But Fed was in his prime while Nadal wasn't yet for some of them.

The admin is not cracking down on Federer insults. The admin is cracking down on people being homophobic douchebags. Truth be told, the admin was rooting for Roddick.

There are a lot of people that don't even watch tennis crying in here. Roddick played a great match and will be a definite threat at the us open. Chill the frick

federer may be the 2nd best clay court player ever, however

Nadal skullfricking Federer all the time?


If you think losing an epic 5 set match at Wimbledon and a 5 set match at the Australian = skull fricking, you are a retard.

Nadal is a great player, after Austrailia this year, looked like he had a chance to equal or eclipse Federer. Now he's hurt, how will he be when he comes back? We don't know. Tennis is a young man's sport. The window is very small. When he wins the US and something besides the French multiple times come talk to me. Until then Federer > Nadal.

All Andy can do is blame himself. He knows he should have put Fed away in 4 sets. It all comes back to that choke in the second-set tie-breaker.

He was pissed. Completely different situations, Fed just says whatever comes to mind.

I would put Fed's social skills on that of a 7 year old. He's a robot.

He just called Pete Sampras "Pistol Pete" There will be a protest thread on the rant in under 5 minutes.

The reverse was true in 2008, Nadal was in his prime and for a tennis player Federer is on the down side.

It's way faster. Up until this year wimbledon had been playing slow for grass. Us hard courts are the fastest
