Good hold for Rafa. Well I think Nadal needs to keep that first serve percentage up, or Novak will climb all over it. Nadal hasn’t been afraid to go toe to toe with the Novak BH.

He needs no winner, aces, high 1st serve.

Just needs to bring everything possible back and wait for error.
Amazing stuff.

Right. He doesn't even actually play tennis...just stands there and waits for the more "talented" guy to screw up. That's how you win this tournament 12+ times.

Moron.

This is pure Kamikaze play by Novak.

This cannot work.

In fairness, Djokovic showed some type of vulnerability during the matches against PCB and Tsitsipas. The problem is he is facing the King of Clay today...

Wow, what a slaughter. While you never know with Novak, it is hard to see him figuring this out before Rafa is up a break in the third.

Why so angry and bitchy holy moxie.

Your bunny is running better than ever, enjoy the moment and this mastertalent!

He brings everything back and waiting for error or opportunity to do something by himself.
No one can do this better than him.

Back for one last comment. Djokovic has to win 2 more games to equal Federer's pathetic 2008 final score. Can he do it or will the score be even worse ? :D

The 2008 Roland Garros final is a point of reference worth considering. Rafa beat Roger 6-1, 6-3, 6-0. This probably won't/can't be worse, but it looks as bad so far.

You know what's even more surprising is that Nadal can win this event without dropping a set for a record 4th time, which will be an all-time record on the Men's side!

Also, IF Nadal wins this match either in 3 or 4 sets, it means that in ALL 13 finals he has played, nobody has taken two sets off him in the final, which is another absurd accomplishment of itself!

I saw Rafa as a semifinalist at best this year. I'm getting humbled again. He's a human clay.

a one sided final between 2 old blokes ..at least the one sidedness is a surprise.

wanted a tight match at least..this is drama free.

Of course he will, he is a better player than Roger.
Not a very intelligent question.

What Novak has to play to win just one point is unbelievable.
Bobs defense is inhuman, I have the feeling he is just training this.
Insane what a one dimensional play and talent like this can achieve. Just bring everything back and wait.
