Tennis: French Open 2020

[Bttzed03]

Current odds on Bitsler - Djokovic at 2.27 while Nadal at 1.67

Djokovic vs. Nadal is tricky regardless of where they play. They know each other all too well. Most players have a fear factor against Rafa but Djoker isn't one of them.

• Nadal might be the King of Clay but Djokovic has the edge H2H.
• Djoker's last win over Rafa on clay was 2016 (Rome). They've met three times on clay since then and Rafa won all their matches.

Normally, you would consider fatigue if the opponent had more sets to finish their previous match but Djokovic is still a top athlete. Five sets are nothing to these guys. What are the odds the Finals will end in four or five sets? I'm looking to bet on "Winner & Total".

Is it is going to be a 5 set thriller that takes Nadal on equal number of Grand Slams won with the great Roger Federer or will it take Djokovic winning the same number of Grand Slams level with Nadal and one behind Federer?

It understandable that Nadal and Djokovic are the two greatest tennis player of all time and they were also consider as the greatest rival in tennis history which make me believe the final of this year French open will be an outbreak.
With that been said, I dont consider Djokovic health status as an obstacle since he have today to go through different medical examination and treatment. However, Djokovic won 55% of all the game he played against Nadal so theres still chance for him to win tomorrow.

55% overall. But the odds are likely to be heavily on Nadals side on a clay court. Nadal is the king of clay court. Most of his Grand Slam wins is French Open.
I don't think Djokovic would be any match for Nadal this year too. Nadal have won 12 of last 15 French open.

The women's single too is getting excited on the first set. Kenin is giving a tough competition to Swiatek. I still think Swiatek would come victorious without a doubt.

The odds will be heavily on Nadal because he's knew as the clay king but Djokovic once make a statement after his first clay court game against Nadal he said "Nadal was beatable on clay" that he understood what to do to beat him on clay and this year French open final will show if he definitely know how to beat Nadal on clay.
For the record, the two have meet 55 times and Djokovic was able to beat Nadal 29 times while Nadal beat him 26 times.

Rafael Nadal is the undisputed best player in history in this surface and after watching the semi by Novak Djokovic where he struggled to convert the match point and loosing the set and you cannot expect the same kind of recovery against Nadal and no wonder the odds are in his favor, what ever the situation may be it will be one hell of a match and will make bets live rather than placing any bets beforehand.

~ What are the odds the Finals will end in four or five sets? I'm looking to bet on "Winner & Total".

I cannot pick who is going to win that's why I just placed a bet on both  

Either winners at over 40.5 I think is a safe bet because there's a high probability that this match will end in four or five sets with tie-breakers in between. I'd be damned if it doesn't. Winner & Total odds - Novak at 4 / Nadal at 3.43

Best of luck bettors.

In the women's division, there is a bit of shake-up, as a 50+ player lifts the trophy for this year, Iga Swiatek. She won against a disgruntled Sofia Kenin in straight sets, 6-4 6-1. She re-wrote a lot in women's tennis history.

• become the youngest women’s French Open champion since 1992 at the age of 19
• 54 the lowest-ranked woman to capture the Roland Garros title in the modern era
• She is the first teenage champion since Iva Majoli in 1997
• Swiatek also became just the second unseeded women’s Roland Garros champion in the Open era, joining Jelena Ostapenko who claimed a shock title three years ago
• She eclipsed the run of compatriot Jadwiga Jedrzejowska — the most outstanding Polish player of the interwar period — who finished runner-up at Roland Garros in 1939
• Swiatek was only the second Polish woman to reach a Grand Slam final in the Open era after Agnieszka Radwanska at Wimbledon in 2012

The future really looks bright and could be very well compete with the top 5 women's now.

Wow. Didn't see that coming. Absolute demolition job by Nadal; completely dismantled Djokovic. Remember Djokovic hadn't lost a match all year (ignoring that one default), he'd been in superb form... but this is Nadal at Roland Garros, and you can never write him off. Astonishing performance, particularly in those opening two sets. Djokovic wasn't even playing that badly, but Nadal was playing like a machine, perfect tennis. Djokovic just didn't get a chance. And by the time he started to recover somewhat in the third, it was too little too late.

There can't be many better examples of dominance in any sport than Nadal at the French. Can't believe he's won 13 here... that's longer than many whole tennis careers.

Poor spectators if they came for Nadal's matches, he expedited them all ! Always looking upset and angry at something (the cold, the sun, the wet, etc.) but always delivering !

[suzanne5223]

Some people maybe surprised by Swiatek winning the final of this year French open but her Semi final win against Podoska shows she has what it take to go against  Kenin in the final. However, I am really happy for her winning cause she rewrite some history in the women's tennis game.

I agree with you in the aspect of ignoring Djokovic lost against Nadal since he havent lost a single match this year but the two players are greatest rival and you claim Djokovic

Nadal was playing like a machine, perfect tennis.

That's because Nadal is the king of the clay court.

Day 10 Headlines:
Diego Schwartzman beats Dominic Thiem  7-6 (7-1) 5-7 6-7 (6-8) 7-6 (7-5) 6-2

Schwartzman is through to the semi-final. What an epic match lasting over 5 hours.

That was indeed a great match because after the 3rd set tie breaker I felt like Thiem has done it and Diego is done for this match. I mean he broke the Thiem's serve and got into the Tie-breaker and I felt like yeah now Diego should have the momentum but he somehow lost the breaker and I even closed the stream since I was only watching for fun and had no bet on the game itself.

But this guy is something else now I see the score and he won, just amazing because against a player who grinds as much as Thiem it must have been a great mentality to win from behind in sets and losing a tie-breaker is never a good feeling specially on clay where you have to play extra shots and get exhausted.

here you can see how three people have dominated the last years in tennis. it's really amazing.i only want 1% of the money these 3 men have won in the last few years
with this money i could live happily for years

Djokovic tried so hard to get back in to the match in the second set but it did not work but in the third he nearly won the set only lose serve at 5-5 to allow Nadal to serve it out for the championship.

Nadal beats Djokovic 6-0 6-2 7-5

Congratulation to Nadal for equalling the 20 Grand Slam record held by Federer

[Porfirii]

WOW!! what a match!!!

I have always preferred Nadal, so my point of view may be biased, but it has been a match that I have enjoyed a lot.

Congratulations Rafa!! you deserve to be the world's top tennis player

[notblox1]

I think this was probably one of the best played games from Nadal and worst from Djokovic, resulted in deserved 3-0 win result.

Even if Nadal was slight favorite before the start, nobody expected to see 6-0 in first set and all to finish in less than 3 hours, and all stats was on his side this time.

Congratulations Nadal for 100 win in Roland Garros and 13th title.

The king of clay just showed who is the undisputed king of clay while Djokovic won their last two encounters in hard court but in clay there is no competition against Nadal.

Even if Nadal was slight favorite before the start, nobody expected to see 6-0 in first set and all to finish in less than 3 hours, and all stats was on his side this time.

I did not anticipate that either to completely dominate the first set and on seeing the first two games i placed full house on Nadal as he was in his zone in his own backyard .

That's an incredible mark of Nadal's 13 victories in Paris  . Djokovic didn't won a set . I believe that Nadal didn't lose a set the whole tournament. Incredible, congratulations to Nadal that is impressive.

The "worst" part is that the prize money they win in tournaments isn't even their main income ! Sponsors pay top dollars to have them as brand ambassadors.

This statistic from the big 3 the last years is unbelievable. But also Thiem shows that also younger player come from behind and want to challenge the big 3. At Paris it looks like at a mission impossible when Nadal is healthy fit.

Perhaps Rafa is so focused on this game, specially hunting for his 20th grand slam.

Even if Nadal was slight favorite before the start, nobody expected to see 6-0 in first set and all to finish in less than 3 hours, and all stats was on his side this time.

Right, that 6-0 first set was unexpected, I thought it will be closer, could be 5 set, but then again, Rafa is unstoppable in clay and not even Djokovic can stop him even in his best days. So still the big 3 or 2 at this moment as Federer is injured, still dominates the Grand Slam. And yes, Rafa didn't lose a set in this French Open again. And his record 101-2 on clay that was close to perfection.

I mean, you are against the King of Clay in a clay setting but what a performance by Nadal! I watched the game from a third-party stream and the first set was just purely dominance by Nadal. I was slightly rooting for Djokovic to bounce bank after the second set; he also gained momentum but he fell short at the end.

Also, almost all of the serves made by Nadal resulted to him in a point from the game as compared to Djokovic. It just proves on how much dominant he is in a clay setting as compared to any other tennis professional out there.
