Pretty ****ing genuine isn't he
He's shattered. Shows how much this meant for him. Even after all his Grand Slam wins, he still wants just one more.

All I can say after seeing this match, and this presentation, is that I can't wait to see these two guys go at it again in other Slam finals this year.
We are getting to see possibly the greatest player of them all, and one who is already stamping himself as one of the greatest of them all going head to head in matches like this. There is a genuine respect between the two of them on and off the court and it's a pleasure to watch

This is Sampras v Agassi all over again, except Rafa is even stronger mentally than Andre was.
Exactly. They showed a lot of class - particularly Rafa.
But it was a messy presentation wasn't it? By the time they got around to Rafa, it was like all his excitement was gone. How does he get up there and celebrate a magnificent victory after his opponent has spent a minute blubbering in front of the microphone.
I'd prefer to see the loser disappear off the court, allow the victor their moment in the spotlight to do whatever they want, however they want. The winner shouldn't have a frown on their face and apologise to the crowd for winning!!!
Wow simply amazing stuff. Well done Rafa
Really we can talk all day about who the better player is but really we should all just be grateful we get to see them both.

Feel so sorry for Fed.
Pfft, blow it out your ass. Anyone who feels sorry for a guy thats going to win more GS than anyone in history is a dead set moron.

It's just seeing him so emotional I think.
He just can't help but cry in the presence of Rod Laver!
I dont feel sorry for Fed, he can dish it out but he cant take it..i am sure he will slip in those barbed **** comments somewhere inbetween again.Move over federer, rafa is the new king.
I'll go against the grain and say I'm a bit sick and tired of seeing Federer cry all the time. If everyone he has defeated in a final cried, we wouldn't have a water shortage. The guy has won 13 slams, 1 less than Sampras who has the most in history. It's not the end of the world, he lost a tennis match. He still has many chances to win slams. So yeah, enough with the tears. This moment is not all about Federer.
well said mate..completely agree...harden the **** up.

Well done Rafa!!!!!
The match wasn't as epic as the Verdasco semi though. Rafa destroyed Federer physically and mentally. Great gesture when he put his arm around him. I love the guy!

Ditto, goes with any big sporting event really.
On the other hand, NAB Cup starts in 5 days.. any footy is good footy.

Great and big victory for Nadal, I'm not too sure how Federer is going to react to this mentally, he played such a poor 5th set, it'll be tough. If he wants to regonised as the best player of all time (which is a stupid thing really to say) then he needs to play better in the big moments. Can completely understand the reaction from roger there at the presentation, nice to see Rafa was able to take it the right way.
I don't really like Nadal but huge respect to the guy What stamina to be able to keep going, and when he looked like he was slightly flat he picked himself up again. That no.1 spot is his for a long time now barring injuries of course.

Fed's emotions are just on overdrive around laver. Kinda like how bruce mcavaney was in the presence of carey... though instead of crying, bruce would just blow his load every time
