2 BPs Fed

laura: betfair

Fed already broke him! :worship:

Federer breaks right away, *1-0

Federer:worship:

2 BPs Nadal

sloppy game roger :(

Nadal breaks back :lol:

High quality match, not!

Eh, knew it was too good to be true. Nadal breaks back, *1-1

Fed gives it right back, 1-1*

that was pathetic

Nadal holds with a dropshot

roger giving away points so far. great dropshot by rafa

2-2

Fed 2-2*

laura: betfair
I can't open an account from the US, apparently. :(

im watching on a bigscreen but the quality kinda sucks so i can barely see the ball :(

they re both playing so bad atm ... :ras:

Fed *2-3

I wonder how many UEs they already made..

How is the quality of play? Sadly have got F1 on starsports and EPL on espn.

they are both extremly edgy at the moment.

Fed holds, 3-3*

good play starting to show but so far they are a bit edgy

wow, great play by Fed!

3Bps

roger has been ridiculously good in this game

nice shot by rafa! this is geting good

Come On Nadal

1st one saved

Two outstanding dropshots seperated by a running around the backhand return of second serve winner led to triple break point. Nadal saves one.

Fed *4-3

brilliant game from Rog, must hold now

yes, he did it!

Great fh down the line, followed by a volley and an error by Nadal.

Drop shots on Nadal's backhand. Here is the key !

Fed breaks! *4-3

Nadal Will Brake Back

*0-30

poor game by fed

0-30

error nadal

15-30

Cum On Nadal Brake Him

roger is a master at giving breaks back

Wtf? Plays amazingly to break and then starts piling on UEs. 0-30.

omg lol

2 BPs Nadal

wtf was this forehand roger :rolls:

lucky again Nadal

He broke back

How lucky is Rafa?

poor stuff from Fed

roger is breaking easier than holding

R.Nadal *4-4 R.Federer

1st Ace Nadal ;o)

ill be back after frst set is over

Yes Nadall

Fed *4-5

Pain in the ass watching this 1st set so far

Come On Nadal 5-4*

I can't believe Roger has choked 2x consolidating a break.

Now R.Nadal Brake Him

So many breaks Must be nerves, playing each other after a long time, that too in a final. Fed looked lethal against nole yesterday.

What was going with Fed's mind?
Playing so well to break Rafa twice... and then handed back the breaks straight away with poor plays????

It's almost as though Federer doesn't want this one...*sigh*

From 40-0 to deuce

Is it just me or has this been the most boring Nadal/Federer clash?

5-5

Fed 5-5*

Go Roger, 5-5!

Those errors committed by Fed were horrible!!!

Snooze fest of a final. :o

Fed Backhand
0 Winners
8 UEs

Fed *5-6

good game from rafa :cool:

time to break :devil:

So disappointed at Fed the way he allowed Rafa to stay in this 1st set! It's just terrible!

As always Roger's BH breaks down too many times

It's always the same with Fed, either he cannot convert the BPs or gets rebreaked immediately.

Vamos Rogelio, *5-6!

Nadal 6-5* Federer

Nadal Would Love 2 Make It 2 Out Of 2 In Singlez Nd Doublez

Great bh dtl by Nadal

2 SPs Nadal

2 Set Pointz Rafaa

Terrible!
The last shot by Fed.... What was that??? To give up a set like this...... :o

Wow, great passing dropshot (or however you call that) by Nadal.
All in all, Fed gave it away..

awesome game rafa :eek:

simply fuc**** amazing

Well done Fed, always good backing up those bps....

Roger you mug.

what a shot by Nadal to win the set !! He made less UE and more Winners

Nice try Roger... Now, perhaps try taking out your 'A' game?:rolleyes:

R.Nadal 7-5 *0-0 R.Federer

Nadal has won it now - yes it's only the first set, but I would be amazed if Federer won the 2nd set let alone win the match. It'll never happen.

Nadal has won it now - yes it's only the first set, but I would be amazed if Federer won the 2nd set let alone win the match. It'll never happen.

Agreed it won't happen. I predict Rafa breaks him right away.

Clown era in clay. Everyone just bends over for Rafa.

this is best of 3 setz yh?

yeah best of 3

For ***** sake Ruski...

Calm down.


I expect a fiery 2nd set from both.

Roger you mug.

Don't be fickle now.

Do u know why all the Masters Series Finals r now best of 3 setz?

Agreed it won't happen. I predict Rafa breaks him right away.
Indeed he will. Roger will have to produce something special.

:zzz::zzz::zzz:

Nadal broken :P

Don't believe it.. Federer breaks Nadal. 1-0 to Fed in 2nd set.

Oh :o
Dangerous moment again for Fed.....
Can he consolidate the break this time?

Fed *1-0

can he hold?

Again Fed breaks Nadal to start the set. However, this FedMug will find a way to blow it.

Nadal 2 Brake Back

Awesome backhand from Federer. Nadal had no chance there.

roger is jesusfed mode :eek:

LIKE I SAID. I expect a fiery 2nd set. Federer saw too many chances in set 1 to not believe he has a chance in this match.

Use your brains oh so fickle ones. Especially Fed_Mug2007 and Mugstroke.

Come on Fed!!!! Please!!! Consolidate the break!!!

That's more like it! Whew...

YES!!! Finally......
Fed consolidates the break!!!!

well done roger :yeah:

Fed 2-0*

Roger goes from horrible to brilliant

Wow, I can't believe it. Fed actually consolidated a break of serve! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Again Fed breaks Nadal to start the set. However, this FedMug will find a way to blow it.

What kind of a Federer fan are you? Oh wait, the kind that only cares when he wins. :rolleyes:

This was one of the best games (from *1-0 to *2-0) I have ever seen, full of sick points.

Nadal DFs. Go for a double break!

0-30 a chance

this federer is good

wow :eek: Fed with a double break, *3-0

Nadal 0-30. DOUBLE BREAK! One break is never safe against Nadal.

3 bps Fed

0-40, Double Break Double Break Double Break Double Break!!!!!

Fed found his 6th gear

3-0 Federer

fed is playing so well now, no stupid ues so far.

rafa making some errors tho

Fed breaks again? Am I in the twilight zone?

Double Break!! *3-0

YES!!! Come on!!!!
Fed 3-0 up in 2nd set with a double break!!

Fed finally wakes up!!!

Fed *3-0

big game now, Fed can't let off

Yessss :devil:

vamos rafa break now :rocker2:

:lol:

Two pages ago this board was completely certain that Nadal would bagel Fed.

Come on Roger, hold serve!

*40-0

This match was always going to be interesting considering the more recent results between the two, irregardless of the surface.

solid stuff champ!

Get your Philadelphia ready, I feel a bagel coming on...

YAY!!!! Fed 4-0 up in the 2nd set!!!

Fed 4-0*

another easy game for roger :eek: i wonder what his winners/ue ratio in the 2ned set is
4-0

This FedMug is good! 4-0*.

Hmm I'm smelling bread products...

Impressive stuff from Fed in this second set so far. Nadal surely won't give up easily though :lol:

I dont wana sound like im bashing rafa but this shouldnt be a surprise. we all know that roger can do this if he stops this choking bullshit after each time he breaks he is unable to hold or he just doesnt break at all even when he is 0-40. didnt he got 18 break points none converted in a FO final? its all in his head and when he plays well and lets lose he can beat rafa..

Great play by Nadal
40-15
Followed by an error
40-30

rafa is so helpless when fed plays to his bh

awesome rally with awesome CC fh by rafa :drool:

something like not converting any of the first 10 chances and ending up not converting 16/17 bp chances.

Fed... Please hold ur serve in the next game... then break Rafa's serve to win the 2nd set!!! ;)

rafa is so helpless when fed plays to his bh

awesome rally with awesome CC fh by rafa :drool:

Nice little shout from Fed in the end :lol:

4-1

If he holds his next service game we will witness a great 3rd set!

Fed *4-1

*4-1 Fed to serve. *gulp*

rafa go break it's high time if you re still to mess things up in this set :)

Fed switched down a gear.

already blowing it...

Drop shot winner from Fed :)

here comes the fedmug ;) bp rafa

Followed by an UE for BP :(

bp Nadal

Oh Well... :o

Fed 4-2*

Roger's level is very up and down today

Poor. Nadal broke

Sigh...

awful game fed :(

2-4

*Shrugs* Has Federer saved a single BP in this match?


Whatever.

I think he will still win the set.

to be expected by mr choke

This FedMug is unbelievable... He just WANTS to lose!

Nadal plays better again and pushes him away

Just when you think Fed is ready to take off, he blows up.

I didn't really know what was going through with Fed's mind?
He played some beautiful angle shots to build up the 4-0 lead... but now he has gone back to the shell and hitting errors!!!

FedMug = James Blake

great atmosphere :)

rafa storming back into this set 3-4 with a very good game (simply hitting everything deep into fed's bh)

Fed *4-3

Nadal still likely to win in 2

2 straight terrible games, now Nadal will break back again!

Nadal def Federer 7-5, 6-4.

this is just poor..

fed playing shit now :( 0-30

Well this changed fast...

plus unlucky

3 BPs Nadal

0-40 tons of ues :(

3 bps Nadal

4-4 :o

Fed 4-4*

Nadal def Federer 7-5, 6-4.
Where's a mod when really needed? :rolleyes:

breaks to love.

rafa lost 2 points in last 3 games? :confused:

:tape: :help:

I STILL think that Federer will win the set.

WTA Match, so many breaks.

Nadal is sooo much in Fed's head, frustrating to watch

Nadal is sooo much in Fed's head, frustrating to watch
on clay ;)

rafa winning points so easily now

he's confident again

was that just the first backhand winner by fed?

Hit some more..

Roger:o

Fed *4-5

It's hard to put into words for Fed's performance.....

rafa playing awesome angles from... bh :rolls:

5-4 , 5 games striaght, ultimate fighter as he playes better and Fed makes some UE, but Nadal plays so much deeper shots

It's hard to put into words for Fed's performance.....

well, typical Fed-Nadal final

oh my :o what was this last shot ??!!

*shakeshishead*

0-15 3 more for Rafa to destroy any confidence left in Roger on clay against him

*shocked*

great volleys

I don't believe so. Even if Federer loses he has still seen enough to believe that he could win against him during the rest of the claycourt season.

Roger played some good points

roger going to the net :) only way to get some points here i m affraid :unsure:

Nadal is just a monster on clay

What a Forehand by Rafa

yeeeehaw this inside out fh rafa :D

Fed 5-5*

Federer finally holds again!

Surprise surprise he holds.

Why Fed needs to put himself into trouble? Believe in yourself!!!

Oh noo, i dont mind fed loosing, but this is pathetic, his new coach should be pulling his hair out.

Can't believe Federer choked from 4-0 up, match is over.

Sick

Break and hold is the order of the day from now on for Roger.

rafa is whicked with those fh

40 love

Nadal 5-5 40-0 up, match is OVER!!!

too easy for rafa. from the baseline he owns fed SO BADLY

Fed *5-6

what the fuck was this? Alibi dropshot..

Nadal one game away, finish him Rafa

Hold and tie-break.

Nadal 7-5 6-5

time to break :devil:

i guess rog will keep going to the net. all rafa needs now are couple awesome bh passing shots ;) vamos :rocker2:

It isn't time to break, it is time to hold and win the tie-break for Roger to take this match into an exciting 3rd.

15 all

whata return rafa :eek:

GP now...

30 all

just noticed, that cutie is again watching the line :drool:

Game point Roger

deuce :o
