Federer is not the player he once was lets not forget this, the draw opened up amazingly for him and he was left to play a player whose best result coming into this event was a semi final appearance at some shit warm up event for the Aus Open in Jan, add to the that Federer beat him 9 times on the bounce over the years.

This was Federers worst return in trerms of sets dropped in any of his grand slam wins, im happy for him, but a 100% Nadal wipes the floor with Federer on clay and especailly at the French.

Federer has to be favourite for Wimby now especially that Nadal is looking injured but i think its very open alot of players who could go well, Djoko, Murray, Del Potro etc etc.

I think Federer has one or two more slams left in him, i do think he is the best player ever if you look at them years between 2004 and 2007 no other player in history has beaton so many records such as titles in a season time at number one, them 3/4 years he was fucking amazing.
I agree mate. Definitely the best player I have ever seen. He's the only player I can remeber that has no weakness whatsoever!

I think Nadal (injuries permitting) will go on to be even better. He may not win as many slams, but I think he can be an even better player than Federer has been.

P.S Andy Murray is a choker and much as would like to see it, I don't think he will ever win slam
