Yep. I'm bummed about this Rafa withdrawal, somewhat for him, but mostly for Fritz. I hope Nick shows up on Sunday. If Djokovic whips him, it probably didn't matter who was in the final, anyway.

Would be great to see how fake they are to each other if Djoker wins tomorrow.

2 days of years of anticipation

Must see tv

Nadal always trying to undermine Novak b/c he knows that Novak is better and will break his all time record

You know Rafa's bald arse is praying for another COVID hysteria and for NYC / US Open to ban Novak

You didn't receive a second set bagel in the FIRST round of QUALIES to get into a challenger?

You sure?

Very surprised that Halep got blasted like that.



I had a tiny bit of coin on it too, so no bueno for me.

It does suck for Fritz, really on two levels:

1. Had Rafa decided to retire during the match rather than the next day, he'd be into the semi.

2. Has to sting with the knowledge that he couldn't pull it out against a severely compromised Nadal.*

*partially related: I wouldn't pull it out of his girlfriend.

What particular action are you referring to, mate?

Remind me which one of them has more wins at the Open?

Novak has never taken a set off him

However this was when he was coming back from surgery I think

Cam Norrie's build reminds me of Stan the Man a little bit, perhaps a little taller, but similar thickish, solid build. Nice start for the young man.

Yeah, he's a strong baw. That straight arm backhand he hits is weird. Novak broke right back.

On another subject, does anyone know what the players are drinking during their matches? They are drinking out of water bottles, but most times it is something that’s not water. I’m interested because I’ve just researched sports drinks, and the ones we normally drink, Powerade and Gatorade were pretty much at the bottom of the list. I figured if anyone knew the best thing to drink, it would be tennis players.

Djokovic was drinking his bottle strangely the other day and it had people wondering if he was inhaling something.

This blog says a lot of the drinks are Cytomax, Endurox and Biosteel.

Rafa consumes a lot of energy gel.

I keep imagining the thoughts going through Nadal's head if Novak loses this match.

About a 1% chance Novak loses, but still.
