Grand Slam Roland Garros 2019

Amazing. I thought Nadal had withstood the best from Thiem in the 1st set and would win in straight sets.

I suspect Nadal would still be a very strong favourite with the bookies. A Thiem win would be fantastic for the sport.

Arrhhhh terrible service game

 

[SunGirl89]

First and last toilet break for Nadal. You only get one.

I like Thiem and Nadal.

Far out. When Nadal retires Thiem should win most of these

^ good Rafa can pee in a bottle courtside if he's not allowed to run to the back

 

[ItsGameTime]

Both of these guys much more likeable than Barty. Even Federer is...

Tsitsipas is very good on clay too

 

[FreoRicci]

Nadal now 3-0 up in the third. Nadal on a vengeance now

Thiem’s lost it this set. Needs to improve his concentration to win these slams. He has got the game to win

Rafa serving first to begin the 4th set
If Domi has a toilet break up his sleeve now would be a good time to use it

Vamos Rafa

I switched off after the 2nd set. Watching England v Switzerland on Optus Sport and keeping an eye on the cricket.

Rafa too good. Great effort from Thiem.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bring jadav back

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lol this match is so over

 

[FreoRicci]

Goes from 7-5 to winning this. Incredible. Thiem seemed to be ready to take advantage after that second set. Nadal just locked down.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Nadal wins easily

Vamos

 

[juice t]

Very nice of Rafa to give Domi a set

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bakers Dozen next year lol

 

[juice t]

So if Rafa manages to win next year he'll reach 100 wins at Roland Garros

Thiem has the game to beat Rafa. Certainly expect the crown to pass on in the coming 2-5 years

Rafa would need to have a very bad day to lose to Thiem at the French

Congratulations to my man Rafa, King Of Clay on his 12th French Open Title.
I was pretty confident he was going to go on and win it after the 3rd set finished, as I was an hr away from home and decided to stay there till it was all over, as I wanted to so badly see him win it and also the presentation.
I’ve only just got home about 15 minutes ago and had to come on for a quick moment but going to sleep now very very happy! Got my two predictions right, the best, Ash and Rafa! Goodnight
