can't beat him on a regular basis? for years fed has womped on nadal... only this year has nadal even made a dent.... 2009 will see if nadal can maintain his play and if Fed is truely back

Nadal's played ... ( 3 months ago by ver506)

Nadal's played Federer 18 times, he's 12-6 against him. If you think all that happened this year, then you're special! Like i said, i have nothing against Federer, this is not about you or me. I'm a Nadal fan and will always be, you're a Federer fan and will probably always be one. Unlike you, i can't tell the future, but i know my guy just had a hell of a year and i'm gonna drink to that!! I'll let people like you worry about the rest of the crap that we have no control over.....

Well you may have a ... ( 3 months ago by hesmon)

Well you may have a point but there are some players whose game just don't suit you. Sampras was a far better player than Richard Krajicek but Sampras lost more against him than he won. Nadal is of course a class player who is physically very fit and he doesn't make many mistakes. Federer's playing is technically perfect but one way or the other Nadal gets to him. But I still think Roger is the best player.

Federer is a ... ( 3 months ago by ver506)

Federer is a fantastic tennis player, he makes tennis look really easy. I'm just a Nadal fan, that's all!! I give Federer his dues!!!!!!

I know and I ... ( 3 months ago by hesmon)

I know and I respect that. I respect Nadal a lot as well. And I understand why a lot of people are Nadal fans. Roger has a lot of respect for Rafa and vice versa and that's the way it should be. And from fans for different players as well. If everbody supported the same player, it wouldn't be any fun at all. I just pointed out why I think Federer is the best even though he lost to Nadal so many times. Just my opinion.

I hear ya, your ... ( 3 months ago by ver506)

I hear ya, your point is well taken. I'm admitedly partial to Nadal, but is it fair that a 22 yr-old Nadal is being compared to a 27 yr-old Federer? Are we looking at what they've been able to do like they're the same age? I'm not implying that Rafa will neccesarily accomplish more that Fed. has at his age, but i still don't think it's a fair comparisson. Again, i agree that Fed. is a tennis GREAT, and the competition from Rafa has made tennis that much more interesting.....

I agree, there is ... ( 3 months ago by hesmon)

I agree, there is nothing more exciting to watch in tennis than Nadal versus Federer. Comparing the two is difficult but Federer needed a bit more time to win Grand slams than Nadal but it is impossible to say whether Nadal will keep on winning slams. He certainly has many years and opportunities to do so. I just hope the rivalry will continue to thrill us fans.

I agree, there is ... ( 3 months ago by hesmon)

I could not agree ... ( 3 months ago by ver506)

I could not agree more, long live the rivalry!!!!!!

Ever so true.

although if nadal was a right handed player, I imagine things would be different in between him and federer..dont you agree?

We'll never know ... ( 2 months ago by hesmon)

We'll never know but you are probably right. Lefties appear to be hard to play.

CleckleysProof is a douche.
no one ever listens to him, or even tries to rationalize with him because he only has one ear, and half of a brain.
Everyone who WATCHED that Olympic match KNOWS that Federer was actually playing PRETTY WELL, making not too many errors, and Blake was playing out of his mind hitting winners left and right....Federer even respectfully gave him a couple racket applause during the match.
Not saying this will keep up, but it happened that day.
He's a bitter asshole.
