Djokodal, Rafole, Djodal... It's Happening: Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal No. 58

Rafael Nadal has won 13 Roland-Garros titles and boasts a scarcely-believable 105-2 record on the Parisian clay. Tomorrow in the semifinals, he will duel the man to which he has suffered the most losses: Novak Djokovic. While Djokovic has had success against Nadal at Roland-Garros before, we agreed before this episode that he is a fairly heavy underdog, so rather than focus on Nadal’s greatest-ever, tried-and-true formula for success on clay, we talked a lot about what Djokovic could do to get some traction in this match. A lot is on the line here, and Andre and Owen previewed the match, discussing some tactics, history, and predictions!Follow Tennis and Bagels: Twitter @TennisAndBagels  Andre Rolemberg @RolembergAndre Vansh Vermani @vanshv2k  Owen Lewis @tennisnation (also http://racketblog.com/ )  Instagram @tennisandbagels  Facebook/tennisandbagels  Follow TNNS and communicate any bugs and fixes, or just give them a shout out: @downloadtennis--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tennis-and-bagels/messageFavourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.
