Federer vs Nadal

[PeliniTheCrutch_rivals294365]

Now that is not soccer, and that is fantastic every time those guys meet!

Glad fed got him. Has to win on grass since he has no chance on clay.

Two super likeable tennis dudes, that restored tennis back to Borg - McEnroe levels. Didn't get to watch. Was it an epic showdown?

Fed pretty much had the upper hand minus the second set.

 

[HCHTown]

Looking forward to Sunday. Fed vs Joker.

Glad serena got beat down

Tennis with the Big Four/Five (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, and to a lesser degree Stan Wawrinka) is so much fun. I love how it breaks down, too:

Federer is just the best. He's like a Terminator sent back through time to destroy other tennis players. Not as much now, but he used to regularly make impossible shots, kind of like Kobe Bryant in his prime, or like Steph Curry now.

Nadal almost cannot be beaten on clay surfaces. It's weird how that works.

Djokovic is the New Guy; good enough to beat anyone, and a hell of a lot of fun to watch.

Murray is the guy who pushes himself and sometimes beats one of the other three, but is clearly not quite as good.

Wawrinka is kind of a lesser Murray.

This men's doubles final is pretty entertaining. 4 tiebreakers so far. Now going to the 5th.

Why would you want a non-American to beat an American?

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

I do not like serena

 

[PeliniTheCrutch_rivals294365]

What a match.

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

This is good

 

[Redscarlet]

What a battle..

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

Couldn't believe fed lost his serve at 40 15 for the title

 

[nwualum_rivals330058]

11-11 in the 5th. Crazy.

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

Unreal point at deuce at 11 11

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

And fed takes it on the challenge. Incredible.

Whatever happened to serve and volley ? Neither goes to the net and plays from the baseline on grass. Boring style in an exciting match.

Federer definitely had his chances. Up 5-3 in the tiebreak in set one and losing if I remember correctly...that was big.

They've both been to the net but serve and volleying with today's racquets and strings is much harder. Novak is also one of the best returners ever so trying to serve/volley against that is even worse.

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

Yes, two of the three greatest players of all time would be better off if they followed strategic advice from sooner or later.

Never really liked Federer or Nadal. I think Djokovic is the best of all of them.
