⇒ 2008 french open finals

watched the finals live! y-yae...

shiiiiiiiiit! Federer got whupped 6-1, 6-3, 6-0! in about 1'40" only! Nadal didn't drop a set the entire tournament!

Not only that, but he's 11-6 on Federer now, and he straight-setted Novak Djokovic along the way. Damn...

Watching him play, I couldn't figure out what exactly he does better than anyone else on clay, but that might be it--the deception. I guess he disguises his tactics or setups so well that my amateur eyes cannot keep up. Add to that his beastly fitness, speed and power. Got the trophy from the Ice-Borg himself...Federer looked distraught and demoralized...awesome...anyone who isn't afraid of Federer and demolishes him like that earns respect and awe.

Nadal's clay court record is 2 losses in over 115 matches! 28 straight victories at Roland Garros since debut!...He's fearless.

Federer wasn't playing superhuman, but he wasn't terrible either. He just never really challenged Nadal.

You could say Roger made a Fed-error...(apologies for the lame pun)
