2022 ROLAND GARROS

Beautiful serving from Novak to save some bps here

Another deuce, Djoko just isn't letting go

this set is approaching last yr’s set 3

Holds on: 4-4

Breaks and 2nd set Djoko

Nadal breaks straightaway though.

Not as good a set as Novak dropped his level a bit. Nadal to serve for it.

these guys are both so amazing its a true joy to watch them compete @ this level

Yup it is, and Djoko breaks. Nadal isn't happy the umpire overruled the line judge, but it looks correct.

To serve for the set

Back on serve!

Epic first point to start this TB!

Nadal is playing some superb fhs here. 3-0

Djoko is surely done. That was wild. 5-1

Lol @ that drop shot. MPs to spare for Nadal

Well done Rafa, wow.

Brilliant last point!

VAMOS ! legend

That was something.

Still a bit wired after listening to the radio commentary for the last hour. Went to Twitter to see some clips and it seems like someone had been streaming it live the whole time? (It was Bartoli interviewing Rafa by the time I got there).

Phew.

If Zverev wins the title, he's #1 on June 6.
If he doesn't, Medvedev is #1 on June 13 (when all the points from RG 2020-21 drop).

And with no points at Wimbledon, whether banned or otherwise, one or the other will stay there for a while - while Djokovic, Berrettini, Hurkacz, Shapovalov go backwards (and Fed vanishes).

thought rublev was the better player in the 5th but that tie break by cillic was at an incredible level.

"Zverev hit 25 winners to Nadal’s 11 in that epic opening set but also had 26 unforced errors to Rafa’s 11. Those four double faults from Zverev didn’t help either. Nadal didn’t have any."

Such a shame that Zverev is playing at the end of Nadal and Djoko's career. He would've bagged maybe one slam.

oh no!

could only hear the radio announcers describe the replay of the injury. yeesh.

Yeah, sounds awful.

Iga Swiatek so insanely good - 35 match wins in a row

Yeah she was so fierce and on point, just never any real opening for Gauff. Be interesting to see if she can carry it over to other surfaces.

Why you gotta beat poor Ruud?
Don’cha know he’s human too?

That did not look like a guy on the verge of retirement.

now rooting for him to win the calendar grand slam tbqh (w full knowledge he may not play wimbledon)
