Absolutely. especially with the entire crowd behind the frenchman.jon abbey said:Monfils up 3-1 now in the 4th, I think Murray is going to be happy that this one will be suspended because Monfils has all the momentum.
jsinger121 said:Murray blew Monfils right off the court in the 5th.

cromulence said:Nadal has pretty much ruined the French Open. There's absolutely no point in watching the men's draw until the final to see if maybe Djokovic can beat him. It's extremely impressive but it totally saps my interest in the tournament.
MentalDisabldLst said:I meant in the last 15 years or so, yeah. I'll admit to not knowing much at all about tennis in the 90s or earlier - besides the short shorts.
Murray and Nadal are separated by only one page in the media guide, but that's as close as the Scot came to him on Friday.
The only play-by-play necessary: Serving at 1-4 in the first set, Murray shanked a ball off his frame and it skied straight up, beyond the upper deck. Happy to be tasked with something that seemed do-able, he attempted to catch it with his racket. He whiffed, of course, perhaps losing it in the bright sun.
Sportsbstn said:As great as Nadal is playing, there is every reason to expect Djokovic to at least push him very hard, likely into a 5th set like last year's epic match at Roland Garros. Djokovic has won half of their clay court matches since 2011, including their only one to date this year. The odds on the match are close to a tossup. Djokovic can handle Nadal's spins and his service returns will put pressure on Nadal as well. Two great players in their prime, going to be a tremendous final.
+2. Watched again their final in Rome . What an appetizer.jon abbey said:
Agreed with all of this, plus both are fully rested, neither has been pushed at all in this tournament. We're in for a good one.
