2018 Wimbledon men’s SF: Djokovic v Nadal

BP

Actually, it was KA who was knocking on the door. KA had 7 BPs while JI had 0. Also, how many times JI got down to 0-30 and then dig himself up.

In the first set John had several BP's and never converted. He ended up losing that set and the match. I made a post about it in the first set

80% of his posts are name-calling, whining and complaining about Roger's rotten luck and Rafa's incredible good fortune.

I thought that was all his posts. What are the other 20%?

Djoke breaks

 

[golds girl]

Nole with the first scalp...up a break

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Vamos Novak!

Djokovic breaks. He is asphyxiating Nadal, like a constrictor.

May be so in the first set. In the fifth set, KA was the only one doing the knocking.

 

[golds girl]

Nole's looking the way he did when he was winning slams...when Rafa didn't have an answer..oh boy

I was being generous.

I already know about the 5th set as I was posting as it happened. You must not have been around in the first set when John had a truckload of BP's

 

[atttomole]

Great service game from Nadal.

 

[Horsa]

I was being generous.

You're very kind. Me being generous would have had him insulting, whinging & whining about 99.99% of the time.

 

[Federberg]

You can see Novak's confidence growing point by point

 

[kskate2]

I think they will have to finish this tomorrow. It's been about 50 minutes and we're just starting the 2nd set.

 

[atttomole]

Nadal is trying a good strategy of slicing, to bring Djokovic forward, but Djokovic is not missing, gobbling up the slices.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Vamos Novak! one done, two to go.

Nole leads in all statistical categories except for the % of success while going to the net.

 

[kskate2]

If this match follows any of their other matches, they trade sets and then have to play a decider.

 

[atttomole]

I think they will have to finish this tomorrow. It's been about 50 minutes and we're just starting the 2nd set.

But they can play until 11, so it depends on how the match goes.

No way, Nole will get it done in straight sets before 11 p.m. Novak is very good in winning while racing against the clock.

Playing under roof is a great adavantage for Novak. Hope Rafa takes better decisions, he has played bad the first set , hope something changes
