Nadal Dethroned: Review of the Roland Garros Semi-Final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal

Andre and Owen talk in depth about Djokovic-Nadal LVIII, the momentous Roland-Garros semifinal. We focus particularly sharply on that incredible third set, which had just about all the brilliant tennis a fan can dream of. This third set captured what makes this rivalry so special and unique — these two have an ability to push the other to the very brink, and to raise their own level when put under pressure. This intense survival ability and competitiveness results in animalistic rallies and grace under pressure, and we talk about the glory this rivalry is capable of producing. What tactics did Djokovic produce to achieve the Herculean task of knocking off Nadal at Roland-Garros? And why was this Nadal loss — just his third in Paris — different than the others?
