|

By:
they had a 44 shot rally that djoko won, then he won 8 games in a row! to win the 3rd, nole broke early in the 4th and nadall complained about conditions and play was called off even though djokovic wanted to continue
|
|
By:
how it is possible he won 8 games, rafa looked unbeatable? HOW?
|
|
By:
Rafa looked unbeatable compared to Almagros, Zeballos, Ferrers, Monacos...till Djoker decided to play like a champ. Then Rafa looked like a lamb!!
![]() ![]() ![]() This is what happened! Some people cannot understand that, because in their heads Rafa is UNBEATABLE??????????????? ![]() ![]() They fail to see NOle playing across the net??Shot sighting people!? Fell sorry for them. ![]() ![]() |
|
By:
What Nole is doing now is he puts Rafa in the same class as Seppi and Tsonga!!
![]() Djoker is just a bastard! ![]() |

Am on Nadal @ 1.61 Stake 350 euro. 3 Choices. Trade into green in full with Nadal on my side @1.41. Leave well enough alone or lump on more Nadal. Advice appreciated please.

NOLE WILL WIN THIS in 5, nothing to say more, q3,4 is a gift of the year

By:
Am on Nole 6.36 and i will go for trade only if goes downt to 2.00, i will win or i will loose i dont care.
For me it was a great chance Nole to finish Rafa in 5 sets yesterday. Today things may be will be different, however Nole has the chance to make the impossible.... If the first serve of Serb will be very good he will win the big trophy! |

By:
when i watch first 2 sets, actually it was good Rafa, so i wonder its Nole who step it up in 3rd or rafa just started played worse?

If I remember well, a drizzle of rain came down throughout the 3rd set and
until the match was suspended in the 4th set. I guess the organizers wanted to push through the entire match on Sunday. I did not work. So we have a final over 2 days coming to conclusion on a working day. My questions are the following: Could any of the 2 players during the course of the 3rd set either demanded a suspension or refused to continue to play? Who has the ultimate power of decision to order a suspension? And what penalties a player could incur if any for refusal to play on the grounds of rain? Thank you guys. |

seen 1st set. did the rain save rafa?
|
|
By:
No , i think the rain saved Djokovic, it helped him to stop rafa's game!

Rafa was fuming when the match finally got suspended. There was a drizzle of rain throughout set 3 and 4. The sand got very sticky. Balls got very slow. Big momentum shift. Major problems with top spins due to rain etc.. |

The question everyone should be asking is why did they start at 3pm local time?
The forecast was iffy, the forecast for Monday and Tuesday is very poor. These two play notoriously long matches. 3-4 hrs would have been a quick final, 4-5 hrs an average one, 5+ a slightly above average final considering it's Nadal vs Djokovic on clay. Maybe the French didn't watch the Aussie open final. So why did they start at 3pm? TV? Whatever the reason, it was a stupid one. |

Do you know of any specific rules in this type of circumstance. Can a player refuse to continue, etc. Thank you |

umpire and match referee will liaise and make a final decision thou may well ask the players there opinion and take into account
