Federer.
-
I want nadal to win, but something tells me federer will take the title.
-
team federer
-
I want Nadal to win as well but Federer is playing smooth and well this tournament. Don't know if last night's match will have a significant impact on Nadal's performance on Sunday.
PS. What a mediocre finale on TV at the moment :P

All over now, only like an hour long. Not worth the near $200, but the mens would be.
When she was up 3-0 in the first I stopped watching because I knew she would win easily.
-
I think Nadal, only because of his form earlier in the tournament, which I think he will regain.
-
I really hope federer wins so he can equal sampras's 14 grand slams
-
i dont know who to go for.. there both great players
-
Go Federer!

whatever.
CMON NADAL. ONE SET DOWN, TWO TO GO.
-
NO C'MON FED!!!
its; not looking good for him atm
-
Does anyone else notice the extreme bias from Courier towards nadal? Gee nadal is an angel in his eyes tonight!!
Comments such as "It doesn't matter if nadal loses tonight because he has won the mental battle" Umm okay :S

Dont worry, theres been instances where federer has not necessarily been the best player, but he wins the critical points and hence wins the match.
-
Thats because Federer has been hyping himself up in the media;being overly confident, saying things about the match.

WHat? I have seen it myself. Take the Berdych match. The roddick match where the 2nd and 3rd sets were both pretty even, but fed won the important points and hence won the match.
Federer is a pretty modest guy to be honest. If he is talking himself up, he can, he has won 13 slams.
-
Gotta agree with ya there mullum
-

Federer is the best at tiebreakers.
Roger hates Nadal.

What is there to agree with?
I didn't say that Rog was not modest, I said he hyped it up in media.
Roger must be feeling really healthy before he started the game.

NADAL WINS THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN!! YOU ABSOLUTE SUPERSTAR!!!!!!
-
twas pretty sad when the fed cried :(
great effort from nadal though, superhuman infact
-
nadal isn't entertaining?! he comes up with some of the craziest shots ive ever seen.
-
he lacks finesse.
i agree, Nadal comes out onto the court with brute force and pretty much hits every one off the court.
So shattered for Federer :(
IMO, Feds should've won that first set!
6 break points in the 3rd aswell :(
Credit to Nadal for gutsing that match out though.
-
i thought it was a real good match and nadal definitley deserved to win.
as much as i like federer, i really wish he didnt cry, like i understand his frustration with his performance etc, but hes lucky hes got to win it like what 3 times?
it was nadals time to shine, his first aus open title, and i felt that fed just took some of that away from nadals special moment.
i love both players though, and its great to see that despite being eachothers biggest rival, they still get along like very good mates.
man i love the tennis, esp. aus open, im sad its all over! :(
-
GO Nadal, I felt so sorry for federer when he started to cry. I actually want him to win the next open now.

Next open is french LOL
Federer for Wimbledon 09!!
-
yeah wimbledon is mad. havent watched a wimbledon match in ages, do they still have that strawberries and cream thing?lol
-
That was a great Win by Nadal seeming that he had played 5hrs 14mins two days ago.
Federer is still a Champion, Greatest of All Time, it doesn't matter how many Grand Slams he wins. But I myself hope he wins more than Sampras. No one will know how Federer really felt;reason behind it, at the end except himself.
-
Federer for French 09!!!

Federer for French 09!!!
Yep, and Rafa wins US Open so that both will have won on all courts

Yeh i agree with you there, It definitely looked like it spoilt Nadal's turn in the spotlight. It made it hard for Nadal to feel elated because his opponent was crying.
-

doesn't mean he's not entertaining.

ofcourse nadal's gonna smash any player who isn't good enough (and he probably does it intentionally as it makes no sense to lengthen a match) but when it comes to matches with federer and the like he spends a lot of the time running around defending whilst waiting for the right opportunity to strike. that's why you see him continuously returning balls that would pretty much be impossible for any other player.
imo the description you've given there applies more to someone like roddick or safin and not nadal.

Is their Intelligence vs Power matching comparable to that of McEnroe vs Becker?

Yeh thats a good comparison. Although, mcenroe had a bigger serve.
-
Nadal has an advantage over Federer because each year he has roland garros in the bag whereas Federer has to fight for every championship event to even win. Nadal is also mentally stronger (as you can see after the australian open). I think this year is Nadal FTW
