    True, both players are very, very hard to root against.

    What a match! Thought it might be a quick match after that first set, but nice to see Rafa bounce back.

    So many topspin groundies to Fed's backhand today. On to Queens...

    This is a good sports Sunday.....

    Now the ultimate sports sunday was when the Astros won a playoff game and the Texans beat the Titans for the first time.

    Which is why Federer still has a good chance to win a French and beat Nadal. Nadal is pretty much playing the perfect game w/o unforced errors. If Federer can improve his backhand against heavy heavy topspin shots like Nadal's he'll have a very good chance. I mean he did take him to 5 sets in Rome.

    But everything is easier said than done. It's not often you see someone who hits to your backhand 85% of the time like Nadal did and with his stronger wing too. Forehand to backhand exchanges gotta take a toll on you after a while which is why GOOD lefties are hard to play against.
