Federer is the evergreen player of tennis.Iam sure that he will play in the same form for atleat 4 more years from now................ nobody can count his days for 4 more years. REST IN THE NEXT>>>>>>>>
Ms. Aishwarya & all other Nadal Fans, It is good that you are a Nadal fan. But when Nadal himself acknowledges that Fedex is the greatest Tennis player ever to tread on earth, it shows that you know very little of the game but good at typing in the system. Also for your kind information if you have time (which I pretty well know you have) please try to collect the opponents list of both Federer and Nadal for the last two years and see what they have commented before playing them. 95% of them said it was a privilege playing against Federer but show one who has said the same for Nadal. Commenting on a sports page is not just sitting in an A.C. room and filling the pages of Discussion board and abusing others. Play the game and comment. Then you will understand how tough it is to stay as no.1 for four and a half years. Please remember that it doesnt cost money to become fan of a person who has had a very good year. So dont be a chameleons changing sides as and when a new player beats a world no 1. If you still think Nadal is the best then only Nadal can save you.

she ussed to write Nadal is too sexy so she love him, we should consider it, otherwise how we can compare both players.
Poor chaps can’t b blamed for it….coz they compare him with him only…as there is no other yard stick to measure his greatness & a so called ‘great’ by his own fans only after just winning first grand slam(other than French Open) that too with competing for 3 years & in five setter epic, Nadal has to learn a lot…for him FedEx is will b measurement yardstick..even just to compare with the King he has to won n number of matches & that too in succession…to reach at the top is great achievement (a player named Marceilo Rios of chilee too has done it for 2 weeks in Sampras era) but to remain there over the years is not a human business….Nadal has to play for winning not just to defeat FedEx…….coz other young guns like Murray, Djokovic, Gasquet are improving by leaps & bounds…running from corner to corner with a lethal forehand won’t help him much other than winning SLOW clay court matches…….Wake up human beings to witness revival of Phoneix from ashes of defeat at Wimbledon…All conqueror is back to his business…..his habbit……. of WINNING & only WINNING….Get ready to defend your titles in 2009…coz Emperor has sleeved up his arms to battle & get back what he lost in this year…….. "Ask god to reach 18 consecutive grand-slam semi-finals he won’t think of it, ask him to compete in 17 slam finals & won 13 of them he won’t dare & ask him to remain at the top for 237 weeks he even don’t dream it…….”
When everybody is ready to chop his head off, he had slapped all his detractors & that too not with verbal volley but with sheer tennis volleys, single handed back hands, fore hands, lofts, smashes. He conjured a dazzling array of all shots that are defined in tennis books & also those shots which aren’t…. Murray was helpless guy remained just another spectator like those thousands who were present in Arthur ashe stadium…………..the only difference was he doesn’t have a sit to relax…poor guy has to face the outburst of man who had made his critics to eat their own words well below their throats……. For the first time in the whole year it was Invincible FedEx playing his menacing tennis………untouchable serve, precise line work, deep shots, sublime touch, accurate Swiss timing…all in all sublime tennis that the world had witnessed from Champion over last few years…… I agree…..he is not as invincible as he was…yes he can be called HUMAN after series of defeats this year…yes he has surrendered his top spot…but he is not finished yet…in his WORST year he reached 3 grand slam finals & one semi…won 1 out of them…ohhhh what a poor form…he has raised & maintained quality of his own tennis to such a extent that whenever he fails to win a final match, people start doubting his class…… Poor chaps can’t b blamed for it….coz they compare him with him o
Now, this is the perfect explanation for Nadal leading Federer in head to head record - He reaches finals of French and beats him invincibly; but everywhere else, he loses before final (which FedEx does) and so FedEx can't take revenge upon him. If they play evenly on all surfaces; RF will lead him by more than double the wins.
Infact, i would say; every year ATP should hold bilateral tournaments for Nadal and Federer on all surfaces throughout the year, with 5-10 matches on all surfaces; to decide the better of the two.
Someone commented in this forum yesterday of Roger being 'Federeresque'.Federer was at top for record four & half years - incredible & he is the only one to get two majors ie.Wimbledon & US Open five times in a row.Such was his standard that we expected nothing less than divine,sublime & 100% perfect tennis from him!Now if anyone comes anywhere close or near to him in quality & consistency,his game will be called 'FEDERERESQUE' like we in cricket used to call Lara & Tendulkarkar's game 'BRADMANESQUE'!!!
