  • Re: Tennis anyone?

    I hoped for a more exciting final.

    Rafa Nadal is the terminator. At least on clay.

      How could anyone possibly play well enough to even win two sets against Nadal today, let alone three? Soderling would crush a ground stroke and Nadal would take it behind his body and simply direct it into the only open spot on the court for a winner. W.T.F.?!

      Federer and Nadal are huge favorites at Wimbledon, with Roddick third IMO, Soderling and possibly Tsonga (and maybe Berdych) as darkhorses, and Murray and Djokovic wild cards (their games seem messed up right now but they have the talent to advance deep). That's my take, anyway.

        That's just it. Nadal is so good at defense - you can kill a shot, but if he gets to it, he's so good at getting depth on those desperation shots (well, for anyone else they're desperation shots) that he's right back in the point.

        I can't imagine what it's like to play against a guy who forces you to ace to hold serve and hit clean winners on every other point.

          I imagine most of the ATP has nightmares about it.

          A perfect match combined with Nadal being off his game is the only way he loses to anyone on clay.

            Soderling shot his wad dealing with Federer. Soderling is really good on clay but you have to do everything virtually perfect to beat Feds or Nadal.

              Soderling had his chances, he got several break points and made some terrible decisions.

                      We might be headed for our first upset. #28W Kirilenko lost the first 6-2 and just staved off a break point at 4-4 in the second.

                      #17M Ljubicic lost his first set 7-5 and is on serve at 3-4 in the second.

                        Someone want to let Federer know Wimbledon has started? His stunt double lost the first set.

                            What's going on???

                            I was watching earlier and they were on serve in the first. Federer was making some errors and Falla was hanging in there.

                              This morning the ESPN crew was laughing about how easy this match would be for Roger.

                                5 points away.

                                0-40 on Roger's serve. 4-4 in the 3rd

                                Edit: Roger comes back and holds. That was some amazing tennis.
