Mens Final

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a men’s final to end all finals between Rafael Nadal with a French open record of 68 wins and one loss against Novac Djokovic, a legend as he has won all 4 grand slams in one calendar year they face of in what should be a very close encounter today. Djokovic was here last year when he lost to Andy Murray.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Djokovic did seem to settle better but Nadal did get the first break point at 1-1 and he got the break to lead by 2 games to 1 all games went on serve so Nadal was leading by 5 games to 2 and knew he would serve for the set as he broke a second time and had a firm grip on this match. Nadal took the set by 6 games to 2 and there were some good shots in it but not amazing one.

 

The second set went on serve for the first 5 games In the second set Djokovic hits an amazing shot on Nadals back line and was in my opinion the best shot so far and a brilliant rally with a simple slow shot Djokovic then gets the break with a 54 shot rally incredible how he has this in him.  Nadal then breaks straight back and put pressure on Djokovic.

Djokovic broke again to leave the score 5-3 directly after but the man was going to loose the point about 10 times from being 40-15 down to Nadal having so many advantages you would think he would know how to kill off a game but Djokovic never gave up and on the game.

 

Djokovic then won the next game and won the set but he did not have complete control of this one either but Nadal did hit a shot too long which gave Djokovic set pointand what a shot down the line he hit to win it. Djokovic wins the set 6-3 and we are level 1-1 in sets

 

 

 

Djokovic then breaks to love in the first game in the third with a few quality shots.  The next 4 games go with serve. In the 6^th game Djokovic gets into the air to hit the ball down and you would thing do they get training with that. Nadal then breaks back and you wonder how Djokovic made these mistakes with the form that he is in. 

 

After 2 quality points by Djokovic,  Nadal gets point of the match so fas as there were quality shots everywhere going from the backline to coming in for the short pass to going slightly wide what a point and what a game. Another poor error from  Djokovic but to be fair Nadal did hit an awesome return. Djokovic then hits a long shot and looses the set 6-4 Nadal had the advantage again.

 

 Djokovic then pulls out a miracle shot from a 54 shot rally incredible but looses this game which I feel is very hard. As Nadal breaks early to lead 3-0 in the fourth it looked like Djokovic was out of this match. Nadal then breaks again to lead by 5 games to 1 and to serve for the set. Nadal then had the serve and led 40-15 he had 2 chances and only needed 1 winning the set by 6 games to 1 and winning the us open.
