This match is ****ing insane.

Best tennis match of the year for me, by miles, that I've seen.

Really? Nadal without breaking sweat. The French is a procession in the ATP.

Nadal should be favourite but considering if Novak doesn't touch the net with his hands last year he's probably the French Open champion I think it's a wee bit closer than that.

Has Nadal broken sweat yet?

Has Nadal broken sweat yet?

Dunno watching the cricket. I'll just assume I'm right

Was dripping before he'd even started his second service game ftr. ITV did a nice ultra slow mo of it.

Lol.

Nole playing great attacking tennis.

 

[Jono]

Most players don't break that game when that call goes against them. Not Rafa.

 

[Jono]

And then he gives the break back !

 

[Cabinet96]

Most don't break back straight away!

In for at least three hours here.

Been a lot more errors in this match then there normally are between these two.

I guess it shouldn't be a big surprise, their clay seasons have been a bit patchy.

Rafa lifting his game here.

 

[Cabinet96]

Jeez, that miss is reminiscent of hitting the net last year. Could all go wrong quickly if Novak doesn't lift it.

Incredible start to the set for Rafa though. Flawless forehands.

Novak struggling to sit down on his chair. Da ****?

 

[Cabinet96]

Thing about Novak is that he can find stuff from nowhere. Couple of incredible returns this game.

 

[Cabinet96]

That's the game. Massive hold for Rafa.

 

[Jono]

Novak gonna kill somebody
