Federer vs Nadal

COME ON RAFA BREAK HIM NOW!

anyone bet heavy on 3-0 ?

the lad who backed NADAL 3-0 or was going to , inorder to recoup his losses. i hope you didnt after the rain came

right, my money's on fed winning 5-7 6-7 7-5 7-6 99-97 on Tuesday at 9.25pm

PMSL lost the point

fed in trouble here

defence from another planet

so many times fed has had an overhead smash to bury and hits it straight to nadal!

I'm on the 3-1 Nadal, that last point has convinced me not to lay off

DF what a joker

@tottenhamsuck

that was me lol, i had my finger on the confirm £40 back 3-0 .... didn't in the end :) so i'm up

hahah long,df, net

YES AND RAFA LISTENED TO ME.

nice on DMACK

UEs flying everywhere now. he dropping his head again

how good was that defensive lob by Nadal and then Roger loses his service rhythm again a bit resulting in a break of serve,

3 break points in opening game, fails on all of them and now broken to love. GOAT my arse

that point to take Rafa to 0-30 on Feds last service game was unreal

lovely point

in the whole match, whenever rafa has hit a big moonball for fed to smash i would say fed has lost the point 90% of the time

i just wanna see the french crowd cry, come on rafa take the set 6-1

you just cannot hit UE federer. you just cant hit them against Nadal. too many

Can this game finish now? lol

I bought Virtua Tennis 4 and playsation move kit and wanna play it lol

fook the french frogs

brilliant point federer

Cant see nadul choking this away again. X-mas is over and that early 0-40 will haunt fed till the end.

It does feel like it's rather been a wasted afternoon. Hopefully the last set and a half will make me change my mind there...

you see NET. cannot do them net shots

that was strange point

why are they whistleing the ugly french crowd???

at the crowd

cant see even the great one coming back from this

^^^ not playing against the even greater one.

6-1 from here NAP

its always like that,some sports is matter of millimeters

Can anybody tell me how many aces theres been. TIA

6-1 is how fed will outscore nadul after coming back in this one.[:p]

PMSL Nadal won that point, very nice

wtf how did Nadal get that back?

ooh sh1t he schooled him

Nadalesque defence from Fed, still not enough

2nd serve = break now

gsm

Fed's goat will be insisting on a free transfer after this terrible performance.

anti climax. again thrashed in the end

@tottenham sucks ...LOl

I think you'll find that Feds record in slams (16 victories )is far superior to rafas (10 slams inc. this one !"! )

however with Feds career in its sunset , maybe rafa ends up with an even greater number of slam victories

wtf is this goat business. Federer got a goat???

if Fed doesn't win this game he really is going to struggle to win the match

UH OH

go fetch that . booooooooooom

3 MPS

Djokovic. how on earth did he lose to Federer? Djkovic wouldve been much stronger against Nadal

Yeah Richieboy, but how many of those 16 victories would he have gained had he been playing Rafa from the very beginning of his career?   Fed's been psychologically weak today. Who's to say that wouldn't always have been the case had he been playing better players?

6 french open titles equalling Bjorn Borg and 10th grand slam victory overall ....

fairplay to Rafa

prob still got few more slams in him

will do well to surpass the great one on 16 slam wins

GAME OVER - well done Nadal

NADAL well done. He totally ownes the Swiss guy

Well done Nadal backs, big congratulations to those who got Nadal above 1.6!

Well done Rafa. Deserved victory, despite the fact that you weren't at your best. It's just a shame your opponent couldn't have shown a little more bottle and made a contest of it.

congratz nadal and everyone who backed him or the 3-1

backers

Fedex made far too many unforced errors, to a certain extent nadal was top draw in reading some of fedex's movies but ultimately too many unforced errors from the swiss mastero. Over all I would pay to watch these two against each other any day so thats good.

Nadal tried hard to force tears, but didnt work. was walk in the park really

VAMOS   RAFA  !!!!


Hail the King

Fed had a LOT un unforced errors, you expect better.

Disappointing.

yeh because we speak spanish

*click* TV off, can't watch this C*NT win - but thanks for the money

yeah , good luck to all nadal backers and 3-1 backers ( never in doubt ) NOT

Nadal top player

NADAL is the best

DJOKOVIC & FEDEX toss up on who is second best

MURRAY will always be 4th or 5th best

woop +£300 :)

GUYS IS THERE ANY GOOD SPORTS ON UNTIL WIMBLEDON BEFORE I CASH IN ALL MY MONEY?

Well Done, Nadal!!!!!

Had Djoko got to the final, and had he brought his top game, he might have made it an interesting battle today. Rafa wasn't that great, and I do have serious doubts over his love for the game.

Incredible effort by Nadal he's an absolute magician, don't know how anyone can hate him. He is one of the greatest if not he greatest of all time. Serves me right betting against my favourite player of all time and then not trading back when he got to evens. Still can't believe Roger managed to lose the first set after basically dominating it.

Gee Totenham if you hadn't explained the blatantly obvious I would have never realised that sport is decided by millimetres.

how many times has he done him in the final of french open now? 4 or 5?

"Gee Totenham if you hadn't explained the blatantly obvious I would have never realised that sport is decided by millimetres."

And Ryan Giggs reputation ruined by his 3.5 inches

Totenham no comparison between Chokovich and Federer come back and talk when chokovich has done what rogers has in Grand salms and yes I relise you're talking about current form, you can win as many tournaments as you like its the grand Slams that cout and basically even the much improved chokovich doesn't win them.

Erm... Didn't 'Chokovich' win the Aus Open only a few months ago - beating Fed along the way??  How does that not count?

Speak english Fed ffs. No need to suck up to this crowd anymore.

yeah speak English respect to NADAL too

Got to love some of the nonsense spouted on here.

"Thank you for saving my #1 spot!"

nice NADAL dont like the french he learnt ENGLISH but cant give two fooks about the French

good man

Im sure Federer is not gay, Footiefan111, he's married with kids. Oh, you meant that as an insult? Shame you lost your money on this match then.

Feel kind of bad for Rafa though. He's won there 6 times, crowd still lukewarm over him.

well done for speaking SPANISH. the other guy spoke in FRENCH. so give him some of the spanish back

LOL FEDERER GOT A DINNER PLATE FOR BEING 2ND TO NADAL.

RAFA RAFA !!!!

champione

Why shouldn't Roger who speaks fluent french not speak it at the French open, you unbelievable little englanders?

he should sell it on cash in the attic

One slam out of how many he's contested doesnt make him a great player he's obviously improved significantly since the Aust. open and still couldn't get past Federer here, a good player but hasn't earnt the right to even be mentioned in the same breathe as Nadal or Federer and lacks their enormous heart.

Federer a class act all the way, talk about being a graceful loser and after being stabbed through the heart again by Nadal, now that's class.

Nadal has even more class

I start the bidding at £10

Both are absolute class acts.
Anyone know what was wrong with Nadal over the last few months even for most of the first set he didnt seem the same player and then Federder just seemed to play him into something resembling his top gear. He just didnt appear to have the same energy and enthusiasm even in his press conferences he sounded very down and that why his win here was even more impressive, to somehow hold everyone off when not at your peak is an indication of his true greatness.

Well you said 'you can win as many tournaments as you like its the grand Slams that cout and basically even the much improved chokovich doesn't win them.' Which, as the Australian Open shows, is being a little unfair to Djoko, since he does win them - or has on one of the two times this year the 'much improved chokovich' has contested a GS.

He also beat Fed in the US Open, and put up a pretty good performance against Nadal in the final. Nadal was, on that occasion, in stunning form. By contrast, today Nadal wasn't great, and maybe had Nad played in the US Open final the way he did today, Djoko would have got much closer to beating him than Federer did.

The sad thing is that Federer played well today for long stretches, but was pyschologically weak when it came to the crucial games - the end of the third set being the exception. So it's certainly fair to question whether Fed would have won as many titles had the likes of Nad and Djoko been up against him all through his career.

I'm not saying that Djoko's overall record should be placed up with Fed at this early point. However, you did seem to be dismissing Djoko as being vastly inferior to Fed and only doing it in smaller tournaments. Given that Djoko has beaten Fed twice in the last three Slams, he probably deserves a little more respect than that...

No he doesn't, he's proven consistently and again in the french that when the heat gets really turned up he can't handle it (there is absolutely no doubt he blinked again against Federer) and until he consistently wins  Grand Slams he can't and doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breathe as Nadal or Federer.
I've made a small fortune laying him in big matches in Grand Slams and he's rarely let me down, the same goes for Murray another who can't consistently handle the pressure of Grand Slams. No doubt chokovic is a far superior player than what he what he was but they're still big questions over his mental strength in my opinion and I stand by that judgement. Until he wins Wimbledon or the french nothing else matters and that not denigrating the US or Aust Open but the French and Wimbledon are the benchmark.
