Nadal poised to topple Federer

RE:Naveen Mahajan by Ashish Kanekar on Jul 09, 2008 01:04 AM Well he may be "matchless" on any surface - that is an opinion. He will be 27 next month, Nadal turned 22 last month. That is a fact. Head to head Fed's record is 6 wins and 12 losses versus Nadal. That is a fact. Fed is 1 win and 2 losses versus Andy Murray! That too is a fact.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Naveen Mahajan by anubhav mittal on Jul 09, 2008 02:37 AM in your dreams pal. Roger will be lucky if he gets past Pete's tally of 14 grandslams, forgot abt 4 more that too in one year. only way for him now is downhill. He was da best until last year but no more. others finally caught up to him this year    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Naveen Mahajan by PUNEESH on Jul 09, 2008 07:21 AM u want to say that roger wont be winning any more majors....that's stupid thinking on your part...he may no longer be the immortal he was...but he will still win many majors and will be the best of all time....by the way i wud like to see who can stop him from winning hardcourts events...nadal..forget about winning hardcourts...he has not reached a semifinal in hardcourts....coz these surfaces are just too fast for even his speed and agility....and for others...roger will blow them away..    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Naveen Mahajan by anubhav mittal on Jul 10, 2008 02:42 AM we'll soon c abt that. only have 2 wait a month or 2. And I never said Roger will not win any more majors. At best he will a couple more. Like I said others have caught up and surpassed him now.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Naveen Mahajan by citizen on Jul 09, 2008 03:20 PM It is immature on your part to say that Roger may not get 14 slams. If anything it will(wimbledon loss) motivate him further. The wimbledon final could have gone either way, it was not one sided in Nadal's favour. I quote Bjorn Borg who has predicted that Fedex may end up with 15 to 20 slams by the time he retires, my thinking is also on similar lines.    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:who wrote this article by India Calling on Jul 08, 2008 07:49 PM Let federer also win at least one French Open, then we will see!!!!    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:who wrote this article by Nishant on Jul 08, 2008 07:57 PM Its just a mental thing that Fed is having against Nadal.. If he overcomes it once, Nadal will be on the receiving end everytime. and you dont hav to wait for Federer to win a French Open to decide he is the greatest. if you cant then i pity you.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:who wrote this article by Ashish Kanekar on Jul 09, 2008 12:58 AM You have to consider that Federer is age 27 next year and Nadal turned 22 last month. At Nadal's age Fed had won one Grand Slam title. Nadal has got 5.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:who wrote this article by citizen on Jul 09, 2008 03:24 PM Yes u are right about age, but at Federer's age(27) I doubt if Nadal could win 12 Grand slams. Note that Nadal's game is highly physical in nature and therefore more prone to injuries and wear and tear. I am curious how long he could keep up his current form    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:French and Wimbledon winner the best?????????????????? by Ashish Kanekar on Jul 09, 2008 01:00 AM So if the Djoker wins US Open ( he has already won Aussie open ) will you agree he is the best?    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:If Sachin would have been a Tennis player... by supriyo das on Jul 08, 2008 06:34 PM what kind of fool's utopia do u belong to? First of all if sachin was a tennis player, his international carrer would have lasted 1.9 years (forget about 19 years). Even indain ace male tennis player of current era Leander Paes(career highest singles ranking in 80-90) is far ahead in fitness than the fittest indian cricketer ever(certainly not Sachin).    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:Fedex all the way......... by bidwan baruah on Jul 08, 2008 04:40 PM Even Fed is not complaining about luck ...Why are you?? Nadal is playing extra-ordinary tennis and even Fed cannot match it...That is the fact!    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Fedex all the way......... by rajiv pandey on Jul 08, 2008 05:18 PM u r exactly right. It was a well-deserved win.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Fedex all the way......... by siva kumar on Jul 08, 2008 05:47 PM Rahul you are right. Fedex gave the opportunity to hand over the title to Nadal. As you said Federer and Sampras are best for tennis.. well said...    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Fedex all the way......... by jade on Jul 08, 2008 06:08 PM Rahul Prasad and siva kumar, both of you are so right!! Actually, Federer was feeling very compassionate and sorry for Nadal and, therefore, purposely let Nadal win. Surely, Federer did not really want to win a title for a sixth time, that which he had already got bored of winning five years running. Both of you should write to the Vatican to start proceedings for Federer to be anointed a saint!! Federer could have easily beaten Nadal with one hand tied behind his back but felt so sorry for Nadal that he let him win this one time !! Very accurate and objective reading of the event!!    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Fedex all the way......... by PUNEESH on Jul 09, 2008 07:28 AM listen.....i know u r a big nadal fan.....but let's be honest.....what fedex has achieved in his career, no one can achieve it....the guy won 8 out of the 10 slams ranging from 2005 wimbledon to 2007 us open...that's is some achivement...and by the way let's see what can nadal do at the hardcourts....remember the powerhouse tsonga gave him a real thrashing in the aus open.....that is what power players can do to him and his game on hardcourts......    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Fedex all the way......... by SaiSubramanyam Thoota on Jul 08, 2008 03:36 PM Fedex is the best... But Nadal played great tennis in the Wimbledon 2008 final... He understood Federer's game very well and played accordingly... It takes a player like Nadal to beat Fedex...    Forward   |   Report abuse
