2013 Monte Carlo F: Nadal vs. Djokovic

[Sundaymorningguy]

Woo hoo Nole! Now stay focused and kill it in set number 2.

 

[kskate2]

The Nadal serve fails again and he drops the first set 6-2

 

[herios]

Pheww, converting the 8th set point. Hajde!!

 

[Denis]

First time Nadal loses the opening set at MC in 35 matches.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

8 set points then nadal DF's,

rafa/wafa is being owned just now :s

 

[Denis]

Excellent point by Djokovic

 

[herios]

The Nadal serve fails again and he drops the first set 6-2

DF is a very bad omen. In each game he was broken, Rafa had a DF

 

[Denis]

Wow, he just toyed with Rafa on that last point. He does NOT want to piss him off.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. He does want to get into his head though. But better not by fooling around.

Ouch that would have been a good blow if Nole would have one that point at 15-15

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I just tuned in and Rafa blessed me with the first wedgie!
Then I see a 20 hit rally!

Nole might just run away with this.

 

[Denis]

Adje Nole! Great hold, are we seeing some 2011 level here?

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Rafa is probably the greatest competitor I've ever seen in tennis.

That's next to fed, right?

 

[herios]

Wow, he just toyed with Rafa on that last point. He does NOT want to piss him off.

That is the goal

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Two break points... you do not mess with the Majorcan Bull. Rafa is probably the greatest competitor I've ever seen in tennis.

That's next to fed, right?

NO. When Fed get's pressured he doesn't have the fight that Rafa does. IMO.

Just messing with you buddy!


My stream crashed! I don't have Tennis TV

 

[Denis]

Nole misses three easy points...

 

[britbox]

Sloppy from Novak...

 

[kskate2]

Rafa breaks on some uncharacteristic errors from Nole. I still think Rafa needs a little more aggression, end some more points at the net

 

[britbox]

Nalbandian-esque angle on that cross court backhand.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Great return by Nole followed by a lousy one?

Rafa up 4-2 in the second set.
I am back tuned in.

Do we want a three setter?

Unless Rafa's serve falls off, you're gonna get one

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Rafa up 4-3 now.
Some match stats.
2 Aces each.
Nole 0 DF, Rafa 3 DF

Serve % Rafa 76% --Nole 58%
Breaks Nole 3/10 Rafa 2/5

Nole with two break chances to even things out...
