Nadal has Djokovic as Obstacle, are you kidding?

Question

The Washington Post has headlined that Nole is the main obstacle to Rafa's quest for a fourth consecutive French crown....i dont think so...the only factor that may go against Nadal is his fitness....do you agree?

Answer 1

Yes, I agree. I think you what they mean by obstacle is  that Djokovic is the toughest player he'd likely have to face in his quest for the title.

Obstacles are not impossible to overcome, but it's not easy either.

Implying that Djokovic is an obstacle is not much of a stretch since he is the #3 player and pushed Nadal to 3 sets in over 3 hours in their last meeting.

Answer 2

I defintely think that while Djokovic is good, if Nadal has his full health, it is pretty hard seeing him lose to anyone. The only reasons why he has lost on clay in the last four years is when he is tired physically or mentally from so many matches. So I agree that Nadal's biggest obstacle is his own health.

Answer 3

I absolutely agree.

Djoko is not a challenge to Nadal on clay; he's not a cake walk either, but you can't go by Hamburg since that court plays more like a hard court and Nadal still had that blister that he was healing from. I have blisters smaller than that thing he was running around on, and I am amazed he was able to do it. Talk about tenacious.  Nah, Djoko might not even get to the semis

Answer 4

actually he is! just because he seems to be invincible doesn't mean he won't have a tough challenge because of that. hello,they did just have a very close,highly competitive match in hamburg last weekend in the semis!!! novak has also shown great form on the clay this season and if anybody at all could beat nadal it would most likely be novak.

Answer 5

its nice joke

Answer 6

Nadal and Djokovic are pretty impressive. I mean Rafa can beat Federer on clay , but he has trouble defeating the serb. I mean at the semis of hamburg rafa and nole had a 3h match, with rafa prevailing. whilst in the final of the past 2 french open federer lost in 4 sets, and this year when federer lost to nadal in monte carlo 7-5, 7-5 making over 40 unforced errors.
