Well, he won't have to play until Wednesday or Thursday, but he might just drop.

At what point do they give up on it and call it a draw, I wonder
(I'm kidding)

That sucks, I start my first day of work tomorrow. I wonder if any of the sports radio stations will be narrating it during my commute. Fat chance...

If they kept playing and weather was fine...Djokovic would have won that. Nadal was shaking and pissing himself. This rain has given Nadal the rest he needed. Stupid weather. Stopping Djokovic from his Destiny.

Because he was losing.

He wasn't happy that they were making them play in the rain for so long, but he didn't start getting angry about it until he started losing.
Typical Nadull.

I hate rain so much right now.

If I had to rank things, it would be at the bottom of the list at this moment.

Yeah, forecast is for rain pretty much all day tomorrow. I'd be surprised if they managed to play.

No chance to play tomorrow because of rain, I agree.

*Sigh.
Rain saves John Cena when Djoker had him on the ropes. But its good to know Nadal won't be beating Djokovic on a faster paced surface anytime soon.

It was funny how Nadal wasn't complaining at all about the rain until Djokovic suddenly started beasting and won 8 straight games.

French Open needs to stop being cheap and get a freaking roof and more importantly LIGHTS. Geeeeez.

So what's the weather looking like, guys? Any chance of play?

Why the HELL is this being aired on NBC Sports Network instead of someplace reasonable?

Fortunately we have that channel but i was going to have to spend ages looking for a stream otherwise. I hate trying to sort through the crappy streaming sites to look for one that works.


This whole tournament has had bloody stupid coverage.

Would've been great to see this get to a 5. Rain would've wrecked it though.

Respect to both players, but man, that match, for one that's guaranteed to have had big impact on tennis history, was utterly ruined by the conditions and delays. I do wonder how many French Opens Nadal will win before he's done. Could see it reaching double figures.

Onward to Wimbledon!

Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner

"Rafa was a better player."

This guy's humility is an inspiration and an outrage at the same time.

Why can't he just deny the reality of the situation like everyone else who loses?

Clay tennis isn't even really tennis, anyway.

I mean who the f*** uses clay for anything serious these days, right?

Question for you guys

If the match wasn't canceled yesterday who would have won?

That's the worst part.

We'll never know.

(But it almost assuredly would have been a more satisfying finish either way.)

"The real question is, if Final Fantasy skips FF7, does Cloud do as well?" - AlecTrevelyan006. I was ThanatosDAD in another life...

One more French Open is enough for Rafa to become the man to have won a single Slam title more times than anyone else (that is to say, more times than Sampras has won Wimbledon). This record would hold even for the pre-Open Era events.

--

And it's not unlikely either. Jesus that would mean 8 FO titles and 8 Monte Carlo titles. Madness

W/e wimminz have won more of one slam.

Don't say that's easy too, look how crappy today's wimminz are.
