2020 French Open Final: Novak Djokovic vs. Rafael Nadal

[Fiero425]

Rafa breaks Novak to open the match.

Djokovic broke himself! He's crushing the ball even though behind 2 breaks!

Double break up.

Good start. I can't believe that the roof is closed, though. TV says the rain has come and gone in Paris, but that's it, decision made. As if Novak needed another gift in this tournament.

It's hardly making any difference anyway. Djokovic is playing like an amateur.

Hey, Front! Yeah, but it's 3 games in, and I don't expect that to last.

roof is open around the sides isnt it ?..not like enclosed wimbledon.

 

[Front242]

Looks like both favourites are winning this year. Swiatek was extremely impressive yesterday. Massive future ahead too as she's only 19.

Hi Moxie. Way I see it, Novak uses the drop shot more and more when he's not feeling it. Some awful ones and very costly too just like here against Tsitsipas.

 

[tented]

Is Novak’s only plan to dropshot?

 

[Front242]

A rare good drop shot there but he's botched this set and tbh with physical issues he needed to win the first to have any chance imo.

Seems so :/ Head scratching tactics tbh.

 

[Front242]

Looking like a bagel first set for the poor bastard who's gluten free.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

can djoko fend off a 0-6 set ?.

No.

 

[tented]

OK, I did not expect this. I’m not complaining, of course, but I’m surprised.

They said he was using it a lot in Rome too. Idea is in the heavier conditions. But Nadal not buying it so much.

 

[Bonaca]

Jesus Bob at his best.
Absolute executing his main weapon, bringing back every ball. No UFE and Novak’s 1st serve non exsistent.

Haha really every ball is coming back, no matter how, also some moonballs, perfect strategy for him.
This will end up quickly.

He needs to pump some iron and hit the ball harder. Sinner showed how it's done I know he lost but that was the blueprint for winning here. Blast seven shades of shit out of the ball and try not to miss
