Federer is smooth, Nadal is jerky

And that's all she wrote folks!

Federer is rubber, Nadal is glue. Or the other way around, who cares as long as they play more Wimby finals like 07 and 08?
 
Herr Sentinel .... ROFL X 1080! Oustanding!

Good to see you recovering your sublime form again! It has been sorely missed :)

jbf, did umean Uranus?

Federer = Sherlock Holmes
Nadal = KGB

Federer = Spitfire
Nadal = B15 Bomber

Federer = Sniper
Nadal = Terrorist ;-)
 
Let's not kid ourselves, Federer is definitely an INCREDIBLY smooth player. Yet, so was this "Viking":

Coincidence? I think not..

Nadal may be more "jerky" than Federer, so to speak, but I would use the term more "violent" in his shotmaking.

I'll say this, I think BOTH Federer and Nadal are exceedingly cool to watch, especially with all the contrasts. You Fed and Nadal fans should enjoy this rivalry while it lasts because you never know when it'll suddenly just be "over".

I love the fact that each generates more spin than all of the other players on the Tour, which makes for some jawdropping winners.

I'm not surprised this comes from a Borg fan...The Borg-Mac rivalry was indeed special.
Well said sir.
 
Nadal is interesting to watch when he puts viscous topspin on the ball, but NOT when he's just bumrooting the ball back and forth.
 
But of course. Federer lost so smoothly, and Nadal won so jerky. Smooth losses are definitely much better than hard wins.
