I love the way Federer plays. His game is brilliant... but for some reason, when it comes to Federer and Nadal match.... Nadal is the one that I support.

But still, none matches my all time fav, Pete Sampras.

I dont think they telecasted it in India. But I saw it on Youtube. It was a grt match. A very tight tiebreak in the end[7-5 4-6 7-6(12-10)]. Sad,:( :( Federer lost. But he will win the French.
GO ROGER...........:cool: :wink:

Very interesting topic here. My pick - Nadel

Reasons

1) King of Clay Courts, always beat Federer on them, Federer never beat him on Clay courts till date.

2) Nadel beat Federer on grass courts as well.

3) Nadel is a pure tennis genius, Federer on the other side slowly kills the confidence in you through his excellent game play, Nadel on the other side, shows his class with just-cannot-reach returns on any types of courts.

4) Nadel runs, Nadel runs like nuts on the courts unlike Federer who tries his best to let not the other player put him in a inconveninet position and yes atleast all the tennis i've seen specially all the finals where these two guys meet, Nadel protects his side of the boundary hitting back everything on the baseline no matter where the ball is actually. He runs effectively and displays true sportsman spirit ( Note : I didnt say Federer does not display it :) )

5) Every player wants to be Federer but most importantly every aspiring player wants to fight like Nadel.

Enough said, i have justified my choice :) Looking forward to some meaningful discussion here on.

2) Now when did that happen
Fed has'nt lost on grass since 2003 Wimbledon. Nadal has never beaten Federer on grass.

3)Infact, Federer is a pure tennis genius. Nadal only runs and runs and runs....... He has a very few shots to play with. But, Fed has more variety and is more stylish. Nadal can return amazingly only on clay. On the rest of the courts he is good, but not great.

So, NADAL RULZ CLAY
FEDERER RULZ "THE REST"

I support Federer anytime...eventhough his flaws are more than Nadal..

- Nadal can handle pressure better than Federer , he has done it many times on key points.

- Nadal can cover whole court without any problem

- Nadal's has no weakness (atleast on clay) i.e forehand and backend both are perfect...wheres Fed has little beat weak backhand which nadal knows very well and exploits it gladly... where Federer has one of the best fore hands..

- Nadal's game is stylish.. Federer's simple and he sticks to basics..


Still....I support Fed..everytime...Even i hav feeling that he might win Roland Garros this time..;) Lets hope he does...

@drizzling blur-
ure wrong Federer beat Nadal 6-2 6-0 yesterday.in the hamburg open.

I prefer Federer only because of his attitude: u know u reminds me of a college preppy boy as if he's saying OOH im gonna go have a cup o tea.also u notice that federer doesnt usually run much. however yesterday he was all over the place. so if federer gets the stamina and running capability of nadal hed be one of the best players that ever lived.

No-one can have everything man ;)

its just some ppl fine tune thier special areas :) plus nadal is lot younger than Federer so he obviously has more stamina

I support Federer at Frech Open

dude younger doesnt usually mean more stamina. its how u train and what ure body type is. federer isnt much of a runner and nadal is. if federer based his technique on running then his training style would alter. its all about how u train.

i feel that federer is more of a class act in all the surfaces xcept clay,
nadal is in a class of his own in clay ..
however federer did beat him this week for the first time on clay.
hope it doesnt turn the tide against nadal
i still feel nadal is the best on clay
