All that crying is getting a bit too much now. Very awkward for Nadal.
That's so sad, two great guys.
Gay post but true.
He is just not as good as Nadal any more. If the latter was 100%, he would have won it in 3 or 4.Ridiculous. He had Nadal where he wanted him, stretched it out to 5 sets and Nadal was obviously getting tired, then he goes and self destructs.

If it wasn't for Nadal, Roger would have crushed that Sampras record and it must get to him.
Bloody tiring that, nice nap before Liverpool - Chelsea? I think so.
Not as if that will live up to its billing though.
Physically Nadal is better, so Federer needs to respond to that in some way. He will obviously not get to Nadal's level at this stage of his career/age but he could still use different training methods etc. Improvements can always be made. Could have served better today, which is something he will need to do when they meet again this year. He obviously still has the game as well as a hunger and desire to win, so I would not put it past him.
You will probably have a nice nap during it, if their recent games are anything to go by.
You might as well as say 2 tournaments cause if Rafa is fit, Rolland Garros is for himIt is up to him to respond in the three remaining tournaments. Regardless of the record and if he reaches it, you want to see another response to the threat of Nadal in terms of his 'legacy' and the recent wins he has over him on his surfaces. It is meaningless otherwise.

Nadal is quite brilliant and is going nowhere for quite a while though.
I agree with you guys,the 5th was really poor compared to the rest but maybe Federer psychologically gave up. If it wasn't for Nadal, Roger would have crushed that Sampras record and it must get to him.
On the other hand what can you say about Nadal,the guy is mentally on another level.
Tough luck. He hates losing, but which professional athlete doesn't?
When he was whipping roddick and hewitt asses in all Grand Slams, I don't see roddick or hewitt cried. If it wasn't for Fed, Roddick would be a multiple grand slams winner now. Same logic.
Rafa doesn`t do "getting tired"
I think Fed will take Wimbledon and he should be a decent price now.
