it looks loke Berdych has already conceeded the match.
The King is like a Tsunami. You can prepare for it all you want, it's still going to wipe you out if you try to confront it.

Nadal apparently in peak form, and yet he can't even bagel Berdych on clay.
Barry Cowan is not a good commentator.
That's right Berdych, don't hit the ball hard, don't serve well, just be the pathetic piece of crap you truly are.
LOL. Is that really Andy Murray's facebook?
So Federer's wins against Roddick are not an accurate assessment?
LOL. Are you for real?
Barry Cowan is not a good commentator.
The pigeon is half done. Rafa has perfect timing for GOATing (just before RG )
Would you say Federer's wins against Roddick will tell you how his match up with the King will go? Really? :?
That pathetic piece of crap beat your boy yesterday :lol:
On red clay? Of course. By a landslide. Shame on Djoko for losing that match yesterday. I mean it.Ferrer > Berdych.
You mean when he decided to red hot his game by playing lights out tennis?
Don't make yourself more of an idiot than you are right now.
Nadal is unbelievable.. so good on clay. I just wish he had more competition on clay. Djokovic seems to be the only one who can make things difficult for him on clay. I wish Nadal would have had the clay competition from the 90's. I still think that Nadal would have ruled, but things would have been a lot more difficult for him with a lot of other clay court specialists around.
Which is good because you may have to wait 5 more years before Nadal starts letting go of clayYou can kid yourself all you want. True, Rafa won Madrid and will likely win Rome and RG, but look how close he got to losing? Ferrer in Madrid, Gulibs and Ferrer in Rome (not to mention losing his precious MC), Nadal just doesn't have those clay matches where he loses a game or two, players are getting closer and closer to beating him. Its only a matter of time. I'm patient

Yes. It's a cruel reminder, isn't it? :twisted:LOL, is the word for 'game' in Italian, 'Djoko'??????

There is more than enough clay as it is. Thanks but no thanks.
That I'm not sure I agree 100%. They're very close but Berd has made a slam final and he's beaten big names in slams (Fed, Djoko). Ferrer hasn't (or just Rafa).No, as a player. Ferrer is a better player full stop.
LOL, is the word for 'game' in Italian, 'Djoko'??????
Nope, its already happenning. Look at MC, he lost there after 8 years of winning, its Djoko's title now. Madrid - he was 2 points away from losing the match against Ferrer. Gulbis totally choked his match and should have won it straights. Next year he'll lose another title. Nadal just doesn't look unbeatable on clay anymore, he seems to be surviving more by his intimidation rather than his tennis. He hit 13 winners in the Gulibs match, that's laughable. Even Simon hits more.
And what of their mentally? Nadal is still mentally superior in crunch moments, he has that special thing that they simply don't. It could be a long wait.
It's a shame for his own sake. It's good for tennis in general because it means Fed won't win the event thanks to a combination of cake draw and finalist's exhaustion. Something that would be too unfair to bear.It's a damn shame that the Nadal killer wasn't out to do fulfill his duty today.
A damn shame.
No offense but I think you may be delusional.
I'm european, I grew up on clay, so I like watching clay tennis best, you can't blame me for that :wink:
But I'm not saying there should be more clay tennis, i just wish Nadal had better competition on clay. The clay competition from the 90's untill early 00's was so much better than it is today. That's the result of all courts getting more equal. Would be nice to have players like Bruguera, Muster, Coria, Kuerten etc. around to make things a little more difficult for Nadal.
Nope. Djokovic is there already. Dimitrov seemed to be there in Madrid and was sadly cramping in the end. Nadal is quickly losing his clay aura, it was apparent in several matches in both Madrid, Rome and MC. He also lost 2 clay matches this season already.
I was stating facts, so delusional is not an option. Nadal DID lose MC after dominating that event every year (it was his most dominant one of all clay events). He was so close to losing in 3-4 matches. Seriously, he's the strongest on clay still, but the margin isn't that big anymore, and its getting smaller and smaller.
No he is not. Not yet.
No, as a player. Ferrer is a better player full stop.
I am not so sure we are there yet. When he actually loses more clay matches and starts to lose earlier in clay events then he will be less of a threat. He is not there yet imo.
Most seasons, he's lost 1 of the 3 masters. Means absolutely nothing as long as he keeps winning everything else.I was stating facts, so delusional is not an option.

He lost twice this year on clay already. That's more than what usually happens. And RG/Rome haven't started/aren't finished yet.
