The view are Roland Garos.
Similar tactics he used to beat nadal last year in Wimbledon
Boycott gets uptight about a game being delayed between Djokovic and Nadal due to the rain that Nadal won. He whinges about it regularly.
Thiem breaks in the 3rd.
Novak should be thrown out this is farcical
Djokovic should be sitting in the umpire chair.
Djokovic had just won the 3rd set when they were called off at the Championship last year just before 11pm. There’s an 11pm curfew at the Championship. You’re embarrassing yourself know with such badly informed comment.
They should have banished the two giraffes to the car park. Rafas chances were ruined. Federer also got special treatment in Australia with constant evening starts over the years.
You wrote off two giraffes on grass court last year, you called the finalist a bum and said the giraffe who made the semi finalist was a shit grass court player.
You haven’t a clue about grass court tennis.
Nadal’s chances were enhanced by getting pulled off at 11pm on the Friday night. Djokovic had largely dominated that match on the Friday night from the start had just won the 3rd set for a 2-1 lead and had all the momentum if it it had gone into a 4th set on the Friday night. Nadal actually came out on the Saturday broke early in the 4th set and won the 4th set.
General rule of thumb, overnight break helps the player who is struggling. At French last year, Nadal was a set down and a break down in 2nd to Diego Schwartzmann when the rain intervened. He won in 4 next day.
Suspended for the day. A shambles of a tournament
Sounds like you’re lauding failure again. Who was the gentlemen’s singles champion at the All England Club last year?
I’m only pointing out that you haven’t a breeze about grass court tennis. You don’t even know the key skills and type of players who succeed.
Schedule really stacked against winner of Djokovic/Thiem match now. Winner of that will have had to play quarter final, semi final and final over each of Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Nadal had a quarter final on Tuesday, three day rest to semi final on Friday, day off Saturday and final on Sunday.
Grand Slam Protocol is for the top seeded player in the top half of the draw to play first. Nadal benefiting from preferential treatment from the organisers in Paris again.
It’s Federer who they accomodated as usual.
Nadal played him today despite the fact Federer started the tournament a full day ahead of him.
I thought you were a clay court expert? Protocol at Roland Garros is for the men’s champion to open the defence of his title on the opening Monday, a courtesy which was afforded to Nadal. You’re embarrassing yourself now.
The fix is in for Rafa
Nadal has really benefited from outrageously preferential scheduling from the organisers this year. Djokovic and Thiem have been blackguarded here.
Why did they allow the no 3 seed to start a full day ahead of the no 2 seed when they were scheduled to meet. Federer was given an advantage by starting him a day earlier.
