Nadal seems to be on top early in the 1st set...............
Go Nadal!!
-
Go Fed =D
-
Hope it will be a long night :)
Going for Federer, mainly cuz I want him to get the magic 6 in a row
-
Neither really is 'on top'. They are both playing at a very even level.
Nadal however got the early break as a result of Federer missing all his first serves in that game.
Going for Fed
-
I don't really like either players, but my prediction is for Federer to win in 5 sets (hopefully 21-19 in the 5th) haha that would be awesome - we'd be here till 6am lol
-
I dont mind. Id love to watch the tennis till 6am
NO federer is about to lose the 1st set =(
-
damn fed was so close to breaking back
-
yep, nadal won the first set 6-4 =(
-
Grr... I think for large parts of that set federer was the better player. Some of the shots he did were incredible.
Federer is obviously vulnerable on his backhand unless its short and hes moving forward.
Has to get to the net if he wants to win. 90% of Nadals serves are to Federers backhand and his ground strokes are predominatly to federers backhand so hes gonna lose on his backhand when hes on the backfoot.
GET TO NET ROG
-
federer looks extremely uncomfortable and doesn't seem to be hitting high risk shots.. nadal has got him rattled
-
VAMOS RAFA!!!!!!!!
Federer is simply not winning the crunch points, and taking his oppurtunities.
-
Federer did very well to come back in that game, otherwise it was GG. Hope the rain doesn't come to interrupt the match.
-
I guess you just said it, the rain has interupted us. I actually believe that federer is playing better than nadal. evident through the amount of break points he has received. O well, just wait and see i guess

Play should resume at 3am .. ahhh I reckon it'll at least go to 4 sets .. looks like it's going to be a long night
-
FIFTH SET FIFTH SET OMG OMG OMG FEDERER WHAT A LEGEND
That passing shot which saved match point was EPIC
-
This game is FUCKING EPIC.
Has to go down as one of the best matches of all time no matter what the result.
-
Sigh......DAMN YOU LONDON WEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yeah, gosh, so annoying... that must be so hard for the players to deal with too... all the anxiety, it would be like having to wait an extra half year for your vce results because they got all mixed up. (using relative time)
-
Over... finally, that was one of the most epic things I have ever seen
Congrats to Nadal
-
RAFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Best game of tennis I have seen in my life. I am truly privileged to have witnessed this game.
-
lmfao i fell asleep and woke up just in time to see the last few games :P
I can't believe rafa won! :S
-
I fell asleep then woke up again when enwiabe called me to make me watch tennis :P
I just watched the start of the 5th set!
Well done to rafa, he truly deserves his victory :)
$10 to midas_touch haha.
-
Well done to Rafa!
I fell asleep, nooooooo. Replays :)
-
RAFAELLLL NADALLLLLLLL WOOOO 1 step closer to numero uno
-
Sigh......DAMN YOU LONDON WEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know and wat a crappy roof they got as well, it takes like 15 minutes to close and shut.
Not like the great stadiums we got in melbourne such as rod laver, T dome.

.........................................
It doesnt even have a roof YET but if you noticed they have started construction on the roof which will be finished by next years wimbledon (didnt it occur to you why they had to keep going off when it rained?)
And it will be state of the art , made from material that allows light through (to let the grass grow and let natural light through) but will keep all the rain out
-
OMG that match was brilliant i think it was the best tennis match ever. i watched it until like 6:30am omg i was soo tired and woke up 5:30pm haha... but yeah i was rooting for nadal to win cause he was like the underdog and federer always wins so yeah soo good that nadal won!!!9-7!!!
-
costargh, when are you deleting your account? Federer lost. We don't like liars.
-
LOL. Words said in the heat of the moment don't count.
-
watched a start but fell asleep and didn't wake up again cause I had to go off somewhere in the morning
-
<costargh> if he loses this
<!enwiabe> no, ahmad
<!enwiabe> really?
<!enwiabe> :p

QED
-
Or if you ignore enwiabe, like I do, it just says clear and simple:
<costargh> if he loses this
<costargh> i will delete my account on vcenotes
(Yes, this was just an excuse to flaunt that I ignore enwiabe)
-

Coblin's such a rebel.

GAHHH i recorded the match, but i didn't set the timer for long enough!!!
can't believe it was such an amazing match- and i missed half of it >:(
i like both rafa and federer- on on hand i wanted rafa to win for a change, but i also wanted federer to win, so he could get a record. poor federer, this year is not his year.
btw, does anyone know what happened to tsonga?

Meh, he was just a one time performer....
sure, he might be up there in terms of the rankings, but wont consistently challenge for majors.
Just like baghdatis and gonzalez..........
-
btw, does anyone know what happened to tsonga?
he has a knee injury - he won't be back playing for a few months
-
Ouch... I always liked Tsonga. I had a strange attraction to him :P
-
nadal is not a gun; he is still carrying a major knee injury.
-
If Federer can't at least make the final in the US open, then I consider him to be practically finished. The Rafaloution has begun.

admirable effort to win 2 grand slams and carry double knee tendonitis, scary to think what he is capable of when he is at full health
