The 59th meeting of two giants in tennis......NADAL vs The Joker (DJOKOVIC)

[a kennedy]

Rafa won the first set…..6 - 2. Does anyone else feel The Joker just toys with his opponents at times??? I always get the feeling he just lets em win the first set then crushes em in the final 2 or 3 sets when needed to win. I have a feeling this is gonna be a long match as well, both look ok health wise……really want Rafa to win today.

1. He knows better than to toy with Rafa on clay. Nt

2. 👍🏻 Nice the crowd is behind Rafa........

Djokovic leads 30-28 overall; Nadal leads 19-8 on clay, including 7-2 at Roland Garros. Nadal is 109-3 at the French Open, with a record 13 championships, and two of those three losses came against Djokovic, including in the semifinals a year ago en route to the title.

5. shocked

I shouldn't be because RG is Rafa's house, but between the injuries and him hinting about retirement the other day, I figured Djoker would win. So happy he didn't.
