If Sharapova wasn't such a basket case, she could've been one of the greatest female tennis players of all time.

One of the better women's finals I have watched in some time. That being said, I could do without Sharapova's gamesmanship with her tactical delays and constant retreats to the backdrop done to break Halep's play. On top of that, there's the Serena like "increasing the volume on grunts even when the pace is taken off" which can be for no other reason than to distract or disrupt the opponent. Both Maria and Halep played at a high level today, but one thing that will stand out for me from this final is how Maria constantly gets away with the most awful forms of gamesmanship.

At what stage of the tourney did Nadal overtake Djokovic as the favorite (betting wise), wasn't Djokovic favored coming in?
This is the type of matches that if you want to bet take the better odds because Djokovic may a tad better, but hard to bet against Nadal in the French......unless he's playing Soderling

Anyway, this should be a good one.

That forehand down the line by Nadal on break point, Jesus.

Nole breaks and will serve for the set though.


Djokovic saves double break point and takes the first set.
