yep. can't think of a worse one right now, although the 2010 Wimby was kind of dull

2 MP's for Rafa
