Battle of the Surfaces - Federer vs. Nadal

[Andres]

Why more pics, Matt?
It's going to be the same than those other pics

 

[Andres]

Guess who passed whom? Again!? LOL
Nadal passes Fed, 0-15, Fed serving to the grass side.

Double fault!!

 

[LleytonH2007]

im in a black box lol, its so weird following scores like this whilst im at work, im used to being infront of the tv jumping around in excitement lol,.

it sounds like so much fun though, does it not look really strange seeing the ball move really fast on the grass side then slow on the clay side?

 

[Andres]

Awesome return!
30-40, BP

 

[Andres]

Nadal breaks!
3-1, serves to the clay side

 

[asitkin]

Actually it’s on SopCast channels 18190 and 20036 and not much of entertaining, quite boring as matter of fact. Everybody so serious only Fed is smiling. Maybe they expected something like a bull fight.

 

[Andres]

0-40, triple break point for Fed!

 

[Tchocky]

This match looks fixed to me. Roger is just missing too many volleys. Nadal will probably win 7-5, 4-6, 6-3.

 

[Andres]

That slice backhand bounced only 2 inches!
Fed breaks at love.

 

[Andres]

30-40, Fed serving to the clay side...
Nadal hits the forehand long! deuce

 

[LleytonH2007]

What happened then? nadal gave it him or federer did well

 

[Andres]

Adv Fed, and another deuce!
A wide forehand on the run for Nadal. Adv Fed

Hhaha! Bad bounce on the clay, right on the line, Nadal MISSED the swing!

 

[Andres]

Horrendous grass bounce, Nadal is 15-0, serving to the grass side.

 

[Andres]

Serve and forehand. A combo that works
30 all. Nadal serving

 

[Andres]

Fed nets the forehand. Nadal has a game point

 

[Benhur]

what's the overall score so far?

 

[Andres]

Deuce, great rally! Fed's defense on grass is outstanding.

 

[Andres]

what's the overall score so far?

3-3, Deuce.
Sorry, 3-3, Adv Nadal

 

[Andres]

Game, Nadal.
Rafael leads 4-3. Fed to serve

 

[Benhur]

I assume this is the 3rd set. Did they split the first two?

 

[Andres]

Yup, 7-5, 4-6

 

[Attila the tennis Bum]

This match looks fixed to me. Roger is just missing too many volleys. Nadal will probably win 7-5, 4-6, 6-3.

Have you noticed that this is all fed fans ever say when Nadal & fed play each other. After 10 mmatches now I think you have to admit that Nadals style of play just makes Fed look bad. he chases all of feds balls down until he makes an unforced error.

 

[Baghdatis72]

I can't believe I'm missing this match :x

I hope someone is recording it on the pc

 

[asitkin]

The only funny thing is how they change their shoes.

 

[The Victor]

I can't believe it's not better
(stole this from Late Night with Conan O'Brien)

 

[Andres]

Fed holds at 30.
It's 4 games all.

Nadal to serve

 

[Baghdatis72]

4-4 now and Nadal serving! Looks like it's going for a tie break!

 

[kingdaddy41788]

There's a shocker. It's an exhibition match!

 

[Andres]

15-15, Nadal serving from the grass side.
Fed misses the easy forehand to the open court. 30-15

Anooooother pass by Nadal! 40-15

 

[Andres]

Serve and forehand. Nadal leads 5-4 in the third.
Fed serves to stay in the match, but serves from the clay side

 

[Attila the tennis Bum]

If this goes into a tiebreaker then its staged!

 

[Batoussai]

I think it's going into a tiebreak

 

[Baghdatis72]

There's a shocker. It's an exhibition match!

Sponsors: "Okay guys let's give a tight 1st set to Nadal, a tight 2nd set to Federer and get the 3rd set to a tie break. From then on the best player wins "

 

[Attila the tennis Bum]

Holy crap...the chicks in the crowd are HOT!!! I gotta go to Spain!

 

[Baghdatis72]

If this goes into a tiebreaker then its staged!

What did you expect? It's business.

 

[Andres]

If it's staged, it doesn't look like it. They're both getting really bad bounces on grass, and they both look frustrated playing on this ultrafast grass.

And they're both hitting with quite some intensity.

Service winner from Fed. 15-0
Sorry, 15-15, bad backhand volley.

15-30, Fed hit the forehand wide!

(btw, he's serving to the CLAY side, not the grass side)

30 all !

 

[Shaolin]

If this goes into a tiebreaker then its staged!

Seriously. The agreement was probably to take it to a 3rd set TB and then play for real to decide the match.

 

[kingdaddy41788]

I'll only be shocked if it DOESN'T go to a tie-break. From there, I'm betting Nadal will win it, as it is played in his home town.

 

[Benhur]

If this goes into a tiebreaker then its staged!

Why? Are tiebreakers a sign of fakery?

 

[Andres]

He misses the forehand pass to go MP!
Now it's Deuce!
Nadal two points away from victory!

 

[Andres]

Amazing angled shot from the service line by the swiss.

And he does it AGAIN! Same shot!!

Nadal serves 5-5 to the grass side.
15-0! Serve and forehand combo

 

[asitkin]

Have you noticed that this is all fed fans ever say when Nadal & fed play each other. After 10 mmatches now I think you have to admit that Nadals style of play just makes Fed look bad. he chases all of feds balls down until he makes an unforced error.

Apparently he doesn’t make them enough

 

[sw00sh]

ooh noo!!! nadal going to pull a win on this historical court or halve-courts match....

 

[Tchocky]

How many exhibitions have these two played against each other? And what were the results?

 

[Andres]

He changes for a bit: Serve and backhand, lol!
30-0

Wow! backhand winner from Fed off a bad bounce grass dropshot. Unbelievable! That's talent, man!

30-15

 

[sw00sh]

I only remember once exhibition recently in Korea, Fed won.

 

[Andres]

Same medicine for Fed: Topspin angled shot from the service line!

40-30, as Nadal misses the counter-dropshot.

 

[Andres]

Topspin approach to Fed's backhand, Fed throws a lob, Nadal smashes it to the open court.

Fed serves to take it to the TB!

 

[Andres]

Fed serves to the grass court, 5-6
15-0

 

[Andres]

That forehand slice DIES on the grass. Didn't-bounce-at-all.
40-15.

Ace! 6-6!!!

Tiebreak time!!!!!

They're taking it way more seriously than other exhibitions!
