Comment 1 - 3 of 3
it was apparent that nadal was definately tired before the finals but federer couldn'nt use that. Next time in France federer will be different
it was apparent that nadal was definately tired before the finals but he's strong will won't let him barge. that's the difference, federer wilted in the last game and nadal took charge and proceeded to win the title. Federer needs to be strong to have a chance with nadal. i thank God i was born into this era of this great tennis stars.
statistics shows that if only Federer correct the service and don't do so many unforced he could win. I still think that Federer is better player than Nadal, Rafa will never have Federer's technique. The problem was in Roger's head. I hope he will break and win another Grand Slam.
