6–4, 6–3, 2–6, 7–5 (year 2012) 3–6, 7–5, 6–2, 6–4 (year 2014) Only position of numbers changed. Final #nadalvsnovak @rolandgarros Beauty!

sorry, didn't get the position of numbers. my eyes are deceiving.

another notable point mentioned during the commentary and in a news article was that nadal won the match with djokovic's double fault in 2012 and 2014. what a co-incidence!!

Who knows! As far as as Rafa is concerned, Wimbledon could be a first round loss to an unranked qualifier, or another championship! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Queens has been a lot more exciting this year than Halle (not usually the case because Halle tends to play a bit faster). Lopez has been in outstanding form and yesterday's match against Stepanek was a trip down serve and volley lane. Dimitrov is also showing signs of maturing and realising his potential. Should be a great final though it might get over quickly if Lopez finds his serve...as he has throughout the tournament so far.
