Is this the most significant match since Wimbledon 2008? It feels like it.

To spare my nerves and allow me to go back to bed, I wouldn't mind another "Del Po" annihilation ala '09 USO of Nadal! :angel: :dodgy:

Right, off to the sitting room to watch this on tv. Cheers federberg for mentioning it was on ITV4 or I'd never have even checked.

 

[Kirijax]

Nadal and Djokovic come out in Tennis Frontier colors.

Of course.

ESPN2 showing all the lowlights of Novak's mistakes here at RG :cover

And the highlights from this year's Monte Carlo.

Thanks ESPN.

Not even. What will it signify? If Novak wins, he's already #1. If Rafa wins, he's still the best at RG and still #6 or whatever. Wimbledon 08 was a changing of the guard.

I beg to differ! This is a clearing of the dirt :snicker

PS, Please take that as the joke it's meant to be. I know you will Moxie.. but other might not :dodgy:

Almost 11 pm here but I'll pull an all-nighter!

Jeez... got to put up with McEnroe on Eurosport... where is Frew McMillan? Already telling us about the number of times he played his greatest rival Borg.... No mention of Lendl who he played more often and had a losing head to head 2.

I respectfully disagree. You are talking about the greatest clay courter of all time - if Nole wins this match, I think it's a changing of the guard as well. Soderling's win was a fluke. Nole's win would be a dethroning.

Er... potentially a career grand slam, first french open title, a second loss at RG in a decade, a potential 10th title...

Can you think of a bigger match SINCE Wimbledon 2008?

Lots of nice stuff from Novak that first service game. C game for Gasquet. A game for Ralf. Wise man.

 

[Moose]

Nole's improved sense of coming to net is so beautiful to watch.

 

[Riotbeard]

Amazing opening game from Novak!

That was NOT a fluke. Not having it. Soderling did what Stanimal did yesterday in conducive conditions. Please do not diminish a career match :nono

up a break lets goo

 

[Federberg]

Get in! NOOOOOOOLLLE!

 

[britbox]

Big statement from Nole.

 

[Moose]

Rafa's nervous...Novak is opening with some amazing confidence.
