Like an avatar bet or something? I don't really see that being beneficial to either of us.

Yeah and I held my hands up there, he proved me wrong but Nadal is Nadal and clay is clay. He ain't beating Rafa in a best of 5 at Roland Garros. Nadal is playing scarily good right now.

Djoko isn't playing as well as he did last year. And he has to if he's going to stand a chance against Nadal in the final.

The awesome thing about Djokovic is that he's been so exciting and overcoming of people with "lists why he shouldn't win"

he's the most likable tennis star in a long time

I feel sorry for all the other players, especially who reach quarters n semis, time n time only those 3 guys keep playing on the last day, they work their ass off to reach final 4 n get destroyed

You like Novak, we get it.

You like to think he gets everyone mad, we get it.

Do you care to contribute anything else other than those 2 things? Do you not get bored of it? Seriously? Talk about the other guys in the draw, what are your thoughts on the womens side? You know, just something a bit different.

Think it would be cool if Novak could push Nadal at the French but its hard to see this year. Already dropped a set while Nadal is ripping off 17 games in a row against players like Monoco.

Ferrer/Murray in the quarters should be awesome. Know Ferrer is doing well if you tune in and Murray is clutching his back.

This year Novak didn't do as well on clay as last year. Nadal beat him easily on both tournaments where they met and both of them had a faster clay. In a best of 5 with the slow clay of Roland Garros, Nadal is a big favorite. Plus Nadal has been crushing, while Djoko hasn't and Nadal won't have to play Federer along the way.

I think most people in this thread admit that Djokovic is amazing and when I followed the Australian Open thread, most people had Djoko as a favorite (with a few thinking Federer was the favorite), so the argument about people saying Djokovic will lose every time is simply false.

Categories of tennis fanbois:

1. Fedtards: they believe Rafa always gets easy draws, Fed always gets tough draws, and Rafa is on PEDs.

2. Rafatards: they believe Rafa would win every slam he's ever played if he hadn't been injured.

3. Novaktards: they believe everyone else hates novak and are super emobitches about it.

4. Murraytards: they're all from the UK, and hilariously delusional. Unfortunately, many of them are profesional tennis commentators.
