Roger is a great player, but he's so arrogant...­ and so ungracious in defeat. He simply can't­ accept that Rafa is now the better player and easily­ world No 1. I actually thought Roger was the greatest­ player I'd ever seen but i now put Rafa just ahead­ as player but a mile ahead as as sportsman because of­ his attitude to winning and losing. He's humble­ when winning and gracious in defeat, many people should­ follow his example.... starting with Federer

Well done to both players. Shame one person had to­ lose, however, I agree with Enigma that Federer could­ have been more gracious - it was all about him, whereas­ Nadal has shown us all, once again, how sports people­ should behave.

We're so lucky to have two such brilliant players­ around at the same time. I just wish that Federer was­ a little bit more gracious in defeat, and accepted that­ he lost because Nadal was simply better on the day,­ rather than saying he lost because he played badly in­ parts. Nadal has a superb temperament and personality­ and is always gracious whether he loses or wins.­

Unfortunately, we're not so fortunate in the­ women's game, and I found the final embarrassing to­ watch. Sorry, but I cannot see the justification for­ equal prize money (and I'm female!) There is no­ depth or consistency to the game at the moment.

SEEMS NO MATTER THE NUMBER OF TIMES NADAL BEATS FEDERER­ THERE ARE LOTS OF QUESTION ON WHY HE LOST.PEOPLE SHOULD­ LOOK AT THE RECORDS BETWEEN THE TWO.RAFA IS SO­ DOMINANT.IF IT HAD BEEN THE OTHER WAY ROUND NO QUESTION­ WOULD BE ASKED.WHY?

You did your best Fed,you were both aiming to break new­ ground and in any situation there are winners and­ losers! Thanks for the entertainment and wish you luck­ at your next attempt.
