Roland Garros 2009

Break point in the third set now. Federer's got this in the bag
 
It looks like Federer is going to win this then. Am i the only one that's a bit underwhelmed? I mean kudos to him, he's a living legend in the tennis game, but he hasn't actually played that well this year has he?
 
How pissed is Nadal watching at home?

Nadal lost fair and square. Has nothing to be pissed about.

But it would be fun to see Federer playing Nadal with the form he has shown today. He obviously gets messed up when facing Nadal, but he is on form today.

He has been in the final in the only two grand slams this year.
 
And he lost in five sets to Nadal in Australia. Beat Nadal on clay in Rome. Played brilliantly today.
 
I mean at Roland Garros this year.

Ok.

I guess no one bar Söderling has been specially magnificent at Roland Garros this year. But Federer shows by getting to the final every year that he has a quality and a stability that few others have. Murray, Djokovic and Nadal all had a bad day and were out. Federer knows how to deal with bad days it seems, exept when facing Nadal.
 
Yeah that's fair enough.
 
Yeah it hasn't been vintage stuff throughout, but he's had to fight and outlast everyone to get here. The others couldn't find their best tennis when it mattered.
 
That said, with Nadal out early we got some great and tight matches. The semifinals for example were fantastic this year.
 
One game away....

Not seen a drop shot in a while.
 
feck sake come on Soderling. I don't want to see that twat crying when he has won.
 
Is he crying? If he is I'm glad I turned my TV off.. I would have smashed the fecker
 
He's stripped off to reveal a 'Take that Addict' vest.
 
Career Grand Slam champions (men): Fred Perry, Don Budge, Rod Laver, Roy Emerson, Andre Agassi and Roger Federer.

Calendar year Grand Slam champions (men): Don Budge (1938) and Rod Laver (1962, 1969).
 
I'm delighted for him, can't wait for Wimbledon.

He's the favourite now and Nadal's a massive 6/1 on Betfair!
 
Great for Federer. Now he can concentrate on adding some more to his 14

I think one of Wimbledon and US Open could be his next.

gaylord Nadal can feck off
so many Roland Garos titles and still the crowd boo him. Says it all really.
