Wimbledon final *** official thread ***

Nadal (2) vs Djokovic (1)

Djokovic has lost once this entire year beating Nadal 4 times already. However Nadal is looking to win wimbledon for a third time and win a 11th Grand Slam.

Prediction?

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Rafa will win he is a beast.

Retirement due to injury, match won by default

 

[Muzzy]

This could deffo go either way IMHO... Depends who wants it more on the day!

 

[Durlston]

I backed Djokovic before the semis @ 9/4 so I've had a couple of modest cover shots on Rafa to win 3-1 and 3-2. The more sets Djok wins, the more I'd collect but I'd lose the lot if the Spaniard won in straight sets. Can't see that happening though.

 

[Icy Gull]

Make my Sunday to see Nadal lose. I'll particularly enjoy watching the faces of his arrogant uncle and hangers on. Great player but his whole entourage strike me as extremely cocky, with justification obviously.

Going to be 5 sets i feel

 

[patchamalbion]

it's so tough to call but im edging for Djokovic in 4

djokovic has not been at all brilliant all tournament, the way rafa raised his game against murray and that he moves a lot better on the grass makes him big favourite in my eyes. Nadal in straight sets or 3-1.

 

[nomoremithras4me]

2 superb professionals at the top of their game. Will be a great final imo and i would wager neither would use pathetic excuses about broken toes if they lose!

 

[patchamalbion]

great start

 

[Finch]

Djokovic is on fire, beating Nadal from the baseline. Can never count Nadal out though, hes a fighter.

Nadal to lose in 3 but I hope I am proved wrong

 

[patchamalbion]

Nadal to lose in 3 but I hope I am proved wrong

to be fair its a tad easier predicting that at 1-0 and 3-0 up

 

[brightonmark1234]

i thought it before the match started

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Henman sounds like Jack Dee

 

[Durlston]

Rafa breaks serve in the third. Glad I've got a profit coming my way whatever happens now.

 

[patchamalbion]

jesus this is getting interesting.....

 

[brightonmark1234]

4Th set now

 

[SirElliotBennett]

Nadal pulls a set back. Hope it goes all the way.
