Seems like a walk in the park for Fed

2 - 1 ... Feds up and next to serveComment -
Too easy .... 3 - 1Comment -
3 - 2 ... Monfils just remembered hes in the semisComment -
4 - 2 ... Fed will take first set without a sweatComment -
The question isn't whether or not fed will win.The question is will monfils retire from the match. Already had a bathroom break right at the start of the match and then he had a trainer on for an "eye injury"
I am going to be pissed if Monfils retires after losing the set and a break down in the second.I need at least two sets to be completedComment -
Too much pressure for the kid ... I dont think he believed in himself to be in semisComment -
Fed needs to up his intensity in the finals or else he will get beaten badly. I think all the years of winning easily has made fed lazyComment -
With the intensity that Nadal played today ... if he does exactly the same on Sunday ... Fed will have no chance ... simply will be crushed ... question is ... if he is just keeping his energy for a serious match ... like the finals.Comment -
The last couple of times fed has played nadal fed has had big leads in sets that he blows and ends up losing the matches. Had he just served out those sets then he quite possibly could have won the match.
I've always had a feeling that this would be feds year to win here.Every year he plays so well all year then blows it in the final to nadal but this year he hasn't been playing that well so I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up winning it now.Things works out weird like that sometimesComment -
So true ... I recall last years final ... simply bad choices cost him the tourney ... but I do understand ur point .. he really hasnt been pushed to win the games ... he has done it at 70 - 80% effort .... would not be amazed if he takes it this year. I will go with Nadal for finals.Comment -
blows it? how about nadal, the best clay court player in history, kicks his ass? thats what happens. nadal is something like 114-2 in his last 116 on clay, and did have a 81 match streak on clay. he has also won 3 straight french finals and is now in his 4th straight final. i think nadal just owns fed on this surface, it's not about fed "blowing it"Originally posted by StacocakesComment -
nadal absolutel blew his chance to beat fed in the 07 wimbledon final, that one went 5 sets. at roland garros, fed has lost 3-1 in sets the past 3 yrs to nadal. not blowing it, its called getting your ass kicked. i like fed, but when i read stupid shit like this, i hope for him to get destroyed again in the final, and ignorant tennis fans who love fed get their mouths shut againComment -
hoopster take a breather dude
Everyone is entitled to there opinion.Comment -
If a player is up two breaks in a set and loses the set its called blowing itComment -
fed is playing like crap right nowComment -
would you agree that nadal blew it at the wimbledon final in 07 when he eventually lost in 5 sets?Originally posted by StacocakesComment -

I disagree ... but anyway ... back to the matchOriginally posted by hoopster42wrong as it may beComment -
Nadal had a chance to win the 2007 Wimbledon final he didn't blow it. If he had a 5-2 lead in the fifth set and Roger came back to win 7-5 in the fifth to win wimbledon then yes I would say he blew itComment -
Hoopster I said that Fed plays well all year and then blows it at the French open. Its like a basketball team that gets to the finals every year but they "blow it" in the finals by losing every year. I didn't say that Nadal is not better then him on clay.You took a general statement I made and decided to go off on this tangent about how good Nadal is on clay.If you actually read the conversation I was referring to Federer being up a break or two in there last couple of matches and "blowing" the lead each time and losing the match.
You just wanted to come in here and be a dick and you basically killed the in-game thread. Good workComment -
Monfils takes 2nd set ... unreal ... kid is goodComment -
They are in the middle of a deuce game, what u talking about?Originally posted by Shark79Comment -
Maybe he could see the future
Can't believe Federer lost that set. He was up a break in it. I can't say that he blew the set though because hoopster will come back in here and spout off againComment -
tied 1 set apiece now, shifer, ur update is slowComment -
watching eurosport, the score was 40-40 when he wrote.Originally posted by hoopster42Comment -
How does fed expect to have any chance against nadal if he is playing like thisComment -
would love to hear how fed "blew it" vs. djokovic in the aussie final.Originally posted by StacocakesComment -
Fed is washed up .... its like he doesnt care anymoreComment -

go to www.rolandgarros.com and get scores from the official site, its very quick to updateOriginally posted by shiferComment -
The official scoreboard has been crap the last 3 or 4 days
Its a point or two behind right nowComment -
no, he cares, he will care until he ties and passes pete with 14 then 15 slams,Originally posted by Shark79
the rest of men's tennis is catching up, fed will be 27 this august, so he's not a spring chicken any more, his career will be extended because he exerts little energy on the court, but you cannot fight mother nature, he is losing just a tad on his strokes, and the younger players are catching up and figuring out how to trouble himComment -
needs to take this bpComment -
boom
Now hold this already geezComment
