Men's Final: Djokovic v. Nadal

[Liberal Icon]

I think it is all but over. I will be surprised if Djokovic does not take this final and end the 5 times futility at FO. He has solved Nada's riddle now and despite Nadal's almost seemingly invincibility at the French, Djokovic is almost certain to take this final one. He leads 1 set 6-3.

Oh, Gawd, can anybody shut Mary Carillo down? I have to mute anytime she talks.

Now, we have one set all. Well, let's brace ourselves, it is going to be a bumpy ride even though I still believe Djokovic will win in the end.

Pulling for Nadal

How in hell did it happen? How did Nadal beat Djokovic again at the FO this year after Djokovic dominated him in Rome? I still can't believe it. Congratulations, Nadal.

Too many unforced errors at key points in the match. It was there for the taking and he blew it.

Nadal had more winners than Djokovic.
Nadal had less unforced errors than Djokovic.
The same thing happened in their 2013 French Open meeting, except this time Nadal only needed 4 sets.

Its funny how people keep thinking best-of-3 is the same as best-of-5, and how people think a non-slam is the same as a slam.

Djokovic beat Nadal at 2013 Monte Carlo and 2014 Rome, and it meant nothing when they played at Roland Garros each year.
