2014 Masters Series Rome Final: Djokovic v. Nadal

[Ricardo]

Boris wants to see his charge win the first title under his 'guidance'

Better.

That's debatable and the record doesn't really bear that out. Like this match, there have been momentum swings but overall they're very close.

Nadal may hit a great winner here and there, but he needs Djokovic to hit unforced errors to have his "momentum swings".

Big difference.

It's not that simple Cali. Sometimes, Novak doesn't hit w/ a lot of margin. When you're going for shots like that you aren't going to make all of them.

Did you see the start of the match? Whatever Djokovic's margins were, they didn't matter, because his shots weren't even close.

I did see the first set and he was going for the lines more then and missing. In the 2nd set he started to play not as close to line until he got his timing together.

Call me old fashioned, buy I would rather here" Vamos" or "Come on" after a made shot , a winner, not after an opponent's miss.

Rafa can't make novak do much of anything today T.

 

[Front242]

And then that :nono

 

[nehmeth]

This is great for Novak. This match will be in Ralf's mind when they meet in Par. Unless Fed knocks Nole out in the semis again.

 

[tented]

Congratulations, Novak! Well done.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Well done Nole. Deserved win.

 

[Moxie]

There it is. Great job by Djokovic.

Call me old fashioned, buy I would rather here" Vamos" or "Come on" after a made shot , a winner, not after an opponent's miss.

I agree.

And all of us who picked Novak in 3 should've whacked some cash down.
