Nadal/Djokovic semi-final showdown ? Argh :P hehe?

Question

Im sooo nervous!!! Its going to be a very tough match, i reckon Rafa can win it tho. He`s been playing good throughout this tournament and hasnt dropped a set, but that doesnt help my nerves lol Novak is a good player and well....argh!!! What do yous think the outcome will be?

Vamos Rafa :)

Answer 1

It could go either way, but on clay I can't see Djokovic taking 3 sets off Rafa, but stranger things have happened.

Should be a good match either way.

Definitely Vamos Rafa

Even if Rafa wins the semi, Federer could do it, I hope not but you never know.

Answer 2

He indeed has foot problem, didnt you watch his matchs on RG? In one of them vs Jarkko Nieminen he got threatman for the foot and you could see it, it really looks awful, but from what I have seen him play it doesnt bothers him at all. I'd say he will win, maybe it's going to be though, but I really can't see Rafa loses from anyone at the moment, not even Federer (although I would like that:P)

here is a pics of his foot..warrning doesnt look pretty..

Answer 3

I agree, I think Rafa will win.  I have just been reading about how he has a foot problem and is trying to avoid long matches, which he has done so far this tournament.  His play is even better than last years Roland Garros (or so say commentators!).  Hopefully it will be a good match with Djokovic but I think Nadal will win.

I think he will win the tournament!

Answer 4

I think Rafa is the favorite and will probably win, but I will be cheering for Djokovic.  He'll have to play the match of his life though to beat Rafa.

Answer 5

i will enjoy this contest but rafa knows the court well and has'nt lost at roland garros. The pressure will be all on djokovic to implement his game on rafa's without making errors. Djokovic has a tendency sometimes to get nervous and drop in a free point here or there. This will be decided whether djokovic can hold his service games and put pressure on rafa in his service games.

I don't think this one will be decided in the opening set like many. Simply because Djokovic has confidence and has the ability to step up his game when needed.  

But all in all, If rafa is allowed to dominate with his forehand then he will win but it is very hard to find a strategy against a player like rafa coz he gets every ball back.  im 60/ 40 on this one, i think rafa will edge it perhaps first set etc rafa 6-4 6-7 6-3 7-6.

Answer 6

I know; I have butterflies in my stomache too. I want Rafa to make tennis historyby winning the Final but first he has to get there!! The Djoko is a tough proposition.

Hawaii must be referring to the blister which is still infected and giving him trouble. He's wearing a special bandage with  circular padding and a hole. Yes,the short three set matches have benefited him but now he's up against a BIG GUN.

This time tomorrow i won't have any fingernails left!!

Answer 7

It's going to be Djokovic but it will be a tough match. This is Djokovic's year he is gona be world no.1 byt the end of this year too.

Answer 8

This one is gonna be easier than the Hamburg one, bc Djoker isn't that good this tournament, and if you saw Rafa playing in RolandGarros, you would know that it would be hard to take a set from him.
