Not like the exciting grindfests between Nadal and Djokovic.

Good win by JMDP. I watched the third set and it didn't come across as a high quality match. Although Fed had some winners off it, his BH was awful, he had to shorten his swing and couldn't trust it. So deserved outcome for both players.

To be fair, Nadal turns every match into a grindfest, regardless of the opponent.
Except when he's playing Rosol ofcourse.

On a Brighter Note Fed will be #1 for atleast another week!! 302
Im a neutral tennisfan. I TRY to live in the moment.
after bandwagon means nothing to me.
Delpo did well to overcome his demons, as he is too good of a player not to win sometimes against these kind of players. Well done.

Fed might have got that one with a bigger racket!
He may have not been able to save his jewels with the poor maneuvarbility of the bigger headsize.

Good for Delpo. I was a bit disappointed to get back and see that Fed had lost, but it's alright.

Well Djokovic does what he has to do, it's Nadal who's forcing him into grinding.

Story of Nadal's life.
Story of Nadal's life:
Most dominant player at a slam EVER (52 wins out of 53 matches at Roland Garros), and only dropped ONE set in his 7th Roland Garros title (despite needing painkillers to take the court).
Only player to win Roland Garros, Wimbledon and US Open on clay, grass and hardcourt in the same year.
Owns Federer for life. Nadal leads Federer 8-2 at slams, and has won their last 5, including 2 at Australia.
Lost to Rosol at Wimbledon 2nd Round, but nowhere near as bad as losing in the 1st Round of Wimbledon THREE times (as Federer did).

Gave me a good laugh there. Impossible to spin this one in your favor. Nadal's humiliating, potentially career-ending loss came in his prime after making 8 finals out of the 9 previous slams. Federer's losses were when he was nary a fraction of the player that went on to win a record 17 slams. But I don't need to remind you about that remarkable feat.

Don't worry, I used to sometimes hit the ground before the net on my serve before I learned the proper technique. One day, Nadal will be as good as I am.

Congratulations to Del Potro for finally battling his way through and winning against Federer. He was getting closer and closer with each match, and after so many heart breaking losses, especially that silver medal match in London, it was nice to see him finally come through against his great rival.
There is so much respect there between these two, you can see the genuine appreciation that they have for each other. Sad for Roger, but Juan Martin had to have his day, and today was it, and well deserved too.
I am sure Roger will bounce back. He has had a long year, and it has got to take its toll. I'm hoping that both players get to bring that magic they have when they play each other into more big matches.
And after reading this thread....wow, Juan Martin really does have a very sad sad supporter here. A class act like him deserves better.

He was trying to be gracious. I think he did very well.
(Roger is a terrible loser, LOL. I share that with him, so I empathize.
)And it's not like he was beaten by some tomato can. DelPo played very well.

Wow. Even insulting Federer's wife. That's low and pathetic.
When you were first on here I thought you were a decent poster but you're easiliy one of the nastiest, petty, butt hurt unpleasant posters on here. At least nadalwon/nsk/bullziller etc is a bit funny, you just come off as an idiot calling 17 times slam winners frauds and mocking them because at 31 they're going to lose a bit to Nadal/Djokovic?Murray when your own favourite in his prime can't buy a win vs them.
What makes it worse is you're always going on about how nasty fed fans are. Total hypocrite. Enjoy your life :lol: Must hurt that even a 31 year old "fraud" has as many slam wins this year as your boy does in his career and possibly ever.
