@xxDreamChaserxx I wouldn't exactly call what Roger and Rafa have as a deep friendship, but rather an admirable respect for each other as competitors. As for Rafa and Djokovic, I think they'll get on better once Rafa figures out how not to get his ass whooped by Djokovic, LOL!
@DarlingNikki2 trust me it's a deep friendship :) "We talked a lot, much more than I expected. We flew together on a private plane, and then we had dinner together, and we talked, and talked and talked. Quite a lot of hours together." - Rafa (one of many quotes like that)
I know, what the heck is up with Rafa and the 6 consecutive final defeats? grr, I literally wanted to go to Mallorca and beat him up. my friend told me to book a plane ticket.
Anybody notice Nadal recently doesn't want to hug Novak anymore? After Novak has smashed Nadal 4 straight times in finals including twice on clay? Today's Novak is a MUCH MUCH better player than the dead-tired incompetent version whom Nadal beat at U.S Open 2010 final.
Djokovic is now going to take Nadal's #1 ranking. Nadal can not beat the new Djokovic of 2011! Nadal is lucky he managed to win U.S Open 2010 when he had a super easy draw with no threats and just tired players.
@TheHomeOfWrestling Depends. Federer is #3 which means luck of the draw. He can end up on Nadal's side of the draw too so we get to see Federer/Nadal in the semifinals with the winner playing Djokovic in the finals. That would be great if that happened at the U.S Open this year since Federer and Nadal have never played at the U.S Open. They could end up killing eachother over 5 sets and then Nole smashes the winner in the finals. LOL
Federer took Nole's stamina last year. Nadal beat tired Nole.
@HenryTheJoker Yes I've noticed that. I think Nadal finds all the defeats pretty hard... at Wimbledon he barely looked at Novak after he won, he looked pretty upset. Djokovic seems very gracious.. even when Federer beat him at French Open he gave him a big hug and congratulations. The djoker is now on fire! :)
You're criticizing someone for biting a trophy? What does that have to do with the fact that you clearly have a problem with Roger and Rafa dominating the top spots? As if it matters, they are all talented as evidenced by the fact that Novak just won his second slam. They are all human and can all beat or lose to one another. People who think Roger and Rafa need to lose more often just because they have dominated (at some times...not all) need to grow up.
This is wonderful to see.I have heard Johhny Mc. say that these 2 are friends and we have proof of it right here.These guys are wonderful for tennis.They spend almost 3 hours trying to kill each other on the court and have enough affection for each other to embrace after the match.This is great!
I admit Novak grown up. He always threw out the racket and was retiring for foolish reasons. the family with a lot of problems. I did not like them. But, Nole finally won Fed by the USopun fourth year. Roger was not play of the best. But, wonderful victory. The movement of Nadal is overall annoying.The trophy is bitten like the child always. They are not perfect. They need not be overvalued. But, they are tennis stars. Fed's generation.Nadal's generation. Delpo's generation. great competition.
Aww that was so sweet. I love both of these guys, you can just tell that they have enormous respect for each other and that they are great friends. Both of them are as gracious in defeat as they are in victorious moments. I think Novak and Rafa are going to have a great rivalry in the future. :) So happy to see them occupying the top two spots in the world rankings, it's well deserved!
Everyone talks about Roger and Rafa but Rafa and Novak have their own special rivalvry going on. And apparently a really warm friendship to boot. That camaraderie really shines through. Love this. Love them.
@MsTheef You know, I've always really liked the Rafa/Nole rivalry - a bit more than the rivalry with Fed. Both Rafa and Nole are very passionate; they show a ton of emotion on court. I think they bring out the best in each other when they play. Reference their 2008 final at Queen's. Spectacular tennis, that was!
Some people would have you believe that good behaviour/sportmanship are of no importance and winning is all that matters. I don't know about anybody else but these scenes and those as they finish the match make everything that much more special, but perhaps I'm just old fashioned.
Sigh you just can not love this guy....so generous and yes Nole too you can see how disappointed he is and yet gracious in defeat not like some cry babies
@fundoo2 smone with poor sportsmanship, if smone is another player's fan and this player was defeated by Rafa, they may say it's ok, we stand by you no matter what and congrats to the winner or just hate the winner... i found out that some Rafa fans hate some other players and vice versa; i told them that Rafa himself has lots of respect to these men and most of them are close friends too... so how come?? ppl aren't alike, u know o.O
Wow! Nadal has won me over forever after this final. And Nole, all my love to him as always, they're both so freaking adorable and awesome! Best rivalry ever.
...Sorry, what was everyone saying? I couldn't stop looking at Rafa's legs! ;) :P
