He's a ****ing knob.

Basil is a **** too.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Monfils, Raonic and Dimitrov was a tough run up to the final for Nadal too. Both have also dropped 5 sets each.
But who cares, just excited for this game.

Excuse me?

Even Basil. Bruce is the worst.

 

[Cruyff14]

Basil, BT and Hamish are the worst. BT probably the worst of that trio.

Bruce is OK I reckon.

Lol again. Fed has been tremendous this tournament, and yes I have watched him, but Nadal has been equally as good, have you watched him at all this tournament?

I was just referring to your claim that fed is in 'far' better form which he clearly is not.

He is absolutely in better form and a far better player. Some of Feds tennis has been sensational. Nadal has just been wearing his opponents down.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Bruce has declined but at his commentary peak he was very good

Still shits on Hame and Basil though as long as he drops the stupid shit

 

[Cruyff14]

What the **** is this shit?

Why is there a guy in trackies and fluoro runners playing an electric violin at a tennis final? **** me sideways.

 

[Cooldude]

Basil needs sacking

This.

 

[Cooldude]

Rafa had the wood over Roger coz he can outlast him on the baseline and return his serves, which basically negates most of Federer's game

Don't really expect any different this final tbh, I'd like Fed to win but towards the end I think Rafa had a bit of a mental hold over him in their showdowns

Who's the fossil?

Ok

It's also not like Nadal played shit against Zverev. Zverev played seriously good tennis.

That's how Nadal plays though... He has the endurance for that style.

Also think it's a bit of hyperbole to say he is a "far" better player. Better yes, but these are two of the best of all time.

 

[Cruyff14]

Allez Roger!

Depends on how you see the 'better player'. Nadal's style, as you say, is to just grind down the opponent with endurance. Federer actually wins matches with incredible shot selection. Nadal doesn't have as much of that in his locker. He's basically Hewitt to the extreme.

Federer is an artist. Nadal is a better version of Hewitt. All grind.

This I disagree with. Rafa makes shots Hewitt could only dream of making. You don't win 13 Slams being an extreme version of Hewitt.

Nadal modelled his game on Hewitt because Hewitt was his idol growing up. Of course he hits shots Hewitt couldn't dream of, that's what I mean when I say Nadal is the extreme version of Hewitt. Federer always struggled playing Hewitt because of his gamestyle, and it's the same with Raf.
