U ppl have lost ur senses i guess.Federer is considered as one of the most humble championstode..Havent u seen how nadal over reacts whenever he gets a pt and how cool federer is wen he pulls of a genius stroke??If not then u ppl dont watch tennis..wat a pity..If Being far the best ever player and modest invites these stupid comments then i dunno where vr heading to..Nadal is a player who can at best play in clay court like most of the spaniards who practice on clay courts frm their childhood..he just play the ball above the court and waits for the opponent to make a mistake..this is the reason y u dont find unforced errors in his game..such a boring player to watch..

hi amando, you nailed it main. Fed is a champ with less sportmanship. Everytime he loses to Nadal, he comes out saying he can beat Nadal one day and everytime Nadal wins Fed, he comes out saying one day some one will defeat him. Thats an irony. Nadal is the true champ. Poor guy has only one Clay court grand slam. Who knows if it was 3 Clay courts and 1 grass, may be Nadal might have scaled higher heights compared to Fed.

Federer is the best of them all, dead or alive...better than anybody else in this Universe. FYI, US open and Aus Open are played on Hard Court (and not on grass court) and Federer won three slams and ended in finals of the fourth one last year. Losing, but still believing that he can beat Nadal one day - this is the spirit that Champions are made of. And Federer did manage to beat Nadal on CLAY court at Hamburg Open finals...and I don't find anything wrong with Federer commenting on his own game, if reporter asked him how he felt about his game in the post-match interview...Should he be saying "My game needs lot of improvement, my first serve was poor, I was not hitting the winners, blah, blah..."

This is your opinion...Nadal is a great player, his carrer points are just a few points behind Sampras and he is only 21. Roddick and Hewitt would hold their own on any day. But you know what - They are member of NINE-ZERO club, having lost to FEderer 9 consecutive times. This is something that even Rod Laver would be proud of...

both of you dude need life... Federer always keeps praising Nadal whenever Nadal wins. Infact experts have been criticizing that Federer praises Nadal so much that he lacks killer instinct. Now what do you say to that??? I have rarely seen humble sportsman as Federer...

we overdo our so called heroes and heroines. Sania is a hope but she is not world class.
Of course, she does cause a flutter with her looks, but if that is the case, we should encourage her to become a model.

tough luck .. in the same half of the draw as Federer so it could be either Federer or Roddick in the final not both.

Federer is a ego filled champion. I remember Pete Sampras who was such a benign champion. Full of class!
Federer seems a pale shadow of Pete when it comes to class and quality.
AFter all, in life, what else matters? It is the spirit that counts!

What have you got against Federer? have you ever seen his press or TV interviews?? you've got totally wrong conception

Federer is as much humane or benign as anybody else...Else being at such heights, who would be more gracious enough to seek the advise of other Champ, Tiger Woods (remember last year US Open ??) ?? The spirit of Federer to excel is unmatched, perhaps matched only by his spirit to do the charity work....
