    It is about character

    Federer is a more relaxed, take-it-easy type of guy. He is more cool.

    Nadal is all about "I have to make a bagel even if I play against mom"

    Geezus, Nadal in the press conference detailing down to what the score was on two points that he wasn't happy with in the first set TB. Friggin guy doesn't miss a beat.

    Right?! I never thought Fed would win but I thought he'd at least take a set off of Nadal. My crystal ball obviously needs a bit more polishing! I never start a thread to try to push my opinions at someone or change their minds on a bet... I just like hearing opinions and feedback rather than some of the nonsense you get in other threads so I'd never tell someone to tail me for a big amount. But hopefully all the discussion in here at least helped a few people jump on Nadal and make some cash even though you and I missed out on the chance to make a dime ffs!!

    Juan Monaco is one of his best friends in the tour, he has a lot of pics doing stuff with him outside of tennis, still he does not mind beating him 6-2 6-0 6-0 on 2012 Roland Garros.

    Monaco was very upset during/after the match

    Nadal is ruthless

    LOL, what a dumb comment. He made it to the Semis of this tournament, beat Murray, and lost to a guy that has owned him his whole career and who is currently playing as well as anyone in the history of the game ever did.

    rafa has beaten feds something like 9 out of 11 times in slams and hasn't lost to him away from wimbledon?

    part of that has to do with career arc but thats fukkin sick

    What is MJ to basketball, Federer is to tennis-a G.O.A.T. His game will always be remembered as a pure poetry. He is not young anymore, so obviously he is not the same as he used to be.

    Please no more retirement comments, you sound ridiculous. Roger is still competing at a very high level as he showed this tournament getting to a grand slam major semi final. Since he is no longer playing with that magic wand, it will be interesting to see if he can regain his status in the top 4 this year. I think it's going to happen. He is still fighting for grand slams, but just needs a little luck and someone beating Rafa so that he can get one more.

    Never a doubt.
    What a joke lol.
    They really hyped the shit out of this one as much as they could.
    Made a few suckers fall for Feds.
    If you don't watch the earlier matches or how they played each other the last couple times, I guess you could be fooled.
    But this was the 2nd biggest steal of the tournament only laying -150 on the best player in the world vs. a washed up and on the decline Feds. It's his farewell tour this year boys. Enjoy it, but don't go broke thinking he's gonna be winning any tournaments. Guess he could sneak one in if he plays a small one that the big names don't play. That's about it though.

    Little bit of exaggeration saying "washed up," Fed played well this tourney. Rafa just has his number with that topspin bouncer to Fed's backhand. He certainly won't beat Rafa this year except possibly on grass.
