2018 French Open Men's SF: Nadal v Del Potro

[atttomole]

Its over.

 

[britbox]

No it isn't.

 

[Denis]

Let's see. This was absolutely great for Nadal to break DP's morale. But the actual dynamics of the match (not the scoreline) may still give DP an outsiders chance. He just needs to become a tennis robot like Nadal and keep believing in every point.

 

[DarthFed]

the bad thing for DP is that Rafa didn't have to play well at all to win that set.

 

[DarthFed]

No it isn't.

Barring Nadal getting hurt it's over. I mean if someone offered you $500 against your $20 on a Del Po win right now, would you do it?

Yeah sure.

 

[atttomole]

No it isn't.

You think Del Potro can win the next two sets? I don't think so.

 

[Denis]

Overhitting now. That's not a good sign.

 

[Denis]

He needs to win three actually.

 

[DarthFed]

Yeah sure.

I don't give him a 5% chance of rallying vs Nadal at RG. I wouldn't give anyone that chance from a set down especially when it's one that totally got away

 

[atttomole]

He needs to win three actually.

I mean at least to remain in the match.

 

[DarthFed]

Now it's a blowout.

 

[britbox]

If he loses this set then I'd class it as over... but we have these shenanigans with Darth. He'd have paid out a set early in the 2017 AO final.

 

[Denis]

Yeah sure.

Depends on how easy you can miss 20 bucks

I would not put any significant money on DP right now, regardless of the wins.

 

[Moxie]

Talking of Drama Queens...Darth.

Brother, if he wins this match from a set and break down vs Nads at RG I will mail you $100. All the way out to Australia!

Good way to put it. Nice sunny conditions too.

 

[britbox]

If Delpo get broken now I'd say it was over.

Shall we start the Thiem v Nadal thread?

Give it a go.
