Rafa is just as big a douche, bully, and crybaby as anyone else out there on the court. YOU have to play at HIS pace. He has to be the second guy out of the locker room or whatever, you have to deal with the buttpick, headwipe right, nose touch, headwipe left combo before every serve. And he has been the maestro of medical timeouts and bitching about injuries.



How man of those were in deep into the championship match of a grand slam?

Great final. Rafa is an absolute warrior and a great guy off the court. But, for people critizing Nole, Rafa is just as big a douche, bully, and crybaby as anyone else out there on the court.

NOUGH SAID.


You said he couldn't get over the top when he clearly did.

World #1 for longer than anybody at the time says he got to the top in his generation and his 8 slams proves his worth among his many other accomplishments.

Sampras thought enough of him to train w/ him. That speaks for itself.

most pro tennis players are "odd" to begin with. agassi probably had the most personality of any of them.

May be hard to believe, but Lendl won 8 majors -- 1 more than McEnroe and tied with Connors.

Why was Novak serving under 90 mph using his second serve the entire 4th set if his back wasn't hurting???

No one responded to this because it's true.

What, do you think he was serving at 90mph because he felt sorry for Rafa?

That third set was magnificent tennis from both players. I've never seen so many breaks in a championship match and it was great. Loved that the serves were not a given, unlike the Sampras years.

It was a great championship for me to watch. I've been pimping Djokovic for a few years now. I wanted him to get the complete slam this year, and he really was 1 match away from doing it. Hope he continues this into next season. Now he has to defend his titles.

Yep, and when I saw the final between Joker and Rafa at Wimbledon, I thought Rafa looked flustered. Today was even worse.

Joker has now gotten into Rafa's head in the same way which Rafa eventually got into Federer's head on every court other than Roland Garros.
