RAFAEL NADAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Oh my freaking goodness, Nadal you are an absolute legend!!!!!

Best match of all time.

 

[red+black]

I threatened to go to bed and get some sleep, but I just had to stay up and watch the end. What an amazing match! Well done to both players.

Nadal the first man since Borg to win the French and Wimbledon in the same year.

Fed's #1 ranking is in danger over the next couple of months.

 

[showdownhero]

he is so modest what a true champion in every sense of the word

 

[mr_cellotape]

Oh FFS... QUICK QUICK get the today show on!!!!!!!!!

Not that I expect anything better from Nein...

 

[Wilso]

From the highs of watching Wimbledon to the lows of Karl Stefanovic

 

[showdownhero]

wow I can't say how happy I am that they have cut straight to Stevie J

Get real sport off FTA enough is enough

On that sour note, I'm off to bed. Catch ya

Best tennis match I've seen in 25+ years! Nadal deserved the win. And kudos to ch. 9 for staying with the presentation.

Mate they showed the presentation what else do you want??

 

[mr_cellotape]

Mate they showed the presentation what else do you want??

A recap and match highlights wouldn't have gone astray. Is another 15 minutes of the today show really that important?

 

[red+black]

See girls, this is why you shouldn't be paid the same amount

Damn straight. Women's tennis is a joke, a mere sideshow. And they complained when they were getting 95% of the men's prizemoney

 

[Korn]

geez it got really dark at the end!!

The last time a player have won both the french open and wimbledon in the same year was back in 1980. Really amazing effort by Nadal!

 

[rupert pupkin 87]

Wow what a match.
One of the greatest sporting events I've had the pleasure watching. Two of the greatest ever to play their sport this was the best of the best just going at each other it dosn't get much better than that anywhere.
Nadal deserved to win, federer didn't deserve to lose both should be congratulated for putting on a show that will be remembered and reverred for a long time

Yeah I've already said that like 3 times in this thread.

If anyone wants to watch it again, it's on Fox Sports 3 at 8am.

Going to record it to DVD and watch it over and over again. Best match of all time.

RAFA!

Federer.

 

[red+black]

Excluding the French, this is the first Grand Slam final that Federer has lost.

Prior to this match, he was 3/3 at the Oz, (0/3 at the French), 5/5 at Wimbledon and 4/4 at the US Open.

____ I'm so tired and I'm supposed to go to work now

Had one red bull, will probably go in and have a 2nd. Maybe finish work early, come home, and sleep then.

But shit, what a match

 

[apollo_creed]

I've got a week off from work and no need to get up early but I went to bed at 4 after Federer won the 4th set. I thought he'd win.

But I'm so glad he didn't!

Get that into you Federer
&
your annoying wife
&
the even more annoying Gwen Stefani and husband duo. (who couldn't possibly have been any more annoying if they'd tried)

The better man won.

The real man won.

 

[MRobbo]

I woke up at 4:30 this morning and watched it from there. What a match well done to both players and to get the match over with about 20 minutes of light left.

Also congrats to Sam Stosur who won the Mixed Doubles title with American Bob Bryan when they defeated American Mike Bryan and Katrina Srebotnik form Slovakia 7-5 6-4 in a match that lasted just over an hour and finished at 9:34pm local time (6:34am AEST). Pity Channel Nine didn't stay for that.

Once I saw Gwen Stefani in the crowd I wanted Nadal to win. What a tool.
