Unbelievable tennis from Nadal

Saved 2 set points at 5-4

And is now serving to make it 5-5

[southstand1882]

Nadal has lost this now

 

[NaijaSpurs]

You maybe right

 

[NaijaSpurs]

But they are both warriors

 

[linnet_spur]

Fantastic stuff. I love tennis. Well done Djok

 

[paxtonwolf]

Awesome game. Anybody else in the final and Nadal would have won

 

[NaijaSpurs]

They are both great champions, and I just love the class with which Nadal handled his defeat

 

[Klinsmania]

Incredible game, how Rafa managed to take it into a fifth just shows how much courage and heart he has. After edging the first it was all he could do to stay competitive in sets two and three, and even the fourth he was outclassed, but managed to win it through sheer guts and determination. I really thought he was going to win it when he broke first in the fifth, but credit to Novak for an astonishing fightback once again. Absolute epic.

 

[NaijaSpurs]

A real classic

 

[Jurgen the German]

I was at work so I unfortunately I missed most of it. Unbelievable standard of tennis from the top 3 players in the last few years. The question now is can Djokovic overtake Nadal in grand slams?

 

[NaijaSpurs]

I think Nadal will win the French again this year

 

[linnet_spur]

Too far away to really give a good prediction on that, a lot of tennis to be played before then, but as it stands I agree with that.
