2018 Wimbledon men’s SF: Djokovic v Nadal

[atttomole]

Rafa returning noticeably better this set

True. He is giving Djokovic more trouble.

 

[Federberg]

break point Rafa. He isn't going to lose this, you have to win it

 

[golds girl]

Someone is going to injure themselves with these acrobatics

 

[Carol]

Ugh Rafa!

 

[Federberg]

Is Rafa's sister married?

 

[Carol]

Yes, one more please!

 

[Federberg]

and another break. This is turning into a war

 

[Carol]

Is Rafa's sister married?

Nope!
And another break! vamos!

This will end up being an easy 4 setter for Rafa. I didn't think Nole was up for this mentally and that seems to be the case. I also don't think Djoker is back to good fitness yet

 

[golds girl]

I hate that crazy/ugly face of Novak when he makes some errors and more the way he yells, very unpleasant

Well to be fair, Nadal's game-winning faces aren't the most photogenic either.

 

[atttomole]

Djokovic is missing more.

 

[DarthFed]

His level dropped through the floor, no pace and depth on shots and that's what owns Nadal when he's playing well.

Nah..I see it going 5 and Novak does this thing where he seems gassed but really isn't...watched way too many of these match-ups and thought he was done physically but was just gaming. Mental fitness...dunno

The key question is "Can Novak hold it mentally for 5 sets?"

 

[Federberg]

Interesting change of tactics from Novak. Shortening the points

If he goes down physically, then he is done against Nadal.

 

[Federberg]

wow! Rafa psyched out there and goes for a silly drop shot

 

[Federberg]

rally of the match!

 

[Carol]

If he goes down physically, then he is done against Nadal.

Novak never goes down physically, but if you are watching the match you can see how well Nadal is playing on the net too

 

[DarthFed]

Nadal doing what he does, gets every ball back
