Title: Federer v Nadal Post by: kinboshi on June 08, 2007, 09:11:30 PM The match of the tennis season. The unbeatable Federer suddenly becomes human and beatable against Nadal on clay.
Nadal won last time in a cracking final. Is Federer going to beat his clay-court nemesis, or is Nadal just too strong for him on his favourite surface? Will he get his hat-trick of titles against Federer, or will Federer win on course to a Grand Slam? Answers on a postcard... Title: Re: Federer v Nadal Post by: Sark79 on June 08, 2007, 09:15:24 PM Nadal is the ultimate sportsman.
Title: Re: Federer v Nadal Post by: kinboshi on June 08, 2007, 09:17:12 PM ...and Federer is the ultimate tennis player. Which is why this match is such a brilliant clash. On any other surface, Federer would be a huge favourite. But on clay it's Nadal who has proven to be the best.
Title: Re: Federer v Nadal Post by: Graham C on June 08, 2007, 09:21:53 PM The Fed Express beat Nadal last time they played on clay in Hamburg a few weeks ago. I believe it was the first time he has beaten Nadal on clay but it's was a very significant match. This final is going to be a cracker and could well see Rog take the French Open for the first time.
Really looking forward to it myself Title: Re: Federer v Nadal Post by: boldie on June 08, 2007, 09:35:54 PM The Fed Express beat Nadal last time they played on clay in Hamburg a few weeks ago.

Title: Re: Federer v Nadal Post by: kinboshi on June 08, 2007, 10:53:02 PM They're both bloody awesome!
Federer is probably the best male tennis player of all time (arguably), and Nadal seems to own the French Open. Funnily enough, Roddick is on Jonathan Ross this evening, and how gutted must he be to have come up against Federer? If Federer wasn't around, Roddick would have been world No.1 for quite a while and would have won several grand slam tournaments.

I know nadal is a pretty OK (ok maybe quite decent ;) player but Federer is different class even to him. Title: Re: Federer v Nadal Post by: Sark79 on June 10, 2007, 03:43:12 PM I wish we would stop seeing Federers bird every few seconds, I have seen more of her in the last few minutes than the actual match. Typical European camera men , they love showing the reaction of the crowd for some reason

Typical European camera men , they love showing the reaction of the crowd for some reason plus she's a bit ugly Title: Re: Federer v Nadal Post by: Sark79 on June 10, 2007, 04:04:27 PM exactly
Title: Re: Federer v Nadal Post by: bolt pp on June 10, 2007, 04:07:44 PM Nadel will win, he looks so controlled on clay.
closer than i thought though. Title: Re: Federer v Nadal Post by: Sark79 on June 10, 2007, 04:38:54 PM Yep. I hope they don't bring in the Ghost style camera work for Wimbledon . I keep seeing two Nadals and Federers bird all at the same time, I keep thinking my lunchtime non alcoholic becks beer is doing something to my eyesight

Title: Re: Federer v Nadal Post by: kinboshi on June 10, 2007, 07:34:21 PM Not even close at the end. Not a good day at the office for Federer. Nadal didn't even need to get into top gear. A disappointing final when it could have been a classic.

That's crappy Eurosport for you, they do it for a lot of tennis, they must think it looks 'arty' |
