Re-Djoko: don't raise your hopes too much: he lost all his clay matches to Rafa last year ! (but at least he won the ones vs Fed...)

It was implied that I meant Federer could not beat him on clay, specifically.

But he has beaten Nadal on clay more than once.

Yep, a staggering 2 times out of 14, an utterly pathetic record. But you must have been really happy when your favourite player, Djokovic, beat Nadal twice on clay, which would turn out to be the only times Djokovic would EVER beat Nadal on clay.

Nice one Batz we on the same team yup and Andy Roddick too!
Lebron was compared to Murray for so long as being most talented not to win the biggest prize and they both corrected it last year

Boooo! Spurs all the way. Sky haven't shown any of their games yet, but i'm used to getting up in the middle of the night to find a stream, or catch them on ESPN. It probably should of been a Spurs and Heat finals last year, before the collapse against the Thunder, fingers crossed for this year!

Rafa you mean? He can't beat Rafa on clay? Most of the time you're right. Still, Fed (along with Djoko) is the only player who's beaten him on clay more than once since 2005.

So what do we say now?

Its lovely how people act like Federer could never ever beat rafa in tennis, while he has done it ten Times including two Clayfinals as two Wimbledon finals.

Anyone from U.K. Know where to get a schedule of other matches like this one online available on Sky Sports?

i dont think there is..i think the nadal final was a snap decision to pay whoever in chile is hosting the broadcast as a one off..knowing that if they paid for a rafa match in a final on his comeback, the tv audience would be high enough to justify the one off purchase of match.

its not a regular thing for sky to show live 250/500 events in south america as the player pool is usually low in quality.

live tennis on sky is rotterdam 500 event from thursday onwards, with a more tv friendly list of players like federer, del potro, tsonga etc....
