@aznboi1398 Well, the scoreboard certainly suggests that but I believe that if Fed made that drop shot at 5-2 in the first set, he would have won the French open but instead he missed it and Nadal had acquired a form that he hadn't had in the first round. He came back won the set and 3 hours later dropped to his knees in victory.
I quote a yahoo comment I read before this match "Isner won't be the marathon man in this match. Nadal will take him out in three easy sets, he has nothing"
yes so the 5 times he did win it,he played federer and dropped 1 set to him 4 times and a humiltation in the 2008 final,4 games suck that cock muncher
continued lose by Novak now. Nadal is ill-humored. Nadal criticized joy of Djokovic which won the victory in Madrid. The tired comment of Novak before the final in AO this year, Nadal criticized it again. I expect that Novak kicks Nadal also by RG. Roger helped Nadal last year. But Novak will go for the final this year. go Nole
sucks nadal. looks down on Sampras and past players. arrogant smug. too noisy annoying. fake time-out. gamesmanship. selfish. sucks 2-years-ranking. arrogant annoyi ng blind fans. asshole
how do you make those highlights? do you get the match in HD and then select the parts you want? what programme? sorry for so many questions but just try to explain please
From the 4th set onwards it was clear that Isner was tiring. Nadal had a couple of good returns to break in the beginning of the 5th, but apart from that, he was just letting Isner run until he couldn't anymore. The result was Isner rushing the net recklessly and, obviously, being passed.
But great fight from Isner, he had a shot at Rafa there. But not in a 4th or 5th set. He was already tired by then. Had Isner taken the 1st set to a tie-break, however, he could've won in straight sets.
if isner had any return to speak of he would of beaten rafa,rafa i think hit his most ever aces in a match,5 sets with isner on roland garros clay,murray beat him in straights in australia 2010(isners best ever start to a season) and 4 sets after murray lost his concentration after being 2-0 up and beat him in a tie break in the 4th ,isner had lost only 1 tie break in 14 in new york and won a 13 consecutive,those matches were returning masterclasses
no the best moment will be next year nadal will surpass borg and will be the best claycourt of all time no doubt about it. nadal ove ddjokovic in straigt sets. lol
Isner has brains. He grabbed every opportunity to win. Nadal was too good at the end.
Giving credit to Isner is not enough. Rafa is ever so close to losing. I am no Isner or Nadal fan. Really, Isner did use drop shots and was not scared to go to net; he is not just a good server but also a great fighter.
@TheRobertoRada Oi!, my comment is a question, I know Isner DID break nadals serve, which is why i responded as such to the guy who was insulting Isner's game saying that he rely's only on his serve.Look at the comment I replied to, then look at mine and you can work it out. so YOU dont comment mindlessly, without knowing everything. It can make you look like a fool.
Yeah. But give the 6' 9'' American some credit. I remember this match vividly, because it happened after Nadal had pretty much dominated his first few opponents at the FO. Isner may have been a low seeded player, but he gave the world No. 1 a run for his money on the latter's surface of choice. Your comment seemed to imply that Nadal could have beaten him without breaking a sweat, which is absolute bull!
@showbiz216 You're right! I guess my memory isn't as good as I thought. Still, Rafa's reputation on clay alone is enough to make it seem like he's riding a momentum wave of wins!
This is Nadal's favorite surface, and what did I say that was stupid? Nadal was up a break in the second set and he had many break points in the third set that he let pass him by
@nelle069214 you genuinely believe that a player who is very one dimensional can win 7 matches in a row in a slam a player who is ranked like mid 20's in the world? he is 26 and has only won 3 atp 250 events sorry but you are deluded he will never win a slam
Isner put up a better fight for Nadal in the first round compared to Federer in the final....
