Btw, I picked Nadal in 4.
Count Grishnackh said:Too bad you Fed fans had to hope for Agassi to take out the man who's gonna beat Fed in the final again. Watch out Fed fans, Rafa is coming for you, you better pray Roddick or Hewitt are still in the tournament when he gets to the semifinal. Fed's pimp just owned Agassi today.

federerhoogenbandfan said:LOL! What a dumb statement, as if Federer would ever allow him more then 10 winners on grass, let alone 44. Federer is not an old Agassi.
MR. 81 said:please don't insult my intelligence of course I was referring to a hypothetical 3 set match where Rafa actually REPEATED those numbers. I know it's impossible (specially against Federer) but if you read the previous posts maybe you'll get my point ¿ok?
federerhoogenbandfan said:Well Federer has played matches on grass with 60 winners and 12 unforced errors remember. Sorry I misinterpreted you the first time however.
FedererUberAlles said:You mean the match against Roddick?
jaykay said:I am watching the taped match on NBC right now and I honestly think Agassi played his heart out. He may hv won against somebody else, but not Nadal today...
This kid is REALLY too quick around the court. Against some other mere mortal, Agassi would hv had a boatload of winners; this crazy Spaniard runs down EVERYTHING.
Hope Hewitt stops Nadal in the semis...
FedererUberAlles said:I agree. Everyone else left in the tournament should just pull out.
VamosRafa said:*lol* That's right -- let's just put Rafa and Roger out on Centre Court on Monday and be done with it.
Seriously, I don't think Rafa will get to the final -- but I think the QF is do-able. And if he plays the way he did today, he could progress beyond that.
But he's still learning. With only 12 or 13 TOTAL grass matches in his back pocket (including the ones he has lost), he still has things to improve. But the improvements he's made in one week have been somewhat surprising.
FedererUberAlles said:Why even do that? We all know Nadal would totally win 6-0, 6-0, 6-0, DUH!!!!!!!!
Q. It's reasonable to believe that [Nadal's] going to get even better on grass as he plays more and more on it. Is it too early to think what a lot of people might have thought was unthinkable before this tournament, that he could actually challenge Roger Federer on a grass court?
ANDRE AGASSI: How do you say he couldn't, or anybody really at that matter? I mean, listen, we all marvel at what Roger has done, there's no question, none more than me. I watch him play and have an appreciation for it from not just the stands but also the best seat in the house, which is the other side of the net. So I've admired it and all that. But, you know, if tennis was as easy as phoning in the results, you know, I would have just called in a win today against Nadal, you know. Just doesn't happen that way. You have to come out; you have to do it. That's one thing that I keep speaking to in competition, you know. The competitor's heart and mind leave a lot of room for a lot of things that we might think is crazy to happen.
VamosRafa said:If you say so. ;-)
Read Agassi's interview today, though. Because he knows he's retiring soon, he gave lots of interesting insights on Rafa's game. But I thought this one was interesting:

Agassi couldnt even win a set,and all i read here was how agassi was going to beat nadal.
FedererUberAlles said:You sure showed them!!

No, Rafa showed 'em.

Steve Dykstra said:You gettin' a bit nervous there uberallies? In the past few days you have posted a ton of messages exactly like this one.
Steve Dykstra said:That does not show at all how much fed lovers hate nadal. The only thing it shows is that people thought Agassi was a better grass court player at this point in time. Myself, being a Fed fan, thought Nadal would win. It has nothing to do with Federer, sheesh.
Steve Dykstra said:I'll take Nadal in 5. Agassi will not be coming to the net and pressuring Nadal like the last guy was. That will allow Nadal to get more comfortable out there with his groundstrokes and he will eventually wear Agassi down.
FedererUberAlles said:No, you and Nadal!!! SOO COOL!!!!
DUDE OMG!!! Nadal is the greatest ever!!! Grass is his best surface, didn't you see today's match!! He's going to eat Federer alive!!
rrhstennis said:OK YOU GOT ME!!!!
Because of the fact that I thought Agassi was going to make Nadal play a game uncomfortable to him and take the win, that really meant I love Federer and I just can't stand that ass picking Nadal!
...
superman1 said:But even Nadal made the same prediction that we did 5 minutes into the warm-up. Apparently, during the warm-up Nadal could barely even return Agassi powerful, low groundstrokes and thought that he would lose the match easily.
Count Grishnackh said:Exactly, you love Federer. No really, you're a Nalbandian fan. True?
