RAIN RAIN... looks like they will forced to schedule match for tomorrow 😀

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

Today's schedule:

Nadal v/s Djokovic (1:30 AM tonight)

Match got cancelled yesterday (Sunday) due to rain.

So Nadal has to wait 1 more day to try for his ninth slam OR can Djokovic make his 2nd?!

 

[amish]

Nadal wins in 4 sets

6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2

Djokovic was tired after 3rd set. He still has long way to be fit enough to play back to back 5 setters.

So Nadal wins 9th grandslam

Looks like 14 by Sampras and 16 by Federer are under threat.

 

[Sushubh]

true. nadal has 4-5 years on federer i believe so he has enough time to overtake federer. who seems to have lost it. 😕

 

[amish]

Yes Federer has one more year to add 2 more slams in his tally (if he can), once person reaches 30 fitness issue can come up.

 

[Sushubh]

i think his issues started just as he became a dad!

Djoker this time again.BTW where the hell is Juan Martin Del Potro?

 

[rockingtushar]

It will be either Djokovic or Federer. Probably Djokovic considering the deadly form he is in.

----------

Djoker this time again.

BTW where the hell is Juan Martin Del Potro?

Del Porto got injued a year back and ever since then his career has gone down the hill. 🙁

 

[moindear]

Del Potro has teh height, serve and a good game to challenge. Hope he comes back soon!

Juan Martin Del Potro - ATP Rankings breakdown

This year he has won 2 minor tournaments (ATP250 level) but not much success in ATP 500, 1000 or Grandslams.

Djoker this time again.

Just incase by again you mean that he won in 2010 too then nope, he reached final but lost to Nadal
