Nadal vs Federer - In Game Thread

[SharkAA]

Game over for FedEx-he can't do shyt against Nadal and we all knew that before the match started.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

hand eye coordination by these two are simply amazing.

[shari91]

YAY!!!! Just one more Rafa!

[Dollars2Donuts]

Very disappointing Grand Slam so far.....almost every match, you know who will win set half a set or a set in. Kind of saaaaad.

[kenz]

Ideal for us though

Wish every slam was like this

[jimmy007oc]

just hedge 10% of my bet on Fedex. bed time

[Mase of Base]

C'mon Fed at least make this four setter. Feels like I've seen this movie countless times and I'm at that stage where I genuinely feel sorry for the character I've grown to know, I knew it was coming but it's still kinda sad.

[kenz]

This slam he looks better

It was a lot more sad last year losing to Robredo ( not underestimating him, love his style) and Stakhovsky (Wimbledon)

He also lost to Brands on clay I think.

[The Giant]

Wow.

[kenz]

Now it is a 3-0 official

[Winner_13]

Fed needs to retire his legacy is being ruined

[face]

Fed needs to retire his legacy is being ruined

nadal already ruined it a while ago
fed is still a great player, who cares about legacy, fed can still whip tsonga's ass 3-0

[shari91]

Break back Fed. Can he win this set so I win my special bet?!

[The Giant]

I wasn't expecting that.

[SharkAA]

Unforced errors: Nadal-25, FedEx-40. That pretty much describes Federer's struggles.

[FoxMulder]

Federer needs to stop sending the ball right back to Nadal and try to move him around a bit. He rarely tried winners, that's not the way to go. Everytime he changed the direction of the ball, created chances for himself. Letting Nadal dictate the game is not a good strategy.

Like this one: wide open court and volleying right back to Nadal. letting himself down
Next shot: volleyed to the other end, easy point

[shari91]

It's pretty funny that out of all the prop bets and reasons people were giving me for not taking Nadal, the one thing that looks to hit is Nadal 3-0 and that was only posted accidentally. We all wasted our time in the first 5 or so pages of this thread

[face]

only the second backhand winner of the night for fed, they said

[shari91]

And I still need 3 miracle DFs somehow from these guys

[QuangX]

nADAL IS AWESOME, iM A FAN. hE DOES SWEAT A LOT LOL.

[shari91]

seriously that was a crazy shot from Nadal

[shari91]

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NADAL BABY!!!!!!!!!!

[da_hustla]

Does Stan have any shot in the finals

[kenz]

Finished with a break

Brutal

[kenz]

Does Stan have any shot in the finals

I dont think so

H2H 14-0 without Stan winning a set

[SirtySree]

All this hate on Federer. He is versing the best player in the world and Federer made it this far. Not sure why all the hate.

[ardacet8]

Nadal aces under 5,5 was too easy! What a last curve passing shot from him at the end! Congrats to all winners. Wasn't a thriller but good game

[shari91]

Does Stan have any shot in the finals

He has a shot but if Nadal plays like that again, Stan's not going to win against him.

[Mase of Base]

Does Stan have any shot in the finals

Nadal is 12-0 and never dropped a set against him so pretty much much zero.

[shari91]

Nadal: "Too much talk about the blister"

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Don't fade him because of a friggen blister, people!

[kenz]

His only shot is if Nadal is not healthy

Watched their last game first set was brutal, something like 12-10 tb or 14-12 I am not sure.

Wawrinka played great but the moment he loset first set he faded. Mentally Nadal owns him big time, you cant neglect 14-0

[tipsadontlikehim]

[Chaz22]

miserable...

this was the Fed we saw last year....he lost it...Nadal did not even give any extra effort. Just being Nadal, but old-timer was really uninterested after loosing 1st set.

[tipsadontlikehim]

[jjgold]

We are all seeing now Nadal on the verge of becoming greatest ever. He consistently knocks off the top players , something Federer never did. Fed always lacked the killer even with hat immense talent, he is lucky he did not have to play the Nadal top competition when he was winning majors.
