That’s pretty cool

I’m glad we have a little community on TD that loves the game. Between here and the sewers of Gambling Twitter is where I spend my time.

Yeah I’ve taken a look at men’s tennis forums and reddit, and they seem like a huge mess of fanboys having nonstop GOAT arguments. I can’t take it.

Here you just have to resist the urge to want to fight MidnightVibe about once a week

but I love the way Nadal has played this fortnight, lads

This might be my favorite thing about the final. If these guys faced off 2 weeks ago, the line would have been maybe Novak -200. You could make the argument that Djokovic is the best AO player of all time, and should always be favored, but you could also argue that Rafa is playing at such a high level that he shouldn't be the underdog here.

Djokovic on Rafa's service hold streak: "It's going to be different against me."

Rafa is about to get sandblasted at this rate. Swear he just can't win here again at all.

When you look at the level of play he’s had to beat in this tournament, it’s insane what he’s had to go through here to get another title.

The level Djokovic is at right now is disgusting.

He wasn’t going for any shots in the first 3 games, but I’m not sure it would have mattered anyway.

Rafa isn’t moving very well like we’ve seen the past 2 weeks

Djokes service game is such a breeze compared to Rafa whose fighting for every damn point

This is the game Rafa has to try to dig his teeth into.

One unforced error by Djokovic in the first six games of this match.

The way Djokovic is easily holding serve right now it's hard to think rafa will win this match.

That swing and a miss is gonna be an oft-used gif for years to come.

Peak Djokovic goes from defense to offense faster than anyone in tennis history.

Rafa needs to start mixing in slices.

I also (as I say in every f’n Rafa match ever) that he could come in more, but Novak’s returns are so deep he really barely ever has any chances.
