Attention all planets of the solar federation...We have assumed control...We have assumed control...............
It will interesting to see if Nadal can ever challenge Roger on the grass of Wilmbledon..I doubt it,but who knows?This is great for tennis.
Great match -- Fed kinda choked that last game and the tie break, but I don't want to take anything away from Nadal's strong performance.
Over 60 unforced errors from Federer? Man...that was poor. Time to regroup for Wimbledon. At the very least, the pressure is off. Props to Nadal though. He's a great player. I hope he can find some way to translate his game to other surfaces so we can see more great matches between these two. Nadal fans frequently cite his 2-1 record against Federer on hard courts, but there's a reason why he's never gotten past the 3rd round on fast surfaces in majors. He managed to get to the 4th round of the Australian last year, but rebound ace courts are almost as slow as clay. In any case, he's still young and he can only get better.
Damn, Nadal has bigger guns this year than last. I've never seen a tennis player as physically strong as Nadal before.
You gotta love both these guys. Federer is always a class act, and from that speech Nadal gave, he's has to be the most humble champion ever. I wouldn't say that. He's arguably the most complete player to ever play the game. The best grasscourt player, the best hardcourt player, and the 2nd best clay-court player of his generation.
