It's not wrong to say that because Fed said it, but had Rafa or Novak said that if Fed lost then this place would explode.

THe problem is Rafa fans can accept the loss and move on, the guy was just playing waaaaaayyyyyy above his ranking he was in god mode in the fifth. Sure Rafa should've played better earlier on but it shouldn't surprise anyone that even the very best players can have an off day and when that happens against someone having their best day, the result is obvious.

Had Fed lost, the excuses would've come pouring in, Fed's got a bad back, Fed's got mono, Fed's chest hairs were causing him discomfort...

There would be something don't worry about that.

Good you can be angry about something hypothetical.

Well I didn't join immediately I browsed for a while lol. Anyway doesn't eliminate the facts that that's typical ******* behaviour. I had a lengthy discussion with Mandy and she (assuming since mandy is a girl's name) seemed to find an excuse for nearly every single Fed loss in the past whether it was mono, decline etc.

Well, is it not reasonable that if a high ranked player loses to a much lower ranked player, or one he regularly beats then there could be reasons on the side of the higher ranked player.

e.g. if Soderling beats Nadal and then goes down to Fred, one would be quite reasonable in assuming that Nadal had a problem, than that Soderling was having a superior season. Especially, if Nadal does not appear at WO after that.

Or if Nadal loses to Ferrer at AO, someone he has never (or almost) lost to.

Now Federer had a poor season by his standards in 2008 after which he did come back. Does it make more sense that everyone who beat him during that period suddenly became better for a few months, and then they all declined, or that just he was affected by an illness (for which he was hospitalized in January).

However, people like you like to see things through one lens for your favorite player, and another lens for another player. The other player is "not giving credit" if he claims illness/injury.

Benny is not a nobody who was hitting 100MPH winners off both wings to a dazed Nadal who couldn't figure out wtf was happening. Big difference.

If Fed and Novak and everyone else learned anything is that they should attach the heck out of Rafa's serve and dance around while he's wasting time picking his butt. Let him waste all that time trying to serve and then put his serve back and bouncing off the back wall before he even lands back down from his service push. $20 says he'll be thinking about that instead during his next service ritual. Keep doing it and you got him.

Rafa seems to turn into a punching bag. The hard part though is getting him to swing like one first. If you can do that, he's toast. Fed proved it earlier this year and Rosol proved it last week.

How do you think Fed would have done against Rosol?

After 5 sets of Rafa serving , they are happy they are finally going home before they get declared missing persons

Honestly, at worst dropped a set and then figured a way out. Fred has too many tools in his tool box for Rosol. However, it's hypothetical, he could have fared just as badly, we'll never know.

[selesian]

SexiRogi laughing at Nadal's loss is totally understandable -- after all, Rosol did him a huge favour by eliminating the only player who makes the old fart's testicles shrink and shrivel in a best-of-five Slam match.

I took what he said to mean things can be unpredictable in Slams and that’s what makes them exciting to watch.
