2014 Masters Series Rome Final: Djokovic v. Nadal

[kskate2]

Nadal saves all 3. deuce

Saves is a generous phrasing.

hey, he had to get a serve in for your guy to make an error on didn't he?

 

[calitennis127]

Well the gnat did what he does best and weaseled himself out of another game he had no business winning.

 

[masterclass]

Blown opportunity. UE's from Nole. Going for lines a bit too much.

Respectfully,
masterclass

 

[nehmeth]

Like Novak's hair color there.

 

[Front242]

Well the gnat did what he does best and weaseled himself out of another game he had no business winning.

That was all Novak's undoing there.

 

[calitennis127]

The first point of the game at 3-5 sums up my view of why the extent of Nadal's success is utter BS.

 

[Riotbeard]

Novak is really bringing his A and F game, nothing in between.

Careful now. Moxie and Tented are going to raise your warning level for uttering rational thoughts.

5-4. Nadal will serve for the set

Rafa couldn't have done anything better, but Novak didn't make him do anything particularly exciting.

Watching Tennis Channel commercial... Ana Ivanovic is such a natural beauty. Whew.

 

[kskate2]

Novak is really bring his A and F game, nothing in between.

Well if you average those he's playing at a "C" level

 

[masterclass]

First real test for Rafa. Trying to serve out the set.

Respectfully,
masterclass

 

[calitennis127]

Front - don't question Nadal's greatness. He has won a bunch of Slams by "forcing"unforced errors. Remember last year's US Open? That's what makes Nadal "great".

His matches this week don't bode well for him serving it out.

 

[calitennis127]

Watching Tennis Channel commercial... Ana Ivanovic is such a natural beauty. Whew.

Yes she most certainly is.

 

[Riotbeard]

See dropshots can work... Well fine.

 

[kskate2]

oh no. another dropper

Actually, Moxie said "Wow, Novak really let Rafa off the hook there."
