He would have lost. That lefty Nadal forehand he swings it so much that Fed is out of position defending it. From there it's simple for Nadal, he will either pound it again and again or exploit the open forehand.
No other player, particularly right handers can hit with such swing and get him out of position.

I think Murray's 2 handed backhand matches up so much better than Roger's backhand against Rafa's forehand. Murray does Roger's dirty work for him.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
What is Fed was eliminated by Andreev during the 1st round?
What if Isner had Davy had beaten Fed?
What if Nadal lost in the the first round?
What if TW sold women's lingerie instead of tennis gear?
What if the earth was a triangle?
What if ....

Hard to say.
Federer has always been a mental midget and stupid tactician against Nadal, save for a few matches (like Madrid). I think he would've won, Nadal wasn't playing as well as last year and Federer played even better.
No, you're wrong. Roger had 71 winners to 64 unforced errors last year against Nadal (+7) and this year against Murray, he had 46 winners to 42 unforced errors (+4).

I think so. Federer was serving well this AO, unlike the previous one. It would have been enough to win in 4 or 5..
Not comparable. Conditions were much slower this year.
trye, but he can beat Rog sorry..he can. Not saying he would have but Nadal has Rog's number and can compete with him tit for tat mentally. Injusies and pains start to go away when you are playing the number one guy. Nadal will become the hunter now and even though I have posted here that I think it is over for him (still do) I think that knowing he can beat the number one in the world and goat will keepi him hungery perhaps.
Rafa has to be playing great tennis to reach slam finals. That's why he has won almost all his slam finals.
Excellent point. Fed makes slams finals even when not playing great.
Fed is so talented he can reach slam finals even playing subpar tennis:shock:
Wow... you're alive and still the same AJK1.The OP is an idiot, Discuss.....
Really?
You would call Federer's play against Tsonga subpar?
What about his play against Djokovic at the USO. Or against Haas at Wimby. Or against Del Po and Roddick in Australia?
Almost every tournament involves a Federer beat down in the later rounds. You cannot do that playing subbpar tennis
Wow... you're alive and still the same AJK1.
Nadal summarizes the end of Fed, but he couldn't get past Murray?The fed fans can talk big now, but believe me they were celebrating big time when nadal got beat by murray.
They can deny it all they want but the majority of them do not want to see nadal play their hero in a final again.They can only take seeing him cry like a little girl so many times.

omg, don't be so bitter. Its not Roger's fault that Rafa is injured. Most Roger fans here gave Andy a very good chance of winning. Most of us assumed Andy was going to win.They can deny it all they want but the majority of them do not want to see nadal play their hero in a final again.They can only take seeing him cry like a little girl so many times.
This is no imagination, but hey whatever you say dreamer.You are actually going to deny the fed fans celebrating when rafa loses? This proves how ignorant you are.
Also You say that most fed fans thought murray was going to win. You just make one dumb statement after another.I would suggest that you get a clue+ a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
