This is how you repay the guy who knocks out the only person you cannot beat on planet.

Apart from the fact that Federer has actually beaten Nadal before? Unlucky son, jog on.

Because Nadal was fully fit against Soderling, wasn't he?..

Greatest of all time.

Finally Federer wins the French open, he now has the full set. Probably the only other thing he would want to do is beat Nadal next year at the French open.

Rod Laver is still the greatest ever, only man to win the actual Grand Slam (all 4 in a year) twice.

Federer is good but he'll never win the year Slam and he'll always be suspect on clay. Only reason he won was because Nadal was out obviously.

Laver was better on clay, although its stupid to compare players from two different generations. But Federer has fought really hard for this, played out of his skin in previous finals, but Nadal was just unbeatable on clay.

Congrats to Federer, but I think he really wants to win it buy beating Nadal himself, just like how the latter beat him at Wimbledon last year.

Just read that Wimbledon will be scream free, will have to catch one of Sharapova's game to see if she complies as it must be a habit thing now and they can be hard to break.

Aparently tennis players will be checked for Match fixing in Wimbeldon this year.

Fed Ex to win yet another major as Rafa pulls out. It was always thought at the start of Rafa's career that his career would be cut short by injuries.

Good news for Hewitt, he might make it past the second round now.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Hewitt has a great draw if he can get past the 2nd round. Potentially into the 2nd week and maybe even the semis. Just has to get past those first 2 tough games.

He spent all his energy in his early career. Lets hope his body is not that burnt out.

It opens the draw up for Murray who is the top seed in his half although I always felt he would win the US or Australian before he won Wimbledon. Too much hype and pressure at home.

 

[m_vaughan]

Too much hype anywhere.
