Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
If he wins the French Open to complete the "Joker Slam" then there's a possibility he wins all four slams because Roland Garros is his biggest hurdle. It'll be Djokovic-Nadal again at Wimbledon.

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
But come on man they are 2 best players by far. In general tennis players are way underpaid and usually it makes me sick when I hear those athletes complaining about salaries. But when you look at the bigger picture those ATP players that are out of top 10 you can't compare them to hoop players. Also all tennis players make is based on performance not like in NBA. Also they don't earn when injured plus have to cover most expenses( travelling, hotels, coaches, trainers etc).

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
Nadal ain't very happy right now. You can tell he wants to crawl under a hole. Poor bastard. I feel kind of bad 'cause he won me money against that bum Federer.
Here's to Rafa :cheers

I'm surprised Novak is able to hold that trophy up.

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
I love both these guys. Remarkable athletes, both very funny and personable too. Great heart showed by both men in this match.
If Roger were Nadal the courts would already be more wet from his tears than they were from the rain earlier.

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
Now he knows what Federer (my favorite) felt like
And the scary things is that Djokovic can play a bit better than he played today. He missed quite a few shots he generally crushes
Nadal will have to be more offensive ALL the time, not just in spurts, even on clay but because his defense wont be effective there either versus Djoke

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
Roger is a fucking prick. I will never forget when he lost to Berdych at Wimbledon 2 years ago and then said it was beacuse of his bad back. They consider him bets ever which is BS if you ask me. Such a classy guy according to everybody but I don't know about that. Good thing Rafa called him out when they were talking about strike.

Correct. The Murray match too a little too much out of him, and we saw that in the 1st set. This was far from Joker's best match.

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
It's not like Nadal was playing his best either. so many unforced errors with that one at 4-2 30-15 when he was on serve. That balls goes in and most likely he would have won.
But crealy Djokivic is the best player right now. Just seems like that fucker can get to every ball where every other guy would not even touch that ball yet Djokovic can attack it.
I have never seen anyone moving better on the court. Nadal needs to improve his serve which I doubt he will otherwise he would have done it laready.

I don't disagree. Nadal wasn't playing his best either... but that's probably what made it a classic match. The back and forth...

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
I dont dislike Roger because I appreciate what a talent he is and how much work he puts into the game. I would maybe agree he is the best ever at the sport (rafa way up there also). I just think the guy is a horrible loser. Showing some passion and caring about losing is a good thing imo, but he takes it too far.
His whining about Djokovic going for broke in the Open last year on Fed's serve for the match put me over the edge on him. Guy was literally crying about Joker hitting a return winner off the serve, saying that was classless.

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
Nadal let him off the hook. In the middle of the 5th Djoke was on the brink but Nadal didnt make him move. Djoke had several winners where he didnt have to move and Nadal served him meatballs, plus the crazy miss on 30-15 when up a break

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
I remember that :LMAO
I've said it before, Roger is the best ever as far as accomplishments. There's really no doubt there. But two years ago after he beat Murray to win the Aussie Open, I said it would be his last Grand Slam victory. Part of me loves that he's still playing, though, because he's a good fade in the latter rounds. And the public loves to bet on him...

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
BTW is there a way to bet on Wimblendon already?
Imo another battle like this and they wont recover after the FO because Wimblendon is right after.
Just like last year after the US Open both were spent
Murray could be a great play

Nadal failed to take advantage when Djokovic was clearly struggling with fatigued legs. Nadal went for some very questionable shots.
The Joker has a higher tennis IQ than Nadal.

There's also the possibility of too much coaching from that bloody Uncle Tony. Nadal should stop focusing on him during matches and play his own game.

Re: Who's going to pound Novak Djokovic?
Because he is classless. World did not noticed that until now when he stopped dominating. And how can he be best ever if he has losing record against his biggest rival. Also he never beat Rafa at french open. Rafa beat Roger at Wimbledon when Federer was on top of his game. Also I think when Federer was on top of his game competition was much weaker than in other times. There was young Rafa who was considered only clay specialist at that time and who else?? Roddick??

I think we should stop trying to bet on Murray until he actually proves to us he can win a Grand Slam by actually doing it. I've been a victim myself... and I'm not going to risk any more money on that goofball.
