You guys obviously don't know shit about tennis. Federer has never been good on clay. A Federer loss to Nadal on clay does not represent the changing of the guard.
What a joke. Only person who looks like he can replace Federer on hard courts is Djokovic.Comment -
unbelievable , just get the damn match over , driving me nuttsComment -
Two injury timeouts and the match turns. Unbelievable. What chickenshit tactics by Nadal.Comment -
Federer is never good on clay?Thats why he always gets to the finals in tournaments but loses to Rafa. I guess being number 2 in the world on clay means that he is very bad on the surface. Your post means that you don't know shit about tennis
And we are referring to Federer blowing a 5-1 lead in the first set and a 5-3 lead in the second hereComment -
0-30
Is fed going to blow this again?
crap 3 bps now as I type thisComment -
Good fight by fed. 6-5 up
Looks like a tiebreaker is comingComment -
what he is trying to say, i hope, is that on any other surface and against anyone else, the match would already be over. fed has a horrilbe time with rafe's bounce on clay and thats the only reason rafe is able to claw his way back. fed has looked like the best player in the world this tourney and may have gotten a little too relaxed today. he has blown out the rest of the field. still #1, no doubt. lookin more like himself this weekComment -
I don't think he came off as nicely as that raydog when he posted it
Which is why he hasn't posted anything sinceComment -
haaha, maybe homey, may be.

Maybe because I didn't bet my house on Fed and don't check this phucking thread every 5 seconds to vent my stupidity.
Saying Federer is never good on clay is a relative statement. I'm not saying he is #1000 in the world on clay, dumbass. Given that he's #1 on every other surface, and until recently has been #1 by a huge margin, it is fair to say he is 'shitty' on clay.Comment -
I actually don't have any money on this match yet mathdotcom.Why don't you go back to sucking jj's dick every post and stay out of this in-game thread
Check Federer's career stats on Clay and then come back and talk to me. He is not "shitty" on this surface at all.Granted he is better on the other surfaces but he is still the second best on tour on clay.Who is better besides nadal?Comment -
lol
Such a moron
You still don't get my point. He is shitty on clay relative to himself on other surfaces. Federer has never beaten Nadal in the French Open final.
So he goes from #1 on hard surfaces (by a very large margin) to #2 on clay (but far back of Nadal). That's a huge difference.Comment -
Nadal is the argueably the best clay court player ever. He has won the French 3 times in a row. The last time that was done was by Bjorg 24 years ago. And Nadal will easily become the player with the most French Open titles. Fed has made the French Finals the last 2 years in a row, just bad luck that Nadal casme along during his reign. But Fed is in no way a less than a monster on clay as well as grass. Take Nadal out of the equation and Fed wins 3 French Opens easily.Comment -
I agree with you that clay is Federer's worst surface but I am saying that his career record on clay is 113 wins and 38 losses.Easily the second best in tennis but way behind Nadal I agree because he has only beat nadal once on clay and that was in hamburg last year.With that being said, with Federer up 5-2 in a set over nadal he should not blow the set and lose 7-5 which is what we were talking about in this thread.You then come in and say that we all know shit about tennis and nadal winning does not represent the changing of the guard. We never said it did.We were just saying that the number one player in the world should not be blowing a 2 break advantage in a set
Everyone knows that nadal is better then roger on clayComment -
You know how many times Pete Sampras got to the French Open Finals? A big fat 0. That should tell you how good Fed is.Comment -
I don't get what point he was trying to make here do you Panic?Comment -
Must have just woke up and felt like coming in here to say that we all know shitComment -
None at all.Comment -
You guys are whining about how could Federer not win a set when ahead 5-2.
Why aren't you asking the question "how could Nadal get so behind in a set?".
As for the 'changing of the guard' comment:

As for Panic,
Liked your comment about how you'd be surprised if Federer lost. Someone who follows tennis should know a little something about the Federer choke factor this year. This result is no surprise.Comment -
Oh well, it's finally over. All I got to say is......BIGGEST CHOKEJOB OF THE YEAR.
But that's been my luck in tennis.... guys blowing 5-2, 6-3 leads, which is equivalent to 4 run 9th inn leads in baseball.Comment -

I never whined once in this thread that Fed couldn't win a set when ahead. What I said was Nadal pulled some chickenshit stuff because when Fed was up 5-1 in the first, Nadal got an injury timeout. When Fed was up 4-1 in the second, Nadal got an injury timeout. And it changed the match both times.Comment -
Yeah it's lame, but can you blame Nadal? I would do the same if I knew Federer always choked after injury timeouts. That's Federer's problem, that so many things get under his skin.
I never singled you out in my comment about 'you guys' whining about Federer not closing out his 5-2 lead. There were plenty others making those comments.Comment -
mathdotcom...... why don't you stop being a dick? Everyone was having good conversation until you came in with a pompous, know-it-all attitude for no reason. Where are your picks dude? If you're so good, then you should post your picks daily so everyone can be rich like you.
Btw, to call Federer a sh1tty clay courters is ignorant. Do sh1tty clay courters own 6 clay court titles and make back to back finals of the French Open? Just because he got unlucky and has to face the greatest clay courter in the history of tennis does not mean he sucks.Comment -
LOL. I post picks on an almost daily basis, you moron. Do a search for 'mathdotcom lock of the day'. Where are your phucking picks?Originally posted by daggerkobe

You are all looking at Federer's clay accomplishments and comparing them to Nadal's and other clay players. I am comparing Federer's clay accomplishments to his hardcourt accomplishments. Yes 'shitty' is a strong word, but he does play like shit on clay compared to how he completely dominates on hard court.
Anyways, done w/ this thread.Comment -
Hmmmm, I can't seem to find your "Nadal: Lock of the Day" Post...... oh, I get it. Just another run of the mill "I told you so" after the fact capper. Well, I guess you were right. But too bad no books take action AFTER THE FACT.
Like someone else said, go obssess about jjgold... something you're obviously great at. The only thing you're great at, other than bragging about unposted picks.Comment -
Federer winning 6 clay court championships and making the finals and semis of French Open 3 years in a row makes him a terrible clay courter..... what a nincumpoop.
This guy can't be more than 14 years old..... has no logic to his senses.Comment -
what a roller coaster match , congrats to Rafa bettorsComment -
Fed cannot take the pressure anymore
He is done winning big torneysComment -
Outside of Nadal, Federer is is the top clay court play in the worldOriginally posted by mathdotcom
Comment -
I never said 'of course Nadal would win'. I just said the result is not a surprise, especially since the favorite won. Doesn't mean Federer at +120 or whatever was a bad bet.
You guys are still looking at it in terms of absolute results on clay. Of course #2 on clay is nothing to be ashamed of. Just saying it is not amazing compared to the *absolutely fantastic amazing superb* results he has on non-clay.Comment -
Let me get this straight. Here you say Federer is #2 on clay and that "of course #2 on clay is nothing to be ashamed of" but in a previous post you say "Federer has never been good on clay."Originally posted by mathdotcom
Do you see what an idiot you are

He proved throughout the thread Buddy that he doesn't know what he is talking about. He decided to come in here during the match and stir the pot saying that we all know nothing about tennis.
No real point in wasting any more of your time on this guy.Just killed the thread earlier when he came inComment
