Common rafa! win this match as well as ur 8th RG and silence the bragging djokovic.He s too arrogannt to respect the greatest man on clay.Show him his place.
my bet is djokovic is going to win against nadal... djokovic is one player who can play the high bounce generated by nadal's top spin shots. the clay court is advantageous to nadal because the clay court causes the ball to bounce high even more than any other surface. nadal's retrieving any kind of difficult shot makes him a tricky player and djokovic should tame nadal today.

It's too close to call...Djoko would be a favorite on any other surface.On clay Nadal takes some serious beating..just that,I feel it's Djoko's best chance today.Nadal is nervy and also not fully fit..Djoko needs to pounce on his chances and keep the rallies short.I feel if Nadal wins the first set he will be very very tough to oust later.Lets see...it has all the makings of another classic.Let the better player win.
mind says Rafa (becoz of his clay record) and heart says Djoker (he is the best player since 2-3 yrs n deserves career slam). Better man on day win ! just wished it was the late 2nd match.

you are right.. nadal is what the mind goes with. nadal's retrieving game tactics can cause psychological problems to the opponent who can get demoralized playing against nadal. djokovic is one player who can go the distance against nadal.

What does your stomach say?Is it still bleeding with the ulcers caused by your extreme hatred of Rafa and his fans?Also,your abusive language seems to have taken a hit these days....are you afraid someone is gonna appear and KO you from the boards just like Fedex was KO'd from the F0 ??
It's quite nice to see a GOAT free SF in a Grand Slam,plus the deafening silence of his fans here.I suspect a few of them will crawl out and post the customary nonsense if Nadal loses today...otherwise they will remain largely silent most of this year and the years to come.

AR, Federer lost to a sixth seed, who has appeared in a couple of Grand slam finals before and also at the QF. He (Fedex) did not lose to a Rasol or somebody in the 2nd round. Did you get it loud and clear

Ramamoron...he LOST,that'sthe point.To a Nishikori before he came to Paris,and now Tsonga who should ahve taken him out in Melbourne as well before he blew it.It's only a matter of time before the Rosol's make it.Fedex is another Tendulkar,waiting to be taken out forcibly.Did you get it oloud and clear

Federer still holds the record for successive quaterfinal appearances. Clay court is not being his favourite is well known. Yet he has made it to the quarters is itself an achievement. Nadal can only dream of playing like Federere at the age of 31 .

What I meant by quarterfinal appearances is the, Federer has made it to 36 consecutive quarterfinals in Grand Slam. Some of his list of records is something that can't be broken.
