French Open: Novak Djokovic out to break Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer's grip on final?

Question

Were almost halfway thru, guys. Your thoughts please....

Answer 1

If he manages to go past Rafa, he'll be too tied to even win a set against Roger.We all know he doesn't have stamina.I don think he can even outlast Rafa on a 5 set match, but if he miraculously does, his tank will be empty by the time he reaches the final.Basically its very unlikely for him to pull this off.

Answer 2

no way

Answer 3

i still think, hope and believes rafa will win RG this year!

Answer 4

is novak the lad you won the Aussie open, if he is hes very good

Answer 5

Slim chance. but even he does, i don't think he can survive federer's test in the final.  For sure he'll give a good fight to Nadal.  Federer might benefited from it if Djokovic really makes Nadal works hard.

Answer 6

He will NEVER beat Rafa on clay, unless he is injured badly.  Even then he might still beat Novak.

He is the King of Clay, and 3 time defending champ.

Answer 7

The hard part for Novak is that he might have to beat Rafa AND Roger if he wants to win the French. That's tough. I don't think he'll get past Rafa. I don't think anyone will.

Answer 8

i am very sure that novak will not be able to beat rafa on clay.

that is the court where he dominates and u cant stop him.

Answer 9

Yeah, Novak is the only guy that has a lot of promise to defeat Rafa & Fed on clay. He had done & proven so & remains in top contention. Unlike the rest that had beaten both & never did stayed on top rankings & never repeated a win on them again.

I just wish Novak would be such a good sport & never be an intimidating player by dribbling too long before he serves. That way he will be well admired & loved like the previous greats.

Good luck to all contenders.

Answer 10

Where Novak is in the draw he and Rafa will likely clash in the semifinals and though I'm sure Novak would put up a good effort I don't think he'll beat Rafa. If he does then awesome, good for him, but Rafa would have to be injured or tired or something. But even if he was then he could still beat him, Nadal is too good a clay court player, and if Novak wants to win against Rafa he's going to have to play for it because Rafa will play him to death.
