Official Nadal vs. Federer thread.

[DoubleO7]

Excellent stuff from Nadal. He needed that break badly.

 

[jonoman89]

Brilliant match. Best of the tournament i've seen.

The play in the tie break (forget which part) where Nadal managed to get a backhand off to Fed's multiple saves....jaw dropping.

I really want Fed to get this.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Whatever happens from there, it's clear these 2 are best players in the world and have been for 12 months. No one else is in their league.

Novak and Murray might win the odd tournament here and there, but when it comes to consistent grand slam intensity, no one can match these two.

Lleyton can hang up the boots, he will never play at a level good enough to match it with these 2 in a slam again. They are just so far above and beyond everyone else.

 

[Macca19]

Yup, Hewitt wouldnt be able to get a set of these two anymore I reckon.

These two are definitely the clear two best in the world and wont be surprised if the other 3 GS this year are Fed v Rafa

 

[Rod Stroker]

Gee, I wonder if that dodgy central umpire call is the wake-up Fed needed. He got fairly animated there when his challenge was ruled correct.

 

[DoubleO7]

Oh, what an incredible point!

 

[Macca19]

Genius. Unbelievable point.

 

[Kaan]

That was just a ridiculous point

 

[Macca19]

Fed just needs to fire up sometimes.

 

[Divado]

This is brilliant

 

[Hot Spenny]

Never said that.

I'd love to be wrong but I'm not sure.

Needed that break.

I didn't mean you said it schmo!

Not sure, you were pretty certain 10 minutes ago that he was gonna lose!

 

[Rod Stroker]

This is the pivotal game in the match now. Controversial challenges, central ump getting involved, unbelievable winner from Rafa. Fed has to hold here to stay alive.

 

[tarky]

epic game that 1

 

[tarky]

could this top wimbledon '08?

 

[crowsarethebest]

******* game. Best game in the tournament I reckon. I think. This one is an epic final again. If it's 5 you've got to give Federer the favouritism but Rafa still looks pretty good, he doesn't look too tired.

 

[Kaan]

could this top wimbledon '08?

I reckon those rain delays made that game even better.

 

[Macca19]

Come on Fed...make it count this time.

 

[flight23]

I reckon those rain delays made that game even better.

100% agreed

 

[tarky]

on a side note...is that mary joe fernandez beside roger resheed? (however u spell it)

 

[Macca19]

Top game by Fed there. I reckon Rafa can push this one to a tie break though

 

[Macca19]

Theres only one word for this contest.

EPIC!

The best thing is, we are most likely gonna see a lot more of these GS final battles between the two.

 

[Selective Retention]

Critical challenge there. Nice "breather" for Fed.

5 big sets, here we go.

 

[Kaan]

Game over... Fed will never win another GS. Book it.

Only about an hour or so till I can get rid of that bookmark.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Brilliant game so far. Really enjoying this.

Come on Fed!

 

[Ed_Gein]

Only about an hour or so till I can get rid of that bookmark.

I give it 40-45
