IMHO; I think Nole should let this set go and reorganize himself for the next set as this might affect him mentally.

1st set Nadal , i expect the game to be more interesting as djokovic will never surrender , 5 sets going to end this final , both players are in good shape also , , so let the game continue
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by gyde(m): 11:10am On Jan 29, 2012
This is will a battle royale,I hope rise to the occasion mentally,losing to someone 6times in tour level finals can surely affect

I hope femzy is watching how his noles is gonna fall †н!$ aft , Si tht next time Ʊ analyse a game not support someone because he won last 6meetings,a looser is always more motivted to win than †ђξ last winner
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by gyde(m): 11:24am On Jan 29, 2012
Tough hold for nadal there,if he could only get the second set,then his chances are bright indeed
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by RuuDie(m): 11:25am On Jan 29, 2012
I sensed in the first set that Nadal was somewhat forcing Novak to play forehand shots. . . . .is that somehow a weakness in the Serb!?
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by gyde(m): 11:28am On Jan 29, 2012
Nole double handed backhand is d best in d game,and Nadals backhand is a bit sluggish,his best chance is to use is dependable forehand spin against Nole's forehand
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by fredoooooo: 11:31am On Jan 29, 2012
djokovic break ,3-1

Which I think Nadal did most of the first set, he was putting a bit of spin on the ball too. . . . cool!

Looking at both guys body-language wise, Nadal is really, really, really playing like he wants this!!!
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by gyde(m): 11:35am On Jan 29, 2012
Of cos he wants it!,after losing the last 2 major finals to the serb,if he loses this one again-am not sure he will ever recover mentally to measure against Nole

Nothing is as deadly as Nole's forehand when he's hitting them hard and flat
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by femzy(m): 11:38am On Jan 29, 2012
This match has just begun. Should be a 5 Setter
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by gyde(m): 11:39am On Jan 29, 2012
Nadal's forehand topspin is deadly,but mate,Nole's backhand neutralizes wella
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by femzy(m): 11:40am On Jan 29, 2012
3 setis verrrryyyy KEY
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by gyde(m): 11:42am On Jan 29, 2012
Very key,Nadal just let this 2nd set slip away soo easy,now Nole has the momentum

You can say that again  but most peeps like me think it's Andy
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by gyde(m): 11:48am On Jan 29, 2012
True,Andy has a sweet backhand too,the main about his is that he uses it well on down the line shots,he doesn't use cross court as effective as Nole's
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by member67023: 11:58am On Jan 29, 2012
