Default stick with your pony (mild spoiler)

Just about everyone knows by now that the predicted final is here. Well, Federer is gonna prove a lot of doubters wrong tomorrow. So many people have said that Nadal has Federer's number, but when Federer beats Nadal for the French Open title, will many of you jump back on the Federer gravy train? If you picked Federer to lose, you'll be proven wrong so don't act like true Federer fans just because he wins when you were actually rooting for him to lose.

If Fed loses Nadal fans will gloat. Either way...

I'm rooting for Fed though.

He was saving it for the big dance.

If Fed beats Nadal tomorrow, everyone will forget about the wins Nadal had over Fed during the earlier part of this year because they won't compare to the French Open, especially because its on Nadal's fav. surface.

This is the one that counts, my man. I really like how Federer set up this final conflict where he made himself look like the underdog just so he could prove people wrong when in actuality, Roger always could beat Rafael, but he just wanted to make it look dramatic. That Roger, always putting on a show for the fans.

Even if Fed loses tomorrow (which I'm hoping he doesn't), he'll still be the better player and more fun to watch. Nadal's game is just ugly, and his appearance and actions are even worse. I dislike Nadal with a passion, and that won't change no matter how many matches he wins.

Don't hold back Ambro.


But as far as Nadal goes I apprciate his game and what he brings, but I don;t think I would ever be a fan. But I like to watch him on the clay courts, that's my kind of tennis. Watching Roger overcome that, makes me feel even better.

I am not American, so what are you trying to say?

Let me take that back, I was born in America, which technically makes me an American, but I was raised outside of the states.

I attended university for both undergraduate and graduate in America though, but your might have a point there..lol

nadal is the biggest ***ot on the tour........ the commentators have *** with him all day long and talk about how fit he is.............

i have no respect for anyone wearing those gay spandex pants he wears. honestly he is just so annoying i want to punch the commentators when they talk about him. and the commentators talk to good of fed aswell.
