Default Canas won - Do you think Gaudio is back to his choking state?

He just lost two finals in a row with players not ranked within the top ten. Do you think he is back to normal? The choking cat is back?

lol... I don't think that reaching two finals in two weeks, playing 10 matches in 14 days and losing once in a deciding 3rd set tiebreaker and another time in a close 5 set match can be considered as "choking"

if yes, I would also like to be called a "choker"

Interesting to note that his last three finals have all been against fellow Argentinians - still, Canas had been a runner-up in Stuttgart twice before so he deserved to win at last, and bearing in mind it took Gaudio 16 minutes just to hold for 2-0 after getting that break in the fifth it's not as though he was completely in charge of the match and then let it all slip away from him.

He still won the final that mattered most, and unfortunately akin, you can't change that.

ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I remember this one time when I went on a vacation on the Maldives. That was in the year 2001, I think. I went to this spa. I went to walk around with my girlfriend. I walk in, and we want to book a spa. This guy goes, "AHH, I remember you. You beat Sampras. I saw you on TV." That was like, really, how can you remember me? This guy has probably never been off his island and still knows me. I was a little bit shocked. Then I went to play tennis with him because he was actually the tennis teacher. It was nice.

Q. Were you naked at the time in the spa?

ROGER FEDERER: No. It was at the front desk. I didn't walk in naked.

I have to agree with you, Neely...

If thats the case, I would like to be called a choker too

I haven't seen these matches, but it was my first thought when I saw the results. I thought he would kick on from here, but still losing matches he should win on clay. Having said that he won the biggest prize and thats all that matters.

4 finals this year. All of them went the distance. He only has a 1-3 record in those finals, but fortunately for him he won the one that mattered. Although, I'm sure he does want to solidify his Roland Garros win with another clay court title, and these back-to-back final losses must be disappointing.

I don't think so. As previously said, Gaudio won the one that counted.

Gaudio can only win a final if his opponent is injured. MIAU

Congratulations ale/akin all these variations of the same thing, your trolling expertise knows no bounds.

Then again your expertise in the field of medicine isn't much, not that mine is, but at least I know this. If it was then you would know cramp is not actually an injury.

Who won the title that counted?
