@Ugerflagle I agree. He needs to hit flatter shots than he does now (especially off his forehand) and also go for sharper angles and more depth in his shots. It seems like all he does now is roll the ball back to the middle of the court waiting for his opponent to make a mistake. After 2005 his forehand which used to be one of the best in the world become only a mediocre forehand and his strategy went from baseline attack to counter-punching which doesn't suit his abilities at all.
AO 2009 had some amazing quality tennis. these shots are unbelievable, the last one by Rafa is just out of this world. just from a different galaxy this guy is

@dud321xyz completely agree and since nadal won this AO in spectacular style its pretty unfair that there are only 3 of his points in this tribute compared to about 10 of federers
Personally, I think the one on my account is without a doubt the best rally of the AO. I would link you to the video but it doesn't let me put links :( This isn't spam btw! Just think you guys should check it out.
It's also from the classic Verdasco - Nadal match. Can't believe how many amazing shots were played in that match!
By FAR AND AWAY the best Grand Slam of 2009, it had the Nadal vs. Verdasco, Gonzalez vs. Gasquet, Federer vs. Nadal, Murray vs. Verdasco and if your a Federer fan Federer vs. Del Potro was a great performance from Federer. The Roland Garros had no great matches. Wimbledon had Murray vs. Wawrinka and Roddick vs. Federer was about it. The US Open had some good matches but Nadal played his best early on and got injured, Federer was petulant at best in final and all but threw the Title away.
Cmon FO had good matches, just look at Federers series of matches, how he got his ass off trouble against Acasuso, and being 0-2 and 1-2 sets down in next rounds. Also Hewitt coming back from 2 sets down against Karlovic.
Federer is brilliant no doubt, I'm a fan of him too. But I reckon Nadal has improved so much over the years and I personally think he is a better player when they are playing each other. His top spin is just a lethal weapon against Federer. Nadal has won more matches head to head. I got to admit that they are definitely the two best players in the world by a clear mile!
Nadal Verdasco match was the best ever. Period. Others may have been more significant in terms of wins or rankings but no one has ever been played at that level by both players.
come on, we've all seen the banana shot a thousand times.. I think it's good this vid shows a more diverse field of shots from a couple of players for a change xD
Yeah that was an unbelievable shot. That and the point between Federer and Nadal with Nadal hitting that unbelievable forehand winner up the line both left me with my jaw dropped in my lap.
nadal is a frikkin machine, never gives up, never surrenders, still i hate that damn heat that got novak to retire, could have gone to the finals imho.
this aussie open was fantastic, absolutely superb tennis. the level is so high nowadays ... Nadal, Verdasco, Federer, Djokovic, Murray ... crazy competition. The only thing missing was a match-up Djokovic-Nadal, and I'm not sure who woould have won
nadal has such strong will to reach every ball, that is not human anymore. i am a big roger fan, but we have to admit that rafa is a fighter like nobody else and he runs the whole time like forrest gump was once running :-)
Man , 8:10 is one of the craziest ever , tsonga just flyed and blake just cound't believe it, even TSonga couch who doen't show that much support stand up cheer his up ,that was a craker.
o man- these are some of the craziest points, esp. the ones where rafa's involved. though i hate tsonga, i'll admit the point against blake where he just charged right for the volley was mad funny- blake couldn't believe that happened.

"take a bow"!
every frigging european and samerican player knows how 2 drop shot so if Roddick is lucky enuff 2 get away with 1;he should just keep his trap shut and move on.I mean Roger hits hundreds of those against Roddick and gets him everytime and doesn't say a peep about that
The best points of the AO 2009 were at the Semi and the Final!! For sure!! Check both matches and hear the commentators..... if you don't belief, then read the news!! The AO Semi-Final would be a historical match of "Spanish Titans"! For EVER
