2014 Masters Series Rome Final: Djokovic v. Nadal

[tented]

Good second point.

 

[TsarMatt]

Man, it's so damn exhausting seeing these guys play.

 

[tented]

For Rafa, hitting long was a "good" mistake.

 

[kskate2]

15-30

 

[Riotbeard]

Not sure why novak appologizes for hitting a great backhand, embarrasingly good?

 

[Riotbeard]

Great early break!

 

[tented]

Yeah, I don't know what that was about. Weird.

 

[kskate2]

And he breaks 1-0.

Ssshhhh...adults talking here. Go talk to your pet snake or turn water into wine or something...

Murat, you are 100% rational. You don't believe in religion, but every thought that ever went through Ayn Rand's ignorant mind was logical.

But no, you don't believe in superstition.:lolz:

You are a moron. It is established. So go somewhere else where other morons hang out. Leave.

don't forget you are a mod, not supposed to take it personal... a moron? that's your 'opinion' which you should not throw out in your position. now what rules/policies did he just break?

Even though it is a fact and not an opinion, you are right, my bad.

calling someone a moron is always an opinion, no exceptions.

it's great tennis, why do people get irritated/emotional so easily? Djoker was owning Nadal, which is a 'fact'. I have no horse in this and i know supporting one player over another is important for a lot of people here, but come on......

:snigger Or it could just be that it's waaay past your normal bedtime!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Novak swinging like Gene Crupa now...

 

[Riotbeard]

Like Miami, this is starting to feel 2011ish... and I love it.

 

[Ricardo]

strange, Djoker reads Nadal so well but Rafa seems to have no idea where Djoker is picking his shots. Yet when Fed plays Djoker he reads him well but cannot read Nadal at all, meanwhile Nadal reads Fed so easy.....

 

[kskate2]

love hold 2-0. Nadal needs to find some 1st serves in the next game

The circle of life.

 

[tented]

And like IW and Miami in 2011, Rafa won the first set, only to lose in three.

 

[TsarMatt]

This reminds me of Monte Carlo last year.

Djokovic is just hitting the ball so flat and so hard. Nadal really has no idea what to do. Beautiful on the eye, really.

 

[Riotbeard]

Wow. I am stunned and this guys is my favorite player

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

who said rafa was not down on speed.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I find it disappointing that none of the network TVs are showing this, not even espn, only Tennis channel, is this how exclusive Tennis has become?

ESPN will only cover the master's events in North America. They very rarely will carry the European ones because of the difference in time zones.

If the ratings backed it up, they'd cover tennis in Siberia. Not enough US people care about tennis anymore.

This is #1 versus #2
it deserves it!
I bet if one of them was John Isner(An American and who is not top 2) instead, some executive in espn would have decided to show it instead of Cheer-Leading competition.
