2018 Wimbledon men’s SF: Djokovic v Nadal

[Carol]

Rafa is playing great at the net, wow

 

[atttomole]

Nadal is also choosing the right time t attack the net.

 

[DarthFed]

Nadal taking everything early there, wow. Sometimes he is bearable to watch. Way more all-around player than he used to be.

 

[DarthFed]

Nadal clearly the favorite to win the TB

He's become great at net, theres no denying it anymore.

 

[Carol]

Novak keeps well his great elasticity and strong legs

 

[DarthFed]

Well yeah he could rally here even if he loses this set. It's over for Nole if he loses the set here

 

[atttomole]

DF.

Djoker misses another routine return, who'd have thought that'd hurt him

This is baffling...his returns in the 1st set were his usual deep, penetrating, time-sucking returns that Nadal doesn't like and it really dropped since then

 

[Federberg]

Not sure I agree. Nadal's serve has been just as good and Nole is still dictating most rallies.

you really think he's been dictating the rallies, that contradicts your observation earlier

Nerves, he hasn't been relevant for 2 years

 

[DarthFed]

Nadal dictating now though.

 

[atttomole]

Nadal is also varying the pace of his shots, surprising Djokovic at times.

 

[Federberg]

I'm a neutral, and I can't stand the fucking tension

 

[rafanoy1992]

See, whoever makes THAT return will win this 3rd set.

 

[DarthFed]

Not really, for most of the set he was still pushing Nadal around early in points but then got into the pattern of blasting everything crosscourt until Nadal redirected down the line.

 

[Federberg]

will they even be able to finish this tie break?

 

[Carol]

That was an awful error from Nadal, what a gift! Vamos!!!!!

 

[atttomole]

Sometimes it can be tough to watch these two playing long points. That is when I yearn for Roger who finishes points quickly.
