RG SF - Nadal/Djokovic

[Sundaymorningguy]

Such sloppy play.

Nadal breaks back. You can't catch a breath with this guy.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Djokovic isn’t going to win if he can’t consolidate these opportunities he shouldn’t be broken at love. If he is going to lose the game take it all the way at least.

Excellent T-serving by Nadal today. Straight down the line and curls nastily at the end. Very dfficult to return and, even if you do, the shot you return it with is an easy put away.

 

[Front242]

Another failed drop shot and point lost as a result.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Where was that service game after the break ? Glad to see he held there.

 

[don_fabio]

It's all or nothing for Novak this set. I feel like he can get it.

 

[don_fabio]

looks like Novak upping his game, he needs to break here

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Now hold your serve! I want a match.

He is in now.
Keep this fucking level up for Christ sake!
Idemo!

 

[Front242]

Wasn't watching for a while there and came back to see a rare winner from a drop shot by Djokovic.

 

[napo]

And again he can’t hold serve after a break.
WTF

 

[don_fabio]

What effort Novak needs to make just to win his serve. At which point is Nadal going to just drop his guard for a bit?

 

[don_fabio]

This game is so huge

 

[napo]

Yeeeeeees. Come on.

 

[Front242]

8 games won and last year's score beaten anyway. 5 left to equal Schwartzman. 6 to beat his score.

 

[don_fabio]

Looks like they are playing brutal tennis despite the result?

 

[napo]

This is a match now.
Idemo u pm!

 

[Front242]

Looks like they are playing brutal tennis despite the result?

Not really. A lot of passive balls not hit hard.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Djokovic better focus and take this set if he wants to give Nadal something to think about in the third.
