Who will get to Magic # 8?
Djoko to win 8 straight finals against Rafa, or Nadal to get 8 straight MC titles?
Nadal seems determined. I expect one of the greatest matches on clay ever. May the better player win.
What's your thought?

at this moment Nole is in the final, and Rafa leads Simon 1-0 in sets. (I am kind of ahead of myself here
 ) |

By:
yes that court is a trap and a sandtsunami can yet ruin the whole thing.
but i agree, the best player triumphs tomorrow. GL though i hope you won't win because i'll be on the one from Spain |

I'm not expecting a classic tomorrow.

VAMOS NADAL

neither am i but 2.4 on djoko is surely some vlaue.......

By:
for Nadal tomorrow's final is to be or not to be. He didn't win any title for last 11 months???
Plus, possible loss means, good bye claycourt domination! Good bye #2 place too. And if djoko decided to dedicate this final to the soul of his deceased Granddad, then the classic is inevitable. |

Laying Nadal big times, only in play or if SP below 1.6...
Djokatore in 3 sets ! |
|
By:
Yes, Nole will dedicate this final for Grandpa and play for him tommorrow for sure !
|
|
By:
I think this match is just too dangerous to bet on.
Nadull got this amazing record in MC, also arguably is the better claycourter. Yokel on the other side proper h2h lately and getting some help from heaven above. Just fearing a Nadull tank (3 sets to make is less obvious ??) to his great friend to dedicate it to grandpa. O/U 22,5 also tricky to play but if pushed would side for over. |

By:
nadal favourite? how many times does djoko need to wipe floor with nadal before market realises that djoko is superior? 2.28 is definetly more than value here.
PS: didnt djoko beat nadal on clay last year? Lost to federer in F.O otherwise would have won that as well!! |
|
By:
the match up is poor. its why djokovic is 7-0 since the beginning of 2011 and 10-2 since the middle of 2009.
he dominates him. he takes his crosscourt fh to his bh on the rise and hits it back fecking hard, disabling nadal's most potent weapon. every time they meet nadal looks clueless as to how to handle it, and i would argue at his most clueless on clay. he looked utterly clueless in rome and madrid last year. djokovic should be no bigger than 1.5. |

Nadal is back to his favourite moonballing. MC court is so slow...that Rafa can moonball all day long. Simon even good hitter had no clue against moonballs. That will kill Djoker tomorrow. Only if Djoko jumps 1m above the ground with his hand high above his head, he'll be able to touch 50% only of Nadal's moonballs.
Rafa will murder Djoko by moonballs. Not only tomorrow. |
|
By:
Djokatore will blow Rafa with his ridiculous moonballing and also Djoker will win Rolland Garros this year and
hopefully than everybody accepts him as the " REAL" number 1 ! |
|
By:
There isn't one good reason to believe that Nads can turn this around tomorrow. Last year Nole's advantage over him increased as they hit the clay....Nads is playing tosh....Nole has shown he can reliably lift his level time and again to get the job done....etc. The market is madness. Hopefully tomorrow some lessons are learned....8 times bitten 9 times shy? :)

By:
I think that market screwed up the price. It should be other way around:
Nole @1.8, and Nadal 2.2 This is just for SP. Of course the in-play price can go high either way. |
|
By:
This match is wide open. I think SP prices are fair.
Both players will up their games, but Djoko has to prove more than Rafa. Can Djoko sustain a 3 setter with 2 close to perfect sets to beat Rafa? I am not so sure. Rafa will have a different game plan v Djoko than v Simon. That is for sure. If Rafa keeps Djoko behind the base line, and he can do it, Djoko will get frustrated. This would result in UE and risky shot taking. I think it will be a shootout. Who is going to win. Frankly, I do not know. |
|
By:
best to watch the first few games then take a position, we all know its a match up problem for rafa like rafa against roger, it remains to be seen whether rafa can overcome the problem of djoko mauling his BHs, if he still doesn't have a gameplan to counter that, then might be defeat no.8 for rafa, we all know in terms of motivation and determination to beat djoko, rafa is 110%, he really needs this badly or i fear for his FO

anyone else noticing that Nadull hardly slid into shots yesterday? Seems to still have problems with knees, that caution should influence his overall level of play.

Nadal can't see Djokovic winning this one

Dkojer to double my bank today!!!
I can't miss such great value and I don't really understand why so much love for Nadal! I can tell all of you my reasons why I think so, but there are so many of them.. and I think that you know them also! Go Djoker! PS: Someone can tell that Djoker is not the same but I can tell you that Nadal is also not the same. |
|
By:
yyyy: haha moonballing. that's funny. he should switch to WTA with his moonballs :)
|
|
By:
djoker's price inflated by dropping sets to berdy and dolgo, but he always seem to go up a few notches against rafa, especially in finals, which is frustrating to watch for a rafa fan

Nole can't see Nadal winning this one

match against Simon is no reference to Rafa style this week, against Wawrinka he was a lot more agressive.
Dojokovic vs Rafa on clay in 2011 isn't a reference this season yet as Djokovics hitting this week is not as clean and powerful as it was last year on clay, maybe also due to conditions or grandfather or whatever. No bet for me. |
|
By:
surprised to see djokvic 2-0 at such a high price, but then againb i am expecting nadal tp win in straight sets
|

By:
Would rather take the 5/4 about there being three sets than the 5/4 about Djokovic winning the match. So I have

Djoker will win

Agree 2:0 Djokovic seems to be tempting but lack of consitence this week.

Now I'm on Novak 2:0

Djpkp will try to shake Rafa's FH! And if he does so, then He will comfortably win win in 2 sets.

different Nole compared to earlier this week.

By:
yup Djoko should be 1.40ish

on djoko here, nadal will not have easy service games

where's prince albert's wife. chained to the radiator back in the palace to stop her escaping?
|

By:
on no there she is. probably got one of those electrified collars on though if she wanders too far away from him.
|
|
By:
The key for Djoko is to shake Rafa's FH!!
Once he does that, Rafa is done! He will completely lose his confidence, and from there that would be easy task for Nole. |
