I saw Rafa, for the first time, going nuts and losing his mind when Djoker won 8 consecutive games..


Nadal goes nuts when he complains to the chair umpire about things. He doesn't hold back or try to act polite. He has done it every year of his career 1-3 times per year I think. He had good reason to in the RG final, because the balls were playing like heavy sponges. I know its ok to play in the rain on clay, but not for entire sets. If the ball is like a heavy sponge it is impossible to properly utilize top spin/kick. So that would mean only the flat-hitter can play with any normality. I'm not sure if you want a French Open decided that way.

I really want to see a Djokovic-Nadal final. Roland Garros has such spectacular tennis surfaces, and always provides a hell of a tournament. There's no reason for me not to expect the game's two best players to make it to the final round.
