I'll tell you what when Fed is playing well like he did in the 4th set. It really is a thing of beauty. Hope that didn't sound to gay lol ;D

Nadal has got in hi head though and you can see it. But Ive Rafa's game for its brutality as much as I do Roger'sfor elegance. That was gay!!!:lolhaha:
Awesome; Roger up a break and got perfect control of that dropshot. The Scarecrow can't get out of the way of his limb like legs:LOLATYOU: I was going to scream if the anorexic bumble bee beat Fed. Hope Rogerdoesn' have a mental meltdown any time soon:rolleyes:
Lol maybe a little gay but hey its better than thinking Serena is fit lol ;DQuote:

Word:cool:
Ok Fed gong to blow it again. I swear I'll never root for him agn should he lose this match.:furious2:
What the hell is going on with Fed he usually never melts down mentally. I hope he isn't right now.

Wooooohooooo I was stabbing my De Potro voodoo doll and De Potro faulted and gave Fed the break lol hahhaha VOOOOODOOOOOOO WORKS!!!
I missed the Australian open earlier this year but I did watch the French. Like you mentioned before Nadal gets to him but for the most part Fed is usually pretty sound mentally.Quote:

I think feds about to take this home
If Fed can hold srve hegoes to the final:cool: I bet Soderling takes him though; the guy is possesed.
It would be kinda fitting dont you think. The one guy that always beats Federer gets beat and then Federer gets beat by the man who beat the man.Quote:

Plus like you were saying earlier in this thread that fed seams to play better in the finals when he has pushed to the limits on his way to the final match.
I'm just hoping its a good game.
:cool: Hell of a match; Fed has me biting my nails for a long time there.

Yeah but this one is huge; and I wonder mentally how Fed will handle it. Winning willtie him with Pete Sampras' all time slam record, plus he gets the oe title he doesn't have. And Soderling is going to push him hard; mental issues or not he is in deep wit Soderling unless Sod hs a meltdown. Should be epic!!;D

A little off subject but whats your fav major Legion? I gotta say mine is probably Wimbledon for me.
I completely forgot about him tieing Sampras' record. I remember before the Australian open I saw a interview with Pete and he was asked if he would make the flight down to Australia if Fed was playing in the final. I think it would be cool to see Fed over take Pete at wimbledon, which I think was petes favorite major.Quote:

My fave is the French Open; love the atmosphere and Paris is such a beautiful city. Hate the US Open{though I watch} dislike Wimbledon because of the gay all white clothing rules; love the AO, second to the FO for me.
And if it wasn't for Nadal Fed would have like 19 slams already lol:lolhaha:
Federer is a bastard. Going 5 sets like that really messed up my sleeping. The game didn't start until nigh on midnight my time and I watched it right through. Ive just now had to wake up at 9am in order to climb a bloody mountain. What the heck! :-\
Federer will beat Soderling. Hopefully in a non epic final because I have class early Monday morning!
Safina will win this. I hope I haven't cursed her! ;D
Safina won't win; I hope she can do what she did last year to Sharapova in the semi's, ut he s falling apart. And I wish she ould stop looking at her coach; that motherfukker can't play for her. Stupid cunt. Women's tennis sucks anyways; lazy skanks should have to play 5 sets.
Really, really disappointing showing. She really struggles with her serve and it showed again in this.Quote:

I really like Federer, he's not cocky, very classy and.. heck, he tries to have that trophy for a few years now, he finally deserves it, especially as the missing one would also be the cornerstone to equal the great Sampras' mark.Quote:

I think Federer wins easily in 3 sets, and the 9-0 head to head in Federers favour should do Rogers confidence the world of good.

The head to head with Fed won't matter much; as look at the head to head Fed had with Del Potro; hell the guy had never even taken a set off of Fed and almost beat him down yesterday. If Soderling doesn't lose his cool{he has already proved himself a threat and this has turned into an unforgettable tourny for him so why freak out now??}then he'll give Fed all he could want. Fed is the one who has to keep his cool; the whole world will be watching to see if he can tie the slam record and get that one trophy missin from his case. He lets Sod get up on him 2 sets it's over.
The weather should help Fed as the court is playing heavier and Sod won't be able to power game Fed; so expect alot of dropshots and net work from Fed. Gonna be nerve wracking for me. I might not even watch ad wait till I know it's over; as I don' think my ulcers can deal with it.
I predict Sod in 4-sets.
Not a hope imo mate, Soderling will have tasted nothing like this im going:Quote:

7-5 6-4 6-3 Federer.
Difference between Del Potro and Soderling is that 1. Del Potro is 20 years old and is still improving so the head to head there is not as relevant, 2. Del Potro is world class and imo has just stepped up into the top 5 ( Nadal Federer Murray Djokovic and now Del Potro) and the rest of the tour.
Soderling has been known as a choker all his career he once blew a 6-0 5-1 lead in a masters series a couple of years ago and lost, he is talanted and has suprised me and the rest of the world, but theres a reason eh has hovered around 25-50 for the most of his career mentally he is shaky, beating Nadal very impressive and his two results after that but i think the head to head is very relevant, Soderling isnt some kid hes more or less 25 years old 9-0 against Federer is huge imo. I think Federer will take the first set then role over him, hey maybe im wrong but i cant see it.

Well you got some poins; but even you must admit this is a different Soderling we're seeing. Most of that has to do with his new found conditioning.
And the age is a difference between him and Del Potro, but this could be a positive for Sod as he's to the point where he does't care now and is going for each shot like it's his last. Some of these guys get tight and play it safe when they shouldn't, like Fed the last year or so; Sod figures what the hell and goes for it. That combined with his strength and conditioning make him dangerous, as has been seen in this tourny. He has choked alot, and if you saw the middle of the 4th set and start of the 5th against Gonzo he started to have a meltdown there too; then just got ice cold and did his thing.
I hope you're right though and Fed eats him in 3 sets; will be glad to come back here and eat crow. But this could be like a Michael Chang type upset;D
I will say this; best tennis vs. best and Fed wins. This will go down to how Fed brings it. If he is strong mentally tomorrow hetakes it, no matter how good Sod is. It's up to him and blocking out the 14 slams and finally winning the FO and press, fans ,whatever. Just needs to say fukk it and do what he does best. I'm already nervous;D
Agree mate Soderling has been playing amazing tennis and just hitting the ball so hard and deep, the Nadal victory was amazing i think the way he best Davydenko was unreal as Davydenko is probably one of most underrated players int eh world and especially on clay, i hope we see an amazing final, i also agree Federer hasnt really played that well and on another day Del Potro wins that semi in straights but he is still young and is getting closer and closer to beating the top guys, but like i say if i had had to put money on it id go Federer in staright but, most my predictions have been awful so far. ;DQuote:

About Davydenko he has always been a fave of mine; just gt tired of seeing him not get that elite game when he needed it. He has to be one of the fittest guys; and he will go and go and go all day. I awys called him Mighty Mouse cause' thats what he reminded me off;D I wouldn't call him an underachiever, gatekeeper seems more the word, I guess just cause I like him. Shame really he never won a slam; he deserved to if anyone. Was shocked to see him blast Verdasco like that, damn.
I'm not looking forward to seeing Fed crying tomorrow; he will you know;D:bawling:;D Win or lose he'll be crying; wonder which makes him cry more? Gonna be funny. I hope he gets it though.
Skel did you watch that Sod/Gonzo match? LOL late in the 4th Gonzo go fukked by some geezer line guy and sat down and wiped his arse on the line:lolhaha: You gotta see it; that shat was classic.
I missed it mate lol Il have to try find it watched the last set of the Gonzo match. Cant wait for the grass season now looks really open i just hope Nadal is fit to defend his title.Quote:

The line guy pointed to the wrong mark; on relpay it was clearly out by like 6 inches.

Federer leads 3-0 in the first set.
Feds came out guns a blazin in this finale. Hes looking almost unstoppable right now. Lets see if he can keep it up.
Fed took the first set 6-1
Some crazy fan just ran on the court.
