Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Rome Masters final. It's deja vu all over again as Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal meet again. The current top seed won in straight sets a year ago. Will the 'clay king' exact his revenge?

More great responses from you very patient tennis fans: Bernardo Maltez (@_bernas): "I'm a big fan of Nole and don't think Monte Carlo history will be repeated today. Djoko is hungry and back to his near best." Mariana J (@Mar_J1821) "VAMOS RAFA!" - have your say @liamhappe

For those joining us now, the Rome Masters final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal has been delayed for an hour and counting due to heavy downpour. We await further news on when they expect to be able to get started, but it's not looking good so far.

@JohnReading1: "COME ON SEXY NOVAK" - I'm sure he's flattered...

Siroos Madan (@siroos90) is on the Serb's side - when not taking exception to my choice of abbreviations...! "Nole is going to win this... moreover we are Nole's fan not djok's (joke)!!" follow @liamhappe and get involved - we could be heavily delayed by the downpour in Rome. Will we get a washout?

Are there any Djok supporters out there? Follow me on Twitter @liamhappe and have your say!

@NicolaiIversen is also rooting for the Spaniard: "rafa take it in 2 straght sets!! rafa showed in monte Carlo, that he still got hat it takes on clay. VAMOS RAFA!!"

No sign of action still. Covers remain on and further delays expected...

Max Haydn Trew (@skip_meister10) says: "VAMOS RAFA!!!! i think it'll go to three sets but the clay king will prevail!" - follow me @liamhappe and have your say! Looks like we'll need all the input possible from you guys while we remain delayed...
