French Open 2013

I think Safin was a more talented player than Tsonga... but Marat was also a complete headcase. Probably the most emotionally unstable player in the history of the sport.


Fun fact: Marat's sister, Dinara Safina, was also ranked #1 in the world at one time.

Okay, so who is better between Rafa and Djokovic overall? I know Djokovic had a career year last year(or the year before?) and Rafa has been slipping/injured the past year or two..but I haven't really been following since maybe 2009-2010...

This question is hard to answer, because Nadal just returned from injury, and although he's played fantastic, he's also only played 1 non-clay tourney (Indian Wells), and has actually lost to Djoker on clay (Monte Carlo).

I would personally still give Nadal the edge on clay, and Djoker the edge on grass and hard.

people are so high on nadal and just disrespecting djokovic imo djoker is the anti nadal simply because his ground strokes is one of the best. and djoker service game is not a joke as well.

i still have djoker to win it all

Anyone's got a decent stream for the match?

To sum up, tsonga is one of the most talented players of all time, he just struggles to put it all together consistently. A guy is compare him too would be Marat safin but with much much better movement.

Tsonga isn't quick enough to be "one of the most talented players of all time," just like Monfils can't hit hard enough, but always gets ragged on by American commentators for not living up to his so-called astronomical GOAT potential. I think there's a racial element to it.

Novak has gotta work on those overheads. God those were embarrassing.

What a match. Nadal's court coverage is still unreal. I wanna go play tennis now!

[yobore]

taxing game. Both the other guys have played really short matches all tournament. If their match can be finished today with the light the winner may have an advantage there.
