Au Revoir Roland Garros, Welcome Wimbledon!

[Emiliano]

This year's Roland Garros was pretty exciting. Nadal took it for the 4th consecutive year beating Roger Federer for the 3rd consecutive year as well. Although Rafa's win was quite dominating (Nadal won 6-1 6-3 6-0) both players had a great tournament. Pretty disappointed with our Argentinian players since the clay surface is where we excel. Oh well...at least our up and coming young players like Schwank did a decent job!

Anyways, clay court season is officially over! Now, grass here we come. This year's Wimbledon is looking to be a really good one. Federer's dominance in Wimbledon ( 5 straight years as champion and still going...) in my opinion won't stop this year, specially with the motivation of coming so close yet again to winning Roland Garros against his long time rival! Grass courts are the quickest tennis surface so expect the hard-hitters to really flourish at Wimbledon. Hopefully Nalbandian does a good job again like he has done in the past!

Any tennis fans here? What are your thoughts about this year's Roland Garros and the upcoming Wimbledon tournament?

Grass is for cows.








It's Federer's tournament to lose, IMO.

[Emiliano]

Grass is for cows.

Or big Bob Marley fans...ahemp...me...ahemp...

I expect Federer to dominate, unless he starts to make the thousands of errors he made today against Nadal...unbelievable...

[GoHornets]

I would like to know who's better, Federer playing on grass or Nadal playing on clay courts.

[Emiliano]

That is really really though to answer. Federer won the last five Wimbledon tournaments and( Nadal had) the biggest winning streaks on their respective surfaces. They are both freaks of nature I would say Federer is more of a rounded player than Nadal since he is the best grass court player and the second best clay court player. However, Nadal is a master at clay but there are plenty of other that are better than him on grass. He is getting better at it though so Roger should be scared

Guys cant you remember last year exhibition game "battle of surfaces". Nadal won it Hope that can answer sth, anyway i know that match was a shit.
ps: btw i love tennis, hope to see nalbi making a good tournament

[Emiliano]

Wimbledon starts tomorrow! hahaha, I highly doubt anybody cares in this forum.

......I'll leave now.......

I'm hoping Safin can cause Fed some troubles in the Semis if they meet... but I don't see it happening unfortunately.

[L10]

In my opinion Ancic can cause more troubles than Marat not only because he was the last player to beat Federer at Wimbledon... i think Safin can have one of his bad days and play like shit

[LegoTP]

Heh well Marat and Roger will face off in the semis, it's gonna be a nice game
Still I'm expecting a good win this year again for Federer. Nadal reached a high level on grass though.

[L10]

Well another Roger-Rafa final !! Hope to see Federer reaching his 6th title here and his 13th Grand Slam title

[Emiliano]

It's actually so surprising how dominating Nadal is in this tournament as well as Roger. Everybody knew Federer was gonna cruise to the final but Nadal has not only reached his third straight Wimbledon final but I believe that it is the first time he looked so comfortable and confident out there! It's gonna be a pretty exciting Sunday

[Drex]

Exciting like a Roland Garros final?

[BIG GREEN]

This is nadal's year...I garun-fucking-tee that federer is going down this year

[Emiliano]

Exciting like a Roland Garros final?

That final was just so lopsided that it lost it's excitement from the get-go.

This is on grass. You never know what might happen.

[shadowgrin]

Grass always makes things more interesting.

[Patr1ck]

Grass always makes things more interesting.

You've never smoked clay, have you?

Edit - Wow, I can't believe Federer came back and won that fourth set. Nadal had momentum and was going to break Roger's serve during a Deuce and they are now in a rain delay.

This is nadal's year...I garun-fucking-tee that federer is going down this year

And it's official. Great match.

[ixcuincle]

Congrats to Nadal. That was a great match , shame I missed the sets after the first 2.

[L10]

Im so sad. Just hope to see Federer wining the US Open.

[Jing]

So Nadal won? Congrats, if it was down to one of the two it'd be Nadal.

[Drex]

What a great match

[Emiliano]

I feel the same way! Very exciting match! It was the longest Wimbledon final ever and how can it be any better with the two greatest tennis players of today. Amazing match, congrats Rafa

[GoHornets]

Please stop Nadal. I'm getting tyred of watching him winning every single tournament... and he's only 22!

[shadowgrin]

"Please stop Nadal"

Hell no. I got tired of watching Federer win, it's time for him to go down.

[L10]

"Please stop Nadal"

Hell no. I got tired of watching Federer win, it's time for him to go down.

yeah probably yes
i love roger but i think he has to go down some day
its nice to see rafa and novak fighting up there but im just expecting to see federer getting 15 grand slams titles so then he can be consider the best player of tenis history with doubting about it.
