Federer: Nadal Folds;A Win-Win Situation

[Conquistador]

Im not sure as far as statistics go--but is this Roger Federer's first back to back clay court titles. Beating Nadal in Madrid, and then winning at Roland Garros-puts him in territory where he hasnt been? I know that this has to be a tremendous boost for roger's confidence. It makes you think that it will be certain that roger will extend his playing years..

Federer didn't win Roland Garrsos yet. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I don't know how getting back to back claycourt titles will extend his playing years. I dont' think he has before BTW

It's more important that he get the FO-Wimbledon double. Wimbledon looks very good for him, as he's got a good counter to Nadal's main strategy.

Nothing is certain in tennis. I expected Nadal to get through today in straights!

I think Conquistador is some Federer hater in disguise, always making stupid threads trying to jinx Fed or make Fed fans looking like idiots. I'm sure he is not even from Basel.

The OP is jumping the gun he seems to forget federer is still in the fourth round
