Well Done to Rafa, insane performance today, this meant so much to him, it's obivous. Smashed his way through the clay court season, deserved the victory 
Soderling, disappointing performance, he would think he could do better than that.
Now I just don't want to see clay for a long, long time.

Rafa is just an awesome player. Showed how much he wanted his title back there with his emotion. He might seem like a robot sometimes but he is a competitor and this means something to him.
Vamos Rafa!
Vamos Rafa!
Yawn.
Boring player wins boring tournament. Roll on Wimbledon, the grasscourt season is always much more riveting.
I don't think I've truly got excited about a match at Roland Garros since the year Chang won the title.

Did you find it boring when Nadal won wimbledon in 2008? I certainly didn't
Best player in the world - thoroughly deserves his 5th FO

LoL funny how it was so interesting last year when federer won it...and fedtards were wanking all over it
No doubt an incredibly impressive athlete, but he has the most tedious, one-dimensional game in the world. Seriously, even Lendl was more interesting.Did you find it boring when Nadal won wimbledon in 2008? I certainly didn't

The only matches of his I could stomach were between him and Federer off-clay when they were both at the peak of their powers. Now I don't even bother with those.
The FO was mildly interesting last year from a historical perspective. It's still a shit tournament.

Well done Rafa!! Supreme effort and hopefully he can hang onto that No.1 for a while yet!
Dominating performance by Nadal today, just flawless. Soderling's only period of control was early in that 2nd set, probably a 10 minute window where he had quite a few break points, but he couldn't convert and it crushed him. Nadal wore him down, physically and mentally, and Soderling just couldn't hang in there with Rafa's brutal hitting and retrieval skills.
5th FO, 7th GS, on his way to becoming one of, if not the greatest of all time. Back at #1 where he belongs.

here is a chance to build a huge lead on federer with almost nothing to defend till canada.
Did Federer really get to within 1 week of the all time weeks at #1 record? Considering it's a record that means so much to him, and to get so close, it's got to be shattering for him. Rafa could put a pretty big distance between the two over the next 2-3 or so months, well even until the end of the year really.
also federer is defending 3,800 points till the US open....hopefully a few early exits and a decent show my djokovic will see him drop down to number 3...i will LOL if that happens
You guys are just as bad as the Federer fanbois, you know that right?
its called sports, our champion won...we arent allowed to celebrate?? oh precious little petal you are

Fair point I guess. Maybe I'm just cranky because it's 2:30AM, and several pages of "Rafa is teh awesumz!!!!!111 Fed fanbois can suck itttt." over two threads is a little repetitive.its called sports, our champion won...we arent allowed to celebrate?? oh precious little petal you are
Anyway, I'll head to bed and quit kvetching.
after all the shit i copped over the past year people saying he is finished...its time to dish it out..

Not hurting at all. I have stated many times I like Nadal. The only player I despise is Hewitt.
U do? i am yet to read one positive nadal post from you yet
