Hit the ball you c*nt.

I bet Federer wishes he could've played Nadal in night matches during their past 6 meetings here.

Persephone · « **Reply #13922 on:** June 11, 2021, 08:59:17 pm »

Nadal's backhand has broken down here, leaving him really open to being attacked down both wings. Frustrating watching him at the moment

Rafa had so many chances but just made too many errors

Incredible match!!

Break backs mounting...

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #13926 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:28:32 pm »

The conclusion of this match will be played in an empty stadium. What a monumental fuckup by the organisers!!

this is amazing tennis

Persephone · « **Reply #13928 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:37:44 pm »

Good Lord, easy miss by Rafa. Next shot is an immaculate volley. These two are incredible.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #13929 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:39:51 pm »

Fucking hell, wow!!

Absolute disgrace this'll go without fans now too, not like they haven't had any notice about what's happening.

Persephone · « **Reply #13930 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:40:11 pm »

Amazing set. Rafa's gonna kick himself for missing some easy points but the biggest story is now that the crowd will be leaving. How ridiculous.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #13931 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:40:36 pm »

Incredible set.

Shame Djokovic is such a dislikable prick.

Alf · « **Reply #13932 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:41:44 pm »

This is phenomenal. Never seen a set like that one, they’ve got this curfew wrong. The organisers should have started play earlier.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #13933 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:42:42 pm »

Fans coming back yessss

This is absolutely bizarre but I guess that's covid times!

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #13934 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:43:07 pm »

They've extended the curfew - amazing what can be done in the name of ................

Novak wins this now

Ray K · « **Reply #13936 on:** June 11, 2021, 10:03:06 pm »

Nadal cannot consolidate after breaking. Another terrible service game with a bunch of unforced errors and it's back on serve.

Barneylfc∗ · « **Reply #13937 on:** June 11, 2021, 10:05:50 pm »

Nadal's feet are disgusting

Ray K · « **Reply #13938 on:** June 11, 2021, 10:11:42 pm »

This is over now. Robot going to win his 2nd RG.

Man, I hate Djokovic.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #13940 on:** June 11, 2021, 10:14:30 pm »

Just turned it on and it's like watching Sharapova v Azarenka.

Go ed Novak lad.

b_joseph · « **Reply #13942 on:** June 11, 2021, 10:16:58 pm »

The King is on life support..outside of the first 5 games of the opener. I think Novak has deserved it

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #13943 on:** June 11, 2021, 10:18:39 pm »

Novak is on a crazy wave of not being able to do anything wrong in this match, that last point, how the hell he won it I’m not sure but Rafa probably accepts it’s just not his day today. Who will he play in the final?

Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Did nobody think to get Djokovic to pee in a cup after he went full Maradona v Greece c.1994 in the last round?

He's such a detestable prick.

scatman · « **Reply #13946 on:** June 11, 2021, 10:23:10 pm »

Once the peds kicked in, the fucker won. Everything went right for him

Something about tennis where seeing two competitors going at it back and forth is just incredible. Great evening of tennis that

Djokovic is a prick.

Great match though.

One of them Djoko matches..he could be chasing a ball down into the crowd and he'd still stretch out and lob it back onto the far baseline..some unreal points

If you told me one of them was definitely doing peds and the other wasn't, then I'd laugh in your face.

But if you told me to pick the one who did them most, I wouldn't pick the Serb.

They are both unreal tennis players though. Today wasn't good beating evil, it was douche beating slightly more subtle douche.

TipTopKop · « **Reply #13953 on:** June 11, 2021, 10:43:05 pm »

Incredible talent and match from both players. We are so fortunate to have seen Federer, Nadal and Novak battling each other over the years.

Regardless of their personalities or what they may or may not be like off the courts, we can surely appreciate their level of tennis.

The next generation is (finally) starting to make inroads, and tennis looks to be in a good place for the future with Thiem, Zverev, Tsitsipas and Medvedev, but boy they have a lot to live up to with what those 3 have contributed over the years.

I know I've watched too much Eurosport this fortnight when I start to think 'Barbara Schett - looking very foxy today'.

So many Djokovic haters in here, bet that one was tough to take. Soon to be the greatest of all time, appreciate him while he’s still here 😘

I'm not a big fan of either Djokovic or Nadal, but I love tennis and do indeed appreciate what both of them bring to the court.

Only messing, I like Djokovic as well, he's an awesome player - some of the shots yesterday, from both players, were incredible - and want him to overtake Federer and Nadal. I can see why rubs people up the wrong way though.
