Too many unforced errors.

Nadal needs to step in on the serve.

Vamos Novak

Few chances there for Rafa on the Nole serve and he couldn’t take them.

He is well out of sorts.

First deuce on the Nole serve.

Come on

Rafa got his forehand going there.

Come on.

Nadal really blew that one.

This could be curtains here.

A double break is the point of no return here.

The GOAT is making light work of this

Novak living rent free in Nadals head.

Sensational

Nadal hasnt got a clue what to do.

I wonder what the odds are on Djokovic winning all the slams this year?

He has been for years now. Its invariably a very one sided match up when this pair meet now. Prior to today, Djokovic had won 12 of their last 15 meetings since the US Open Final of 2013 and the last 7 of their meetings on hardcourts.

That was awful from Nadal. He’s trying to be to force it too much out there.

Game over. Djokovic with two break points.

Game over

Good if he stays motivated, injury free and keeps his eye on the ball. The same was said in 2016 when he brought up the Novak Slam at Roland Garros. Then he completely lost his focus, had that elbow injury, coaching splits and rumours of personal issues and didn’t win any of the next 8 Grand Slams until he broke his duck just over two years later at the Championship last July. He’s 32 in May. He’s in peak shape at the moment, but injuries are always a risk for a player once he gets past 28.

Wasn’t he finished two years ago. Up to his tits on peds both of them.
