French Open 2014 - The Other Players

Quote

A pity it had to end on a double fault.  For me that wasn't a particularly enjoyable match to watch - can't wait to get on to the grass.

i stopped enjoying it as well, not fun to watvh two players physically struggling while trying to beat each other down. Became more an endurance test than tennis match.

Oh heck.  Now Djoko's in tears ... magnificent ovation from the crowd.  I've never seen him emotional like that before though.

Very sad for Nole.
What a strange match, made up in intensity, what it lacked in quality.
Do hope Rafa doesn't go on a massive, confident boosted  tear and win Wimbledon now. Rolling Eyes

That was a pity, a real anticlimax. You have to feel for Novak. I guess he got his hopes up after winning the 1st set.

Congratulations Rafa that's all I can say.

Losing today will make Nole more hungry to win Wimby.

Delighted that Rafa won. Hope that will see the end of Becker.

My worst nightmares just come true. Rafa's won the FO again. He will be the favorite for Wimbledon now. Long time since Novak won a GS. Hope that him and Andy get to the final of Wimbledon.

Or Darcis for that matter. Personally my money is on  James Ward to draw him in the first round and beat him in three  Whistle.

I just think that was the most predictable outcome we are going to see all year. For me to call it it must have been. Djokovic wants RG far, far too much. I actually wonder why, whether it's to do with wanting the career slam or whether it's purely to put Nadal in his place, at least in his mind. I know what I think, and it isn't the career slam. Those two make Andy and Federer look like best mates.

I found it laughable that they spent the last couple of sets wittering on about the conditions. Djokovic is supposed to be Superman. He's supposed to be able to handle everything, because he's got super-human powers of recovery. That's the guff the 'experts' have been feeding us since 2011. It fascinates me how this changes when Djokovic doesn't win. I'm still laughing from Courier's comment about Djokovic at Wimbledon last year, that his semi against Delpo took so much out of him that he didn't have anything left for the final. A word Jim, it starts with b, ends with k and has ollocks in the middle  Whistle. Andy is a better grass court player, just as Nadal is better on the clay when the chips are down. It's not rocket science.

I honestly couldn't care less about the result. The only good feeling I have about it is that Andy lost to the eventual winner. There's no shame in that.

If Nadal is considered the favourite for Wimbledon it will surely prove that the person who works out these things is a bit silly. Nadal won RG in 2012 and lost in the second round at Wimbledon to Rosol. Nadal won RG last year and lost in the first round at Wimbledon to Darcis. Nadal says himself that the bounce on the grass doesn't suit him now, because of his knees.

Yes, I hope Djokovic and Andy get to the final at Wimbledon too  Whistle.

TJ i agree Rafa wouldn't be my favorite to win Wimbledon. There are better grass court players than him.But he is one player out of probably four or five who are the favorite to win it.And he got to the final of the AO so I don't think he minds what surface he plays on. He can play on any surface it's just that the clay is his favorite. And Rafa does not have knee problems.

Caroline I'm only repeating what Nadal said himself last year when he lost to Darcis. He was adamant that he struggles on the grass because of his knees. I'm not even getting in to whether or not he does have knee problems Smile.
