Fedal rematch?

[Luiz Felipe]

So french open organizers agreed that the conditions were harsh and unfair to the players, if not djokovic should be defaulted , which didn't happen.

So the first semifinal wasn't fair either , so, should we get a fedal rematch?

 

[TahoeTennis]

nah.

now get off the internet and don't come back, k?

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Fed lost fair and square. Unless the condition they change is putting the match on grass it was always going to be an L.

But the guy is an elder and has two daughters , he needs respect.

 

[AndyM]

Fed was never going to win the surface was Clay it didn't matter any other condition

 

[Lleytonstation]

He lost how we all thought he would... straights.

Fed, and myself included are ready for grass season and as of now are not thinking about this match anymore.

 

[kevaninho]

Scoreline would've been the same if no wind IMO. It affected both players.

 

[Sephiroth]

You want the conditions to be hot and sunny? Nadal would give out actual bakery products instead. The conditions also hampered Nadal's game. His best clay game is always on a hot sunny day when the ball is high and flying, that's when his topspin has maximum potential.

I know, i am kidding with this joke. But i even woke up early to watch a nice match . I believe the match would have been better with no wind.

 

[EloQuent]

No. Fedr lost. That Djokovic is cheating and getting away with it is no excuse

I am kidding, nadal had to adapt as well. But the quality of the game would have been better.
Actually i think the real victim here is thiem because he had the momentum

 

[OhYes]

Repeat

Nadal was utterly terrifying against Stan in 2017 under those sweltering conditions.

The Doll's fitness has always been impeccable, but on Clay it borders on the unfair.

 

[icedevil0289]

imo they should have extended it so that it played first week at wimbledon. only fair thing to do

Says it all

 

[TheIntrovert]

Nadal was also dealing with the wind. It wasn’t just on federers side of the court

 

[tennis_pro]

nah.

Dude you write the same post over and over again. I wouldn't mind if you showed some creativity in writing the same stuff but it's copy and paste instead.

 

[OhYes]

Why was Fed so pissed then ? Why he smashed that ball - something he rarely does ?

 

[World Beater]

nadal was amazing today.

he just had answer to everything federer threw at him.

Nadal is one match to coming within 2 slams of federer.

Nadal has a great shot of becoming the GOAT.

I cant remember federer showing this type of form in a slam at the same age. Of course nadal on clay is unlike anybody in history on any surface.

Nadal has now made finals of AO, finals of RG.

Federer is vulnerable on the faster surfaces. his reaction times and form on faster surfaces have not been so-so since Wimbledon of last year.

Not sure why that means you’d need to replay the match though.

 

[OhYes]

Again. Why does fed being frustrated with himself mean it was unfair? There’s no rule about the wind. Both Nadal and Thiem were dealing with the same conditions.

 

[OhYes]

I didn't say it was unfair, I asked why he was so pissed ? He normally doesn't do such things.

I assumed you were considering that’s the thread topic. Well I can’t remember what point it was, but I assume he had just been broken.

That would be fair. A good idea.

 

[OhYes]

I assume also that he was pissed in general from the start, and that specific point made him explode.

Perhaps. He said in his presser the wind didn’t allow him to play the game plan he wanted. Explode is a little extreme though. Just some frustration. He was perfectly content in the press room
