No, if anything he'll be more determined.

Yeah that´s the problem for Fed, Nadal after losing against him on clay is gonna be an unstoppable TORO. Now he´s anxious to meet Fed again.Fed would have more chances if he had not won in Madrid.
It would be UNbelievable if he beats Nadal twice on clay in 1 month. Only Djokovik can stop him ( my opinion)
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Djoker has got to find a way to get off the court faster in slams---his stamina issues are too large....i cant remember correctly but when he won the Aussie Open he probably didnt spend much time on court in each match.....if he plays more than 1 5 set match in RG you can pretty much say that by the time he makes it to QF's he will be burnt out...IMO
MURRAY?!?!

You´re probably right :tu . We´ll see what happens. It´s true there´s a big difference between Grand Slams and the rest of tornaments due to the best of 5 sets matches.

Nadal said yesterday that everybody´s talking about his probably final against Roger, but he´s only thinking of passing 1st round hehehe, he´s right, step by step and little by little.

true djokovic has a low amount of stamina. A couple of 5 set marathon will really do him in :swg

Hey if some people think Fed can beat Nadal at Roland Garros and get the title Andy can do it too :c :lol: :lol: :lol: .
Speaking seriously, he´s improved his game a lot on clay. I predict he will reach quarter finals


Hey man remember when u got me on posting bad things about nadal, well i take offense to this post about federer, he has beat nadal on clay so people arent crazy for thinking that it can happen

Come on mate. You have to have some inner feeling to root for someone, even a country for crying out loud. :P

wow, relax - he didn't even say anything remotely inappropriate. after seeing fed get raped by Nadal four years in a row at the French, I'd actually rather see Roddick play him in the final, it might be more interesting.
