i think it's not destroying the winning ceremony..hmm.. even nadal 'the CHAMPS' respect fed for that, i think that's how the sportsmanship.. but i keep asking in my minf why there're such people who say 'u're destroying the ceremony..blahblah....do not be selfish fed!'??
hah..that ridiculous, we are not supposed to judge roger.....
keep the spirit up roger!!! u're the greatest..

OFCOURSE NADAL SHOULD HAVE RESPECT FOR ROGER BECOS HE MIGHT NOT ACHIEVE WHAT FEDERER HAS ACHIEVED IN TENNIS,REMBR HOW LONG FEDERER HAD THE NUMBER ONE SPOT FOR,AND ALSO REMBR HW MANY SLAMS HE HAS WON,AND HE IS RATED AS THE GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME!! SO THERE MUST STILL BE A SIGN OF RESPECT FOR HIM,IF AM NADAL I WILL ALWAYS RESPECT ROGER ANYWHERE I SEE HIM,COS THE GUY IS A GREAT CHAMP AND A HERO

(From Rude God Post 52) People still saying that Federer should retire; ridiculous. He's made the final of the last 4 grand slams and is head and shoulders above everyone else except for Nadal. I don't think Roger Federa should retire, maybe toughen up a bit. But that head and shoulders comment is the most blinkered comment I've read, Andy Murray is beating Federa consistantly and beating him well, the younger players have Roger's game sussed they know if they just hang in he will make twice as many unforced errors than any the other top players. Toughen up stop making mistakes and get back to number 1 Roger. Oh and stop crying like a big girl.

Oh Roger, you are such a hearbreaker, but we still love your game, you were very close to win it, 12 breakpoints in one match? unbelievable, but its useless to think about it now. Hope you will win again soon. Very well Done Rafa, you started to win our hearts with your amazing sportsmanship and humble attitude. Vamos Rafa.

I have no problem with Federer crying at the ceremony, and I don' t think it ruined anything for Nadal. After the ceremony I really started respecting Nadal even more than I did before, having seen how he understood the moment and didn't go all crazy celebrating in front of the devastated Federer. I think this was the most painful loss of his career, last year's French Open a distant second. If you look how he reacted to the Wimbledon loss, you will see that he was not dissapointed at all, he knew he fought hard, he showed his courage there coming back in hopeless situations, had no regrets over the match. This loss hurts a lot more because there is a lot of things to regret, despite what he said in the aftermatch interview. He was very bitter in the interview ("I wish I was a lefty like him" just one example), but I can understand it just after such a loss. I think Federer needs a change of perspective, some person (couch) that can change his attitude coming into the games with Nadal, because when he plays him you feel he always has a monkey on his back that slows him down.

Federer needs to change his tactics against nadal for sure. But i think its only a matter of time before he gets his 14 grandslams or maybe even surpass sampras record. goodluck fed!

To "Lindy" "mozekakodane"etc .Those stupid cows do not know anything abt tennis.You're part of the few dafts incapable to understd what it takes to be a champion,all the sacrifices and the entire devotion required to do well in the sport you love.Not gonna waste my time any longer with 2 idiots having such pitiful comments.Your existence must be so meaningless to kill time that way.Shame on U.THE END Jess X

50 - real men know that to cry is not sissy it is a release of tension. Maybe more of them should try it instead of being 'macho' or not as the case may be.

fed is just a bad looser he had no respect for nadal i hope nadal wins the us open now and will of won all 4 whilst fed could only win 3 of the 4

i think nadal is a very good example to the sport of tennis ............
he is cool and really respect roger , i think is a role model to young up coming

players vamosssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss;''

The match maybe was exciting but only because of a bad feeling I got about Federer's performance since the first set loss. If he'd taken the third set I believe he could win but after that tiebreak loss I somehow knew he is not going to do so.

I wanted Federer to win, the match was amazing, I was very exited all through. Go Roger you'll win the next time I'm sure! He's great. But Rafa was also great for his sportsmanship. I liked how he spoke about Fed showing respect. Thanks guys, U R so marvelous.

People still saying that Federer should retire; ridiculous. He's made the final of the last 4 grand slams and is head and shoulders above everyone else except for Nadal.

Roger can take a lot out of this match. If he'd got thumped, mentally it would have been very tough to come back. But he had his chances and knows he can beat Nadal. Nerves let his first serve down, coupled with the fact that Nadal is probably faster than Linford Christie over ten yards, meaning extra pressure to put the ball away early.
All the best Roger, you'll get the record, just keep trying.

ALL I CAN SAY IS " BOYS DON'T CRY "

I wish Roger had won it. but he'll have more chances to do it. I like his personality. He is definitely one of the greatest and I wish him to win more tourneys. He deserves it. Reger Federer is still the Best!

roger is not the best anymore and he admted that, so it will be better for him

I am not a fan of either Rafa or Federer...I am enjoying their battles. I must admit though that I was cheering for Rafa yesterday. Just wanted him to add an Australian Open. After all, he won ALL his Grand Slams having to overcome one of the best if not the best player in history!!! So, when he says he's unlucky that he has to play Roger every time, he's genuine. But that makes his victories more meangingful:)))))

As far as Roger crying is concerned...I don't really understand. If he's cool...then people complain he's a robot...if he has emotions, people complain he doesn't behave like a man. Come on, guys!!!

amazing victory nadal.fedex should start thinking retirement now he' still in glory.the rate at which the youngsters are going,it'll be really difficult.
