Hello Guys!
Fed has a bigger desire of finishing this ... Nadal looks tiredComment -
Wheww... Fed bounces back from down 15-40 yet again. Clutch lol.
I gotta say though, Nadal let him win all those points on his forehand..Comment -
Nadal had two bps there and did nothing.Feds first serve is to powerful for him
Now another pressure hold coming up
Heart can't take this stuffComment -
45 million pounds ($90 million) staked on this one match at betfair.Comment -
wowComment -
Federer has been winning in the tiebreaks, but no more of those left......Comment -
THey play games until they win by 2If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!
I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!Comment -
geez Fed put that shit awayComment -
Will this be considered the best final ever played at Wimbly?Comment -
Yes.Comment -
If Fed doesn't put it away in this next game I don't think they'll finish tonight.Comment -
Odds completed on Sunday at BF:
Yes: 1.4 (-250)
No: 2.6 (+150)Comment -
How many more break points can Nadal fail to convert? This can't go on, he'll take one sometime.Comment -
Nadal serving for the match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Comment -
**** you federer you asshole
I am so ****edComment -
New balls for Nadal to serve out.
If Federer breaks to stay in it, they maybe have 2 more games each before bad light suspends play.Comment -

Much respect to Federer though..... kept pulling magic tricks out of his ARSE!!!!!!!!
Where are those two idiots, tennis pro and 3rd world illiterate fcuk? went all in on -200 and probably sharing a cardboard box.

My God...I won but this match took a few years off my life....I'm shaking from this one. This was one of the greatest tennis matches ever, without a doubt.Comment -
No doubt. The greatest match I've ever seen....... instant classic for years to come.
Nadal might have just put Federer in to grand slam retirement cause I don't see him winning another one for the rest of his career. I mean this was his court... his homefield... and got beat.Comment -
Magnificent. Sport doesn't get better than that.
ps light is terrible, without that break it would have been suspended.Comment -
A lot of people will think that, but I couldn't disagree more. Federer has been on a gradual downslide, but coming back from 2-0 down may be the inspiration he needs.
I'm going to check the odds tomorrow, and if they're attractive I'll take Federer to win the US Open. There's nobody can compete with his best on hard court.Comment -
Don't do it. Lots of people took Federer to win Wimbledon and look what happened. This is his best court and still got beat. The hard courts belong to Djokovic.Comment -
Great match hope most of you made money...
Comment -
I didn't, +400 on Nadal from several weeks back :-)
Djokovic won the Australian simply because Federer was unwell. I'm not convinced by him yet, too little variety in his game. We'll see in two weeks in Toronto anyway, I might get tickets :-)This is his best court and still got beat. The hard courts belong to Djokovic.Comment -
I'm not sold that Federer had mono. I mean all it takes is a blood test to find out. Yet they were unsure for months.
I've had mono before and I highly doubt that he had it or was playing with it. I mean I couldn't even play pickup basketball for couple of months due to all the awful symptoms (fever, fatigue, uncontrollable coughing, sneezing, runny nose, coughing up loogies) and he's playing professionally where it takes a serious toll on his body? I don't believe it. I mean even when NBA players get infected, they are out for months.
Plus, Djokovic beat Federer at Toronto last season. Actually beat Andy Roddick, Nadal and Federer back to back to back. I backed him throughout the Aussie Open and made a fortune, and I will again at the US Open.Comment -
Check him playing at the Aussie Open, he was sweating and lethargic. A few months earlier he beat Djokovic in straight sets in the US Open final.
Or put it another way: before that tournament, how often was Federer taken to 5 sets in a slam by the likes of Tipsarevic? Never (the year before he won the tournament and didn't drop a single set). How often does Federer get whipped off court by someone barely in the top100, like Mardy Fish? It's clear he was wildly off form for the first few months of this year.
Sure, Djokovic has beaten Federer before - but the overall head to head is 6-2. After regaining his health, Federer beat him fairly easily in Monte Carlo too, before Djokovic did his usual response to getting whipped and retired.Last edited by HeeeHAWWWW; 07-06-08, 04:06 PM.Comment -
Sweating and lethargic? You mean like everyone? It was a hot and muggy tournament. How come no one said anything when he breezed through the earlier rounds? Then he gets outplayed by the eventual champion and now suddenly with all the excuses. I don't buy it.
Like I said, there is no way he could've played with mono. And no doctor in their right mind would allow it.
When was the last time Federer lost Wimbledon? Exactly.Comment -
Wow, what a Match
R.Nadal 6 6 6 6 9
R.Federer 4 4 7 7 7
Congrats to the Nadal backers.

The Tipsarevic match in the third round was 10-8 in the 5th set, and went on forever. Hardly breezing through.
He only survived there, in the third round, because his serve was on fire (39 aces, 89% first serve points won). Compare that with a few months earlier, when he wins the Masters Cup, and when he beat Djokovic in straight sets in the US Open final.
It was painfully obvious to anyone during that match he wasn't physically well, and he said as much afterwards. The next few months of his season have merely repeated the pattern, losing to a nobody like Mardy Fish, and losing to Roddick who he normally beats easily.Comment -
Have you had mono? If not, imagine the worst flu you've ever had. Now multiply that by 1000. You are not just "hot" and "lethargic"..... he would've been sneezing uncontrollably, coughing up discolored loogy, and most likely had a swollen spleen, another symptom of mono.
A long match like that would've put him in the hospital.
Federer lost back to back to Canas last year too. Also lost to Djokovic, Nalbandian and Volandri. Was he sick last season also????
He's already lost 3 grand slam this year.... for the first time in how many years? That's outta be a huge red flag.Comment -
No. Those were lesser events, which Federer treats as little more than practice tournaments. There's also no shame in losing to Nalbandian, who was on fire at the time (back to back masters, beating Djoko, Nadal and Federer). As for Canas, he's simply a very bad match in styles for Federer.
However, in the events where it counted, fast court slams and the Masters Cup, he was crushing everyone in sight, including Djokovic. A few months later he can barely beat Tipsarevic, and gets straightsetted by Djokovic. He was very obviously physically unfit in the Tipsarevic match - everybody at the time was commenting on it. Federer himself said he felt unwell.
Then, doctors diagnosed with him glandular fever. Nothing complicated about it.
Do you seriously think Mardy Fish could slaughter a physically fit Federer?Comment
