Nope. That's ATP 250. None of the top players bother because it's a little points. Wimbledon in 2 weeks time :) French Open is the only tournament that Nadal can win.

That's what pisses me off. Novak would definitely have won, had it not rained. Anyway, it was obviously meant for him :)

+1
Nadal was mentally finished yesterday, breaking rackets, throwing balls at the umpire!!
Lucky win for Nadal imo.
 
Yeah Dojokovic would have won it yesterday if the rain hadn't delayed the match until today.

It's fine, Djokovic will win Wimbledon. Clay is the only surface Nadal has an edge over Djokovic on.

He was up 2 sets to 1. Novak ripped through the 3rd set and was a break up in the 4th. He was in the mood. Trust me, you know when he's in the mood. He did the same against Seppi and Tsonga in the previous rounds. He was down 2 sets to 0 against them and then started playing properly. The same thing happened here.

Let him enjoy his trophy. He ain't winning another major this year. RG is the only one he can win as long as Djokovic is around.

I don't think winning 3 sets can be considered lucky. I didn't see the drama queen but it does sound like he'd have lost without the rain. I expected him to win at least 2 sets.
Well done Nadal.

Well what you missed was Nadal unable to hit the ball hard, unable to put any spin on the ball, Djokovic was him running around like a schoolgirl. The balls were heavy and wet due to the rain. Nadal only had control of the game when the balls were new. he was mentally broken, he lost his first set in the tournament, everyone know Djokovic plays the strongest mental game in the end, especially in the 5 set games. Djokovic built up all the drama only to lose it due to rain. Had Djokovic had enough time he would have taken the 4 set and Nadal wouldnt have comeback.

But fair is fair, Nadal was lucky, the overnight break definitely worked in his favour.

So...the onset of rain helped Djokovic? And then when the rain got too hard and the game called off, it helped Nadal? Is that what you're saying?

i said that nadal is quick of the blocks..nadal was refreshed and he came back and won the 4th set just like how he won the 1st 2 sets

if rain never came djokovic was hitting the sweet spot on every shot and nadal was all over
