[SamaelBANNED]

He can really do it!Vamos,Rafa!!!!!!

[Elargento]

wow, nice rafa go for it.
PS:nice endurance he runs like he hadn't play 4 days in a row. maybe a lttle additive hehe.

[NickZ3535]

what a match...

well played from both sides, could have gone either way with rafa having the 4 break points in the 5th.

Nadal should have won this match. I would say Federer played really well but to be honest Nadal looked the better player and had chances to bury Federer. I would say until Nadal got his leg strapped up Federer was beaten, but after that happened Nadal was just a bit slower around the court and didn't seem as aggressive on the ball. Nadal was better though, no doubt about it in my mind and I think he will win it next year. I think Federer has a superior service though and this kept him alive in the match.

yeah on grass serve really should matter in topspin this doesnt a lot

Perfectly indeed with you man...i clearly faved for Federer so i was worry many times during the match in seeing him suffer Nadal's personality
Luckily Fedexpress was brilliant enough in finding a great five(aboveall the second part) set...
A last thing: this grass it's quite similar to a clay court...i regret the grass of 15-20 years ago in which it was practically impossible to bounce from ground court, in which the players(sometimes both) was costricted to face near the net

Federer simply has too much game for Nadal. No surprise.

Nadal's incredible and good enough to pound 99% of players out there into submission, but like I said Federer is simply The Man and will not crack under pressure. Even more so than Nadal.

I like those words. I think that Federer and Henin have the most nerves of steel. Their mentality is amazing strong (even after a tough loss).

[jayl0ve]

Yes...I think that for all the talk about Federer's awesome offense, not enough attention is given to his defense and his mental strength. He's one of the best defensive baseliners around when he has to be, and I've never seen anybody come up with more big serves at key moments than Federer...maybe Sampras of course, but that's it.

[Q. Reese]

Yes, I agree.
