French Open 2021

Floppybits

A few days away from the second Slam of the year. I guess for the men's Nadal has to be favourite. Is there anyone that beat him here? As for the ladies for me its wide open with 3 or 4 players that can win. I see Osaka has said she is not doing any press at the French Open for her mental health. I don't see her winning it.

The third set was well over 1 1/2 hours long. McEnroe won both the 1983 and 1984 Wimbledon finals in less time than that.

Because he had the good sense to play well from the start and not wait until the 3rd to wake up.

Backed Nadal at 7/4 to win tournament there at end of 3rd set.

I wonder will djkovic take a tactical toilet break if he loses this set

Standard has been unreal since the middle of the third.

MisterAnarchy

That was a poor game from Nadal.
He looks like he could be cramping up.

Good match. Nadal fading though, Djok looks fitter and stronger.

EagererBeaver

Some quick turnaround there after going 0-2 down.

Some people have even turned it off and are rewatching Pistol Pete Wimby matches instead.

(who wasn't even in one classic final there)

Just 'not up to snuff.

The stamina of Djokovic is incredible.After two tough matches in previous rounds

MisterAnarchy

Nadal looks like he is injured.

Djkovic now odds on favourite to win the French open!

Enjoy these lads while you can.

They won’t be around forever….

And there’s fook all following them.

Is Nadal limping a bit since he took the strapping off his ankle?

walshb

I said Nadal would not win FO 2021!!!

The one time ever that Federer is up for Djokovic?!

He's going to do accomplish one of the very toughest feats in sport.

(98.5% winning record heretofore over 5 on the muck)

Amazing to come back after that insane blitz out-of-the-blocks by Nadal which would have broken the spirit of pretty much any other tennis player.

Looks as fresh as a daisy now.
I hope we dont find out in years to come that he wasnt clean.

Come on…

He’s a professional athlete…

They’re all fit as fiddles. Paid millions to do nothing but practice and play..

Wow. I know a certain Swiss who's pleased with that result!

Maybe, maybe not. If Djokovic wins here, and then at Wimbledon, the three of them would be tied at 20 each. And Federer has not won the US Open since 2008.

I'll save you the suspense.

All elite level athletes juice.

Djokovic slowly but surely making the endless GOAT debates between Nadal and Federer irrelevant.

EagererBeaver

Unreal high level from Djokovic after it looked like it was going to be last year's final all over again.

God I hate him.

I'm not saying he is taking something but how many times have we seen him get fresher as matches go on.
I've never seen anything like it in any sport.

Is he still on the gluten free diet ?

A great match.

Good to see Guy Forget again.

Even if he ever tests positive we'll never know. All that stuff is swept under the rug in tennis. Sharapova only caught because of that dumb press conference.
