2015 Monte Carlo Masters Semifinal: Djokovic v. Nadal

[Fiero425]

Some serious rallies in this one...

Rafa had to fight from double break point to hold! :angel:

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Novak wastes two break points.

But, he needs to win this one in two sets. Otherwise, it is a "win for Rafa" even if Novak wins the match.

 

[Denis]

Novak killing those topspin moonballs.

Uhm really?

Losing is losing buddy. And it's still clay they are playing on.

Novak killing those topspin moonballs.

He really looks up for this match; not taking any prisoners!

 

[Kieran]

Novak wastes two break points.

He didn't "waste them", in fairness, Rafa fought back well. But I see Nole as the stronger here, with Rafa having it all to prove. As you say though, if it goes to three, who knows?

 

[Kieran]

A wallop of a return! Nole seeing the ball really well now...

Of course a win is a win and loss is a loss. What I mean is that even if Rafa takes a set off Novak,
it would give him tremendous confidence to him at this stage leading to him finding his A game just in time for RG. That is why he needs to be taken out quickly.

 

[Kieran]

What a backhand from Rafa. He's surprising me today, the guy's much better here than he was at MC last year...

A wallop of a return! Nole seeing the ball really well now...

Rafa's slice is keeping him in these rallies! :nono :s :angel: :eyepop

They guy has 9 RG trophies. He will know when he arrives in Paris. I really don't think this match will matter that much even if Nadal wins let alone win a set.

 

[Carol]

I have the strong feeling that even if Rafa would lose this match he will be the real Rafa Nadal in the next tournament

 

[Denis]

These weasely slices keep dropping in!

[Denis]

I have the strong feeling that even if Rafa would lose this match he will be the real Rafa Nadal in the next tournament

Who is real Rafa Nadal?

It's a football team from Mallorca.
