yes federer was the one in the same half of the draw as defending champ and world number one, novak djokovic. Are we forgetting Fed beat him? While Murray was actually in the half with no top 4 player any longer. Just like in 2009 when Nadal pulled out of Wimbledon and the 2 top seeds remaining (fed and Djokovic) ended up in the same half and Murray blew his easy chance to make the final.

The only difference is Federer made the most of his chances hen he got them.

Fed might not have had to play Nadal but neither has murray, so I hope Federer can deny Murray a gift. Fed at least has had to beat Djokovic.

he wasn't guaranteed a winner at all in this year's championships. djokovic was expected to take federer out handily in the semis and he has yet to play murray.

rafa losing early will always make a tournament final easier for fed, since he wouldn't have to face rafa en route, but i disagree that he plays more freely when nadal is out of the tourney. aside from the final, i'll argue that he plays with more pressure knowing nadal is out and his chances of winning have increased. this year's wimby and FO 09 come to mind. as conjecture, if federer and nadal were to have met in the final this year, federer would have had a great chance of winning considering how he's playing in comparison to nadal.

What "Nadal hate"? I love Nadal for the generous gift he has given to tennis fans, especially for those in the U.K. It's going to be one heck of a final tomorrow.

Thanks again for being so thoughtful and considerate, Rafa! You are the best and we love you for it.

Why is it that when Nadal loses early at a Slam, good things happen?


What good has happened ? Has the crime rate reduced? Or has global warming reduced. Solar activity ? AIDS cure? Nadal picking? Please be specific.

Shouldn't be the case... the GOAT should be able to destroy a moonballing cheating butt-picking hack on all surfaces and have a winning record against such a clown and need not rely on other players playing over their head to clear his way for a title win, wait a minute...

Your post said nothing about it needing to be a major numbnuts. But I guess a win isn't a win unless it's in a major.

We will also be treated to an emotionally charged, equally-paired final with so much at stake for both players, and the crowd will be so much into this final like never before.

So let's give Nadal a round of applause for losing early. Thanks, Rafa! You couldn't have done more to give us a more interesting final.
You realize, you're basically saying Nadal has to lose early to let the other top guys win.

Nice compliment, Nadal sends his gratitude!

Yes, of course I realize that's what I'm saying. Isn't it obvious? No need to be a rocket scientist to understand what I'm saying.

That's why I'm thanking Nadal for losing early. Or else we wouldn't have this incredible final set up for tomorrow.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rafa!!

Nadal finally got a harder than average draw and, to no surprise, he lost early.

Thank the ITF (or lady luck if you so choose), not Nadal.

Obviously you not only have reading comprehension problems,but foot in mouth disease as well considering you're the one who started this thread. Doesn't say much about your supposed intelligence does it,Poly?

All England Club are incredibly thrill because the rating for the final is going to high. The ticket prices for the best seats are range from $4000 to $9000! It's like game 7 of the NBA final in the USA.

OMG, you just contradicted yourself in a single sentence. But I don't expect you to understand that. If I'm the OP and wrote the OP, why would I need to read and comprehend the OP?

You seem to think you caught me at something - that I didn't realize I did something. That's where you failed reading comprehension.

The point of this thread is that Murray had little chance of making the final if Nadal had not lost early and that Federer has little chance of winning the title if Nadal had not lost early. Nothing could be more obvious that that's what I'm saying. But it went right over your head, didn't it?
