If Roger can get 80% or higher first serves in for the match he can beat rafa or nole on any surface. When Roger's serve is on, his whole games falls into place. This is how roger won most of his older matches against rafa.. He also will need to take his big forehand down the line and come in.. Rafa won't like to hit his forehand on the run as much as running around it and dictating play.. To sum all this up... take him out of his comfort zone.
@cj397 you can't predict what's gonna happen in the future , faggot . So many punks said that Rafa wouldn't beat Fagderer in a hard court Slam , but look what happened . He's the only guy in the history to make Fagderer the smug meister cry like a bitch in front of every body including his beloved pig Mirka .
@federerbestclass First that didn't happen but that semifinal at Roland Garros between Nole & Federer was simply the greatest match of RG 2011.Nole nearly beat roger but that was Roger at his best.
As far as Nole instead of Federer in RG 2011 Final & then beating Rafa is concerned well comparing tour masters with grand slam is not an intelligent thing.Beating Rafa at French Open you got to be kidding me that's his home away from home.
This 5-0 deal will end soon hopefully in US OPEN 2011 FINAL.
@bhupeshyadav22 Present Roger has already become weak. Roger is 30 years old. And, he already has the family and the kids. Now, Roger is an old player. Novak and Roger's SF. It was the best of the match. Of course, I agree to it. However, Roger is not playing the heyday. Novak is a rest dawning of four days. It is not their best conditions.
@bhupeshyadav22 winning Novak is also at home of Nadal. Madrid in Spain. And, Rome of the clay. If they are meeting RG. Novak was winning. The person who thinks so is more. And, fact the final of Wimbledon, too.
I am not fan of especially Novak and Nadal. But, I hope Novak wins to Nadal again. It might be just compatibility. But, Nadal never can be won successive victories excluding the clay. It becomes the clear proof. And, Djokovic has confidence more, to Nadal. hopefully.
Federer's backhand is no match for the heavy topspin forehand of Nadal. He will lose that battle the majority of the time, and over 5 sets, it will break down even more. And Rafa knows this, hence the same strategy is employed, time and time again. If both of them make the Wimbledon finals, it's going to be the same story, unless Roger serves well and takes the net more than usual (maybe 1st and some 2nd serves).
you are right... but fed never change things vs nadal- that why he always losing to him. thats the frustrating thing, federer has the weapons and ability to beat him anywhere including the french but he never ties them together.
go watch AO 2009 SF how verdasco outplayed nadal tactically the whole match, serve&volley/drop shots/forands you name it... even toughe he came short in the 5th set
@makaveliguy well i heard brad gilbert and patrick macenroe say that fed should take a few steps back to return against nadal. even against tomas berdick he should do it because berdick has such a fast hard serve that if you stand close, before you even get your racket up, the ball is 10ft passed you. just look how far nadal stands back against big servers. fyb keeps saying people should come in more, but the world number 1 player nadal stands 10ft back to return serves!
@sarasmilepiano well actually roger started winning all his grand slams after he stopped going to the net. When he first started out he was a serve volley player like sampras.
@landofthethundercats The strategy of hanging back against Rafa and Novak is not really working,
and it will be harder if the match goes to 5 sets . The key is to shorten the points, and on grass it makes sense to attack the net. Roger should start "practicing" this in the early rounds, so he can be ready
to serve and volley in the semis/finals. Pete used to s&v all the time but he had a big serve to back him. Roger does not have that luxury but is capable of winning a lot of points at net.
@landofthethundercats lol I don't think the score will be that lopsided and as to the s&v strategy, I don't mean coming in everytime off his serve. That's not Roger's style, anyways. Pick his spots. And coming in off a low, nasty slice is better than a 50/50 propositon, imho.
@landofthethundercats On his forehand, maybe, with the vicious topspin; on the backhand, it would be more ideal. The whole idea is shorten the points and pressure Rafa, mix it up.
again. you are right its just that federer apparently post-2007, has that "i dont need to change anything i will beat everyone in their own game" attitude- and he always lose matches when he try to out-hit the opponent like all nadal finals loses, djokovic us open 2010 and aussi open 2011, del potro us open 2009- go watch those matches and see that he lost them for the same reasons...stubborn play.
my god there are 40 atp 250 tournaments every year.... wonder if federer won all of them at least once.
btw the reason top 10 seed players play atp 250 is simply for money because the points are not a lot. doha is one prime example as its prize money is huge !!!
Great job, Will! Great analysis! Unfortunately, Roger couldn't handle the pressure Nadal imposed with the forehand to backhand rallies, and couldn't hit the big shots without having many unforced errors.
Roger actually played Rafa very well. In my opinion. Roger's backhand is a big improvement compared to 3 years ago. He was taking the ball early, and he could very dangerous backhands from his shoulder height.
Where I believe Federer lost was that he wasn't able to take the opportunities when they were there. Credit to Rafa for playing so well. Was Roger outplayed? Yes and no. He lost, so he was outplayed. At the same time, he could've won had he taken his chances.
They do call nasals racquet a cheats racquet but none the less this argument will go on and never be answered it just come to opinion.
I think Roger is the best ever and not because of 16 slams but because of his genius of how effortless he makes it. Federer looses to Nadal mostly because of how bad the match up is and most games they played are on clay. Nadal is the greatest athlete i have ever seen but Federer is the greatest tennis player i have ever seen. Poetry in motion.

@assailant85 Please concentrate whilst you read. Ill simplify it for you. I think If you took all the athletes in the world from all sports I would rate nadal as the best i have seen. (speed,anaerobic power, agility, local muscular endurance, mental strength, ect.) However I think Federer is the best tennis player of all time and not just because he has the greatest record. But because of the way he plays. Serve, volley, forehand, backhand all technically sound. But as i said its all in opinion.

defiantly roger is the best he always comes with great shots which is rafa never ever going to do it even after years, when i watch roger i fell so pleased he is really maestro but rafa staying at the back of the court and use his strength, for me very boring to watch rafa.
federer 2008 would have beaten nadal on sunday. especially since federer had a perfect chance to take the first set, set point up on his serve.
federer did employ tactics (finally) in this match against nadal. he changed up a few times, and caused nadal a lot of trouble at times, good drop shots. unfortunately its a little bit too late, if he had done it a few years ago against nadal, he might have won 1 or 2 more french opens...
how can be possible to become the best player in the world ever if you can not realize set point at 5-2 for you and having set point ...in 3-4 years world would realize Frauderer is the second and later on the third ever after Novak and Nadal ...those who survive will talk .. greetings from Serbia ...
@D101N1 are you high? 6-2 rafa is against federer in majors, rafa owns fed, and is the only one not only challenge federer's greatness, but to exceed it when roger was in his prime. Sorry, fed can suck it.
@Fazigu remember the greatest match ever played when Rafa beat roger at Wimbledon? then the Australian? U.S. open? and Wimbelton again? Rafa is the only one to challenge and beat roger head to head, when federer was in his prime. At 25 rafa has 10 majors, a year quicker than federer where it take him tell age 26 to get 10. Rafa v Fed is a great rivalry, but sorry Rafa is better.
@rawjokes i think roger would beat rafa most times in hard court and grass. , and i bet rafas career will be much shorter than rogers. so age doesnt really matter. like FYB says. Rafa has Rogers kyptonite thats all.
@Fazigu Results on each court surface Clay courts: Nadal 12–2 Hard courts: 4–4 Grass courts: Federer 2–1
All matches: Nadal 17–8
All finals: Nadal 13–6
Grand Slam matches: Nadal 7–2
Grand Slam finals: Nadal 6–2
Sorry buddy, but results spoke for themselves, Rafa has beaten Fed on hard courts and Grass, and head to head has the better record. Rafa stopped Fed's ruin, and proved he is the better player, maybe the greatest of all time.
@rawjokes As we observe the game from another point of view, we can say that Sampras set the standard for Fed. Fed set the standard for Rafa . Fed not just set it, but brought it to a whole new level. But if we examine the shots created by both Roger and Rafa, Roger HAS created really beautiful shots. Of course, Nadal has as well, but if we look at it, Roger has brought in truly a lot of creativity to his game and is still acknowledged as the greatest of all time by many people. Peace (:
@PrinceDeath95 he is considered the greatest because he has 16 majors. Now, Rafa has 10, at 25, and he has done so against the "greatest of all time," he is the only one to challenge roger's greatest, and he has exceeded it.That is why many are saying that Rafa,who is already one of the greatest of all time, maybe the greatest of all time when he's done.Btw, Rafa doesn't have to win 6 or 7 more majors to be better than federer. Anyone with eyes, and looks at the stats and play knows he's better.
@rawjokes I have eyes, and I say Federer is the best ever, and will be. For me the H2H is too obviously in Nadal's advantage, almost every dynamic between these two is in his advantage. Nadal is the dominator between these two, but Fed is the best ever. I'm also confident Nadal has had a huge advantage of the change in strings, rackets, balls and surfaces, while I know Fed could have dominated every era. And the mental issue in their H2H, if Nadal had made more finals on HC earlier in his...
@rawjokes ...career, Roger would have had a better H2H and definitely a better mental state. No excuses that Nadal is dominating the H2H, but there are too many important factors that make me believe Fed will always be the best player ever, and Nadal cannot be, ever, IMHO.
@Elwink Looking at the mental side what hasn't nadal showed? If you beat the best repeatedly in majors and match play, doesn't that make you the best? Looks like your making excuses as to why Rafa can't be better, in a sport where majors dictate everything. But if you want to look at everything one of Rafa's strongest figures is his mental game, LOOK AT HIS CAREER. There's no doubt he's better than roger, and if you gets 16 or more he will unanimously be the greatest of all time.
@rawjokes I don't agree at just looking at the H2H and number of GS, personally I've always been lenient calling someone the greatest just like many legends in the past (but some do it for media purposes and later they say you every era is different). GS record is meant to be broken. The way Roger plays, the overall picture, I'm totally fine with him being called the GOAT. Whereas with Nadal, I find it rather a funny joke. He's gained so much by technology, he cannot be GOAT of the ages, imo
@Elwink You can't blame a player by the inflation of the technology at hand, he can't help that, he is one of the greatest players regardless. Btw, the same technology federer uses is the same as Nadal uses, the only reason roger is number 1 is because of his grand slams, and his H2H matchups. Nadal has already proven he is better than roger, when roger was in his prime, he challenged him, and beat him. If Nadal gets to 16, there is no way he can't be considered the greatest of all time.
@rawjokes First off, i am not arguing with you but only discussin I think many people have sterotyped rafa to be like" oh he's the guy to beat roger. oh he's the guy who's gonna thwart the emperor ( he has of course)" but i think that what people want to see is rafa develop his style? plus, rafa is younger and of course he has better stats, no one is saying rafa is bad, but roger on his own has done magic with various shots, but this is not showing on rafa? peace man, you seem pissed lol.
@ebowass aheh, but it isn't as good as Roger's :D seriously, we should stop this discussion because firstly, the "best" is subjected to our opinions. secondly, we don't really get anything out of it. thirdly, if roger and rafa don't even make a big fuss over it, why should we? HAHA
@rawjokes , rafa will be remember best clay court player of all time. rafa has a a couple of very good years. (of course im just speculating). head to head recrod isnt everything. because u got guys with a high rank with positive head to head against guys with better lower rank. its about having the right game for a that specific player. Rafa has the right game to beat federer.
@Fazigu The head to head record proves everything, he can beat roger on any surface, in majors too. Rafa has been a world number 1 for almost 3 years in total now, and he beats djokovic in every major they have played in. Do you have any other excuses to why he can't the greatest of all time, because every argument you have brought up, Rafa has broken. The thing about Rafa v Fed, is that they have dominated the field for years, and Rafa have dominated fed, showing that he's better.
@hordak83 5 years, 10 majors, beating the "greatest of all time" repeatably. I am saying if Rafa gets 16 or majors, there's no argument that you can make that he isn't the greatest of all time, period.
@hordak83 He is 1 of 4 men to reach 10 titles, he is 1 of 5 to have a career grand slam, and he has beaten the best of time, and proved he is better than him, when "the best" was in his prime. Sorry he has proved already he is way more than "behind-baseliner", he is without a doubt one of the greatest of all time, and 16 or more it will be unanimous, but he doesn't need 16 to be better than roger, he has already proved that, and he is the only one who has.
@hordak83 Boring baseliner? C'mon open your eyes, Roger is not the only talented tennis player on the face of the earth. As a Rafa fan you don't see me bad-mouthing Roger, he is currently the GOAT, I'm lucky to see him play. I show him respect...I'm not telling you to be a fan of Rafa, but you should respect him, if not for his talent, but atleast his ability to be the only one to have had the ability to test Roger's skill and actually beat him in the past.
@hordak83 you are a fucking moron! Rafa a "boring behind-baseliner" Rafa shed that moniker years ago and he has double digit grandslams and the second youngest to do so. Also the youngest to achieve the grandslam and he owns FED period, know what you are talking about when you open your mouth!
@hordak83 How many grand slam titles does one have to win to be considered GREAT by you? He has 10. I agree that Rafa does not use volleys or drop shots that much, but he still can beat Federer. What is the difference how he does it? Federer will always be one of the greatest if not the greatest to ever play the game.
@hordak83 Are you saying Agassi isn't great? Becker? Edberg? Because Nadal has more slams than all of them. It doesn't matter if he gets 16 or not, he's great whether you think he is or not.
@explodingpimp The guy was pointing out that Nadal is GOAT, because of his H2H winning record against Fed and 10 GS titles. I didn't say that he isn't in top 10 :) That's all.
@rawjokes the greatest of all time? calm take it back a nudge or a lot, your making arguments that rafa is better than roger and roger also has beaten rafa in all surfaces. not rafa is far from the best of all time he has about at least 6 majors away. which he wont get in my opinion.
and if you think head to head record proves EVERYTHING, then we will never agree.
@Fazigu Have you taken a look at the record buddy, Rafa has beaten roger on all surfaces, more times than fed has beaten him. If I beat the greatest who ever played, all surfaces, that means I'm better than him. Rafa is better than him based on that alone, I am saying if he get 16, there is no argument that you can have that proves otherwise that he is the greatest of all time. He already is one of greatest of all time, if he gets 16 it's definite, period.
@alejandrojullian injuries, his knees have taken a lot a stress because of his defensive style. and he mature phisically really early. i think we will see another injury soon. , because his game has been off last couple a months , (playing really short like before and after last injury) , but u never know he finish really strong in roland garros. maybe the pressure of was getting to him.
to be honest it never felt like roger really lost that match. he played his mind out, especially most of that first set. bummer he couldnt take it and made some bad decisions on the big points. maybe went for the rafa backhand too much when he came into the net. but seriously it shouldve went 5 sets. his backhand held up well against the serve.
Roger did come forward and take Rafa's serves early. It was a major reason he made the match 5-2 so quickly. It's an utter shame he fell apart there though. Rafa got some serious confidence after that lost set point and came roaring back to overpower Fed for most the rest of the match.
What people seem to ignore is sometimes it's too difficult to execute certain strategies against another player, and do so consistently. Murray got criticized for not coming to net more often, S and V, and so forth, but as he said, which i agree, it's not that easy. To just blindly do so against someone so good is foolhardy and is more likely to cost the match.strategy is one thing, but execution is another. the other guy may be too good - both shot and adjustment.
@valeriogchannel I actually predicted that someone here predicted that Will Hamilton predicted a prediction that Rafa will win in 4 sets, and we were all right
@sxehitman007 Of course you have a point but it's not all about head to heads. Sampras was better than Krajicek but had a negative head to head against him.
@sxehitman007 True but it means that there are players whose style just don't suit you. Nadal is a phenomenal player and so is Roger. Time will tell how many slams Rafa is going to win. He can certainly win many more as long as he is fit. Roger is getting a little older and as long as Djoko and Murray don't make the jump, (Djoko is on his way of course), Rafa can beat Roger's record. Best of all time is subjective. Rafa has a great style but nobody can match Roger's style and elegance.
it sucks the majority of their matches are played on clay thats why the head to head is so lopsided....... my heart is screaming roger will win but i cant imagine how he will beat nadal on paris clay T_T
You're a very good predictor, in 4 sets, a tough game, with the exception of fourth set. These are beutiful year for spanish tenis fans!! :) VAMOS RAFA!!
To be honest i am rafael fan, and i was very happy when i saw Roger beat djokovic. If Jokovic was the one who in final, i think Rafael will have a big trouble. Now rafael win his 10 Grand Slams and he still 24, so he can still play his solid game at least 6 more years. To win 4 out 6 Rolland Garros is not really problem for king of clay, and to win 2 of 6 wimbledon is easy for nadal, and finally to win just 1 out of 12 hard court GS also easy for nadal, so sure nadal gone to break Federer record
@GanzLONDON i haven't watched this clip before the match coz i knew it was a waste of time, nadal was always going to win, so all those federer fag fans out there, get use to fed not winning another tournament , let alone a grand slam
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To all federer cocksuckers and brownnosers, now u see this swiss pussy-ass whiner cannot beat a real man in the final, he only can threaten them before the match, that arrogant prick......and then he goes losing like always.
8-17 is not a rivalry at all, it is a humiliation!! 17-8 is a domination! LOLLLLLLLLL
@cammpinno yep ,i read that several federer fans went to the doctor & told the Doc."Every time i jerk off I scream roger federer when I climax" the doctor replies "Thats normal son...most wankers do"!
Novak was mean to be in the final! both players had points to prove. Nadal wanted a final chance this season to prove that Novak's wins over him were flukes and Novak wanted to prove otherwise. on the other-hand, Roger had nothing to lose. it was 17 GS or losing having ending Novak's streak. to be fair, it makes sense for Roger to end Novak's run because he was the last to beat Novak in a match. : / well played by both. looking onwards to Wimbledon! :D
@Uninserious Novak beat him in best out of 2 sets but has never beat him in a Grand Slam, Novak played at his best when Rafa beat him in 4 sets in the U.S Open.
Well said, When it comes to the slams, It's two men with the Duopoly. In the outside tournaments Djokovic and Murray win a lot but when it comes to the ones that matters its just those two men who rise to the occasion.
@Uninserious this was an anti climax,for a final, it was crap federer has not won a tourney in 6 months & he probably wont win one all year if he keeps running into nadal or djok-strap-on-avich
and there you are! NOTHING has changed! LOL! the match didn't even go to 5 sets, John Isner remains the only man to take Rafa to 5 sets on Clay at Roland Garros. Wow! This was meant to be the match in 2009, curse you Robin! lol
It is very frustrating and irritating know that the victory of Federer over Djokovic is only his certain defeat on Sunday, another final without equivalencies, a film that i already seen 3 times, with a final announced. i can already see: 49 unforced errors, 11 break opportunities, with only 2 converted for Fed, 3 double faults, and perhaps some 36 winners
They do call nasals racquet a cheats racquet but none the less this argument will go on and never be answered it just come to opinion.
I think Roger is the best ever and not because of 16 slams but because of his genius of how effortless he makes it. Federer looses to Nadal mostly because of how bad the match up is and most games they played are on clay. Nadal is the greatest athlete i have ever seen but Federer is the greatest tennis player i have ever seen. Poetry in motion.
federer is such a boring unexpressive mute, I wish he would grow some balls and say no I don't like this left handed robot roid head player called rafael nadal because hes burning a hole through my legacy and start playing with the aggression that that ugly spanish cunt nadal shows against him
realistic analysis... I'm a federer fan, but I have said before, if he can take nadal to 5 sets on a claycourt, I am very happy already regardless of the score
When fed starts to dictate points he should use the drop shot as much as he can, because Rafa stands so far back on the dirt. It will take pressure off him hitting so many winners. He should also use that off forehand to Rafa's forehand to push Rafa off the court a bit.
I agree with FYB2007 analysis even though Will is discussing how Federer can beat Nadal and then concludes that Nadal will win! I think Federer will win - simply because he is more relaxed ... he has taken out Djokovic ... there is less pressure on him and he can take his time ... he knows Nadal's game.
@TheFedererNadallover lol. it would be so funny if Nadal beat Federer in the final again because it would give the impression that nothing has changed, it's like as if to say that even if they met in the 2009 final, Nadal would've still won. If now Federer serves like he did in his semi against Novak....
@Uninserious i know he cant ... thats why i wanted Djokovic to beat Federer ! Fed has no chance of beating nadal. He doesn't have the physical or mental strength to beat nadal !
Great prediction!

to serve and volley in the semis/finals. Pete used to s&v all the time but he had a big serve to back him. Roger does not have that luxury but is capable of winning a lot of points at net.

@sarasmilepiano na if roger served and volley,nadal and djkovic will pass him everytime. he'd loose like 6-0, 6-0,6-0
and his main problem against nadal is he cant break nadals serve.
landofthethundercats 8 months ago
@landofthethundercats lol I don't think the score will be that lopsided and as to the s&v strategy, I don't mean coming in everytime off his serve. That's not Roger's style, anyways. Pick his spots. And coming in off a low, nasty slice is better than a 50/50 propositon, imho.

@sarasmilepiano everytime roger gives a low slice, nadal fires the ball back for a winner. are you female?

@landofthethundercats On his forehand, maybe, with the vicious topspin; on the backhand, it would be more ideal. The whole idea is shorten the points and pressure Rafa, mix it up.

again. you are right its just that federer apparently post-2007, has that "i dont need to change anything i will beat everyone in their own game" attitude- and he always lose matches when he try to out-hit the opponent like all nadal finals loses, djokovic us open 2010 and aussi open 2011, del potro us open 2009- go watch those matches and see that he lost them for the same reasons...stubborn play.

Roger actually played Rafa very well. In my opinion. Roger's backhand is a big improvement compared to 3 years ago. He was taking the ball early, and he could very dangerous backhands from his shoulder height.
Where I believe Federer lost was that he wasn't able to take the opportunities when they were there. Credit to Rafa for playing so well. Was Roger outplayed? Yes and no. He lost, so he was outplayed. At the same time, he could've won had he taken his chances.

federer 2008 would have beaten nadal on sunday. especially since federer had a perfect chance to take the first set, set point up on his serve.
federer did employ tactics (finally) in this match against nadal. he changed up a few times, and caused nadal a lot of trouble at times, good drop shots. unfortunately its a little bit too late, if he had done it a few years ago against nadal, he might have won 1 or 2 more french opens...

rawjokes 8 months ago
@rawjokes As we observe the game from another point of view, we can say that Sampras set the standard for Fed. Fed set the standard for Rafa . Fed not just set it, but brought it to a whole new level. But if we examine the shots created by both Roger and Rafa, Roger HAS created really beautiful shots. Of course, Nadal has as well, but if we look at it, Roger has brought in truly a lot of creativity to his game and is still acknowledged as the greatest of all time by many people. Peace (:
PrinceDeath95 8 months ago
@PrinceDeath95 he is considered the greatest because he has 16 majors. Now, Rafa has 10, at 25, and he has done so against the "greatest of all time," he is the only one to challenge roger's greatest, and he has exceeded it.That is why many are saying that Rafa,who is already one of the greatest of all time, maybe the greatest of all time when he's done.Btw, Rafa doesn't have to win 6 or 7 more majors to be better than federer. Anyone with eyes, and looks at the stats and play knows he's better.
rawjokes 8 months ago
@rawjokes I have eyes, and I say Federer is the best ever, and will be. For me the H2H is too obviously in Nadal's advantage, almost every dynamic between these two is in his advantage. Nadal is the dominator between these two, but Fed is the best ever. I'm also confident Nadal has had a huge advantage of the change in strings, rackets, balls and surfaces, while I know Fed could have dominated every era. And the mental issue in their H2H, if Nadal had made more finals on HC earlier in his...
Elwink 8 months ago
@rawjokes ...career, Roger would have had a better H2H and definitely a better mental state. No excuses that Nadal is dominating the H2H, but there are too many important factors that make me believe Fed will always be the best player ever, and Nadal cannot be, ever, IMHO.
Elwink 8 months ago
@Elwink Looking at the mental side what hasn't nadal showed? If you beat the best repeatedly in majors and match play, doesn't that make you the best? Looks like your making excuses as to why Rafa can't be better, in a sport where majors dictate everything. But if you want to look at everything one of Rafa's strongest figures is his mental game, LOOK AT HIS CAREER. There's no doubt he's better than roger, and if you gets 16 or more he will unanimously be the greatest of all time.
rawjokes 8 months ago
@rawjokes I don't agree at just looking at the H2H and number of GS, personally I've always been lenient calling someone the greatest just like many legends in the past (but some do it for media purposes and later they say you every era is different). GS record is meant to be broken. The way Roger plays, the overall picture, I'm totally fine with him being called the GOAT. Whereas with Nadal, I find it rather a funny joke. He's gained so much by technology, he cannot be GOAT of the ages, imo
Elwink 8 months ago
@Elwink You can't blame a player by the inflation of the technology at hand, he can't help that, he is one of the greatest players regardless. Btw, the same technology federer uses is the same as Nadal uses, the only reason roger is number 1 is because of his grand slams, and his H2H matchups. Nadal has already proven he is better than roger, when roger was in his prime, he challenged him, and beat him. If Nadal gets to 16, there is no way he can't be considered the greatest of all time.

@rawjokes First off, i am not arguing with you but only discussin I think many people have sterotyped rafa to be like" oh he's the guy to beat roger. oh he's the guy who's gonna thwart the emperor ( he has of course)" but i think that what people want to see is rafa develop his style? plus, rafa is younger and of course he has better stats, no one is saying rafa is bad, but roger on his own has done magic with various shots, but this is not showing on rafa? peace man, you seem pissed lol.

@Fazigu The head to head record proves everything, he can beat roger on any surface, in majors too. Rafa has been a world number 1 for almost 3 years in total now, and he beats djokovic in every major they have played in. Do you have any other excuses to why he can't the greatest of all time, because every argument you have brought up, Rafa has broken. The thing about Rafa v Fed, is that they have dominated the field for years, and Rafa have dominated fed, showing that he's better.

Sorry he has proved already he is way more than "behind-baseliner", he is without a doubt one of the greatest of all time, and 16 or more it will be unanimous, but he doesn't need 16 to be better than roger, he has already proved that, and he is the only one who has.

to be honest it never felt like roger really lost that match. he played his mind out, especially most of that first set. bummer he couldnt take it and made some bad decisions on the big points. maybe went for the rafa backhand too much when he came into the net. but seriously it shouldve went 5 sets. his backhand held up well against the serve.

Roger did come forward and take Rafa's serves early. It was a major reason he made the match 5-2 so quickly. It's an utter shame he fell apart there though. Rafa got some serious confidence after that lost set point and came roaring back to overpower Fed for most the rest of the match.

What people seem to ignore is sometimes it's too difficult to execute certain strategies against another player, and do so consistently. Murray got criticized for not coming to net more often, S and V, and so forth, but as he said, which i agree, it's not that easy. To just blindly do so against someone so good is foolhardy and is more likely to cost the match.strategy is one thing, but execution is another. the other guy may be too good - both shot and adjustment.

To win 4 out 6 Rolland Garros is not really problem for king of clay, and to win 2 of 6 wimbledon is easy for nadal, and finally to win just 1 out of 12 hard court GS also easy for nadal, so sure nadal gone to break Federer record

Feds just gotta use the same mental approach to this match as in the semis.

realistic analysis... I'm a federer fan, but I have said before, if he can take nadal to 5 sets on a claycourt, I am very happy already regardless of the score

When fed starts to dictate points he should use the drop shot as much as he can, because Rafa stands so far back on the dirt. It will take pressure off him hitting so many winners. He should also use that off forehand to Rafa's forehand to push Rafa off the court a bit.

I agree with FYB2007 analysis even though Will is discussing how Federer can beat Nadal and then concludes that Nadal will win! I think Federer will win - simply because he is more relaxed ... he has taken out Djokovic ... there is less pressure on him and he can take his time ... he knows Nadal's game.

@TheFedererNadallover lol. it would be so funny if Nadal beat Federer in the final again because it would give the impression that nothing has changed, it's like as if to say that even if they met in the 2009 final, Nadal would've still won. If now Federer serves like he did in his semi against Novak....

@Uninserious i know he cant ... thats why i wanted Djokovic to beat Federer ! Fed has no chance of beating nadal. He doesn't have the physical or mental strength to beat nadal !
