Novak Djokovic is just like Tom Cruise --- a good actor hahahaha he always have something everytime he loses or to the advantage of his opponents...thats the true actor ....hahahaha

Also if Rafa takes this AO, some will consider him more likely to achieve the career GS than the Fed. But if Roger's Roland Garros rest plan works (he'll play far fewer clay warm-ups this year), all Rafa fans will be silenced for sure. First, Rafa, pls. get past Verdasco. Tennis fans will be grateful for the fantastic final you and Roger will then be sure to create.

In response to jc3312, what the heck is "tric"? Anyway we get the gist of what you're trying to say. Video is just as fallible as Hawkeye due to frame rates, distortions caused by the convex nature of the lens, and camera perspective, not to mention the fact that if play had to be stopped everytime there was a challenge for a video review, like the NFL, then matches would take much longer than they already do and it would break the rhythm of the players. Hawkeye is accurate to 3/100ths of an inch according to it's manufacturer, so it's unlikely that it it less accurate than a video replay, especially since video is only able to capture a limited number of views depending upon where the cameras are placed. In any case, there are bad calls in tennis with or without Hawkeye, it's up to the player to overcome those.

Mats made an interesting point after the Nadal-Simone match: Simone's exceptional backhand on those Nadal high-kicking returns is what gave Rafa the most trouble in this match. According to Wilander, neither Verdasco nor Federer has such a weapon. I think if Rafa gets past the Spanish semi he will pepper Rog's backhand much more than Roddick did. Also, if Rafa wins the final, imagine how much that will get into Roger's head with Roland Garros around the corner!

nahdull is better than andre??? andre is better than sampras??? why shud i care when we have ROGER, the GREATEST OF ALL TIME now!!! need i say more??? this yr's RG w be his to shut his critics up!!!

HI to all of You!

Could u please stop fighting and writing such a @#$% about good players like Djokovic, Murray or Roddick? Please? TY!!!!!

Let me tell You something about Nadal and Federer?

Thanks to those 2 players mens game steped up to another level ( we did not had such a game before, NEVER, not even with sampras and agassi, and defenitlly not with edberg, becker or mcnroe and borg)

FEDERER AND NADAL WILL BE REMEBERED (when they retired) as :::::::

1. Roger FEDERER as THE BEST TENNIS PLAYER
2. Rafael NADAL as THE 2nd BEST ( all the time)
and then comes Sampras...

so once again, please guyzzzzzz, stop writing such a @#$% about Nadal and Federer,
(as well about any other player who come to the TOP 10 = they are all very good tennis players)
cause U CAN NOT TEACH or even ADVICE :
Tiger Woods how to play GOLF or Miachel Jordan how to play BASKETBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Nadal and Federer (net play) are still improving so we can get even better tennis next couple years!!!

STICH STINKS PERIOD

Rafa can will what ever he wants... and yes,this year's AO belongs to him

Andre was my favorite player before Rafa and I'm very proud because great Spaniard will achieve all Aggasi that did and be better of that!!!

Vamos Rafa

I think Rafa will win the Australian Open. Rafa can do it.

i think Federer will win the Australian Open against his rival Rafa Nadal

up fed

Andre is not only a legend!!!!!!!!!!!he's a wonderful person too!!!!I adore him!!!!and miss him a lot!!!!!!!:(((((

Michael tends to stich to his own ideas - can only see a Fed v Rafa final, likewise Dinara v Serena. These are really the cream of the cream, very strong physically, and v importantly, mentally.

i live in Australia, and fortunately do not have to listen to Stitch's commentary. i heard the guy was good in his day, but after some of his articles, i don't agree with his opinions and i don't like him. now, Jim Courier is a great commentator, and thankfully in Australia we get to listen to him and Todd Woodbridge. Courier has a sense of humour as well as a knowledge of the game.

I had no interest in watching the games at present....I found a hot place, you guys should try it ___Wealthy beauty co m_____a great place for rich people to meet their soul mates....

* Hawk eye is the possibility of tric !*
Everybody trust hawk eye absolutely .
But I doubt hawk eye is the possibility of tric.
I scanned replay video again and again with slow speed motion at the time of challenge call and compared with hawk eye.
As a result , I found hawk eye is the possibility of tric .
Broadcast must show replay video near the line with slow speed at the time of challenge call.
Replay video near the line with slow speed is better than Hawk eye

N0 48 webbski,well said ,Stich did have a great game,in the days when grass courts were fast and the balls faster.He is a grandslam champion,unlike any of the bloggers here.His opinion carries some weight,and he mixed it with the best of his generation.He may not be right all the time,few of us are,but he has earned the right to give an opinion.

finals:nadal + federer....... come sunday

GOOD LUCK RAFA!!!
