I guess this might be end of French dream for Federer...It ll surely take a miracle to beat the current king of clay...
Since i was totally jobless sitting at home...i followed Rolland Garros (french open) a bit closely this time around..
Federer is still the world number 1 but in today's final he didnt really show what he's made of...consistency...There were a few sparks here and there with the drop shots and all that but the number of unforced errors summed up his game...Nadal's cross court shots were out of this world...haven't seen someone hit em like that...To be beaten in 3 straight sets is a shame...6-0 in the third set said it all
Nadal's clay domination is here to stay and more French titles are awaiting him...
I am no tennis expert but from what i have seen, Nadal tries to dictate the pace of the game...and his movement across the baseline is terrific...its like he was born on clay...I saw Federer slipping away a few times in the semifinal game...clay is simply not his terrain...
Talking about the other gender...Lucky ivanovic...She must totally thank Justine Henin for the early retirement...I wanted Safina to win after watching her comeback games against Elena & Maria...But ivanovic prevailed...
Well...with Djokovic having the recent aus open, nadal with the french...the race for wimbeldon is wide open...i dont see any particular favourite...
Totally looking forward to wimbeldon....

FedEx v Nadal takes me to that mesmerizing finale at Wimbledon last year. While accuracy is FedEx's forte, power is that for Nadal. Rafa's been a constant threat to Roger for they bring in two contrasting varieties of play to the court. The ace that he is, FedEx still needed that stroke of luck to defend his supremacy at the center court, while Nadal ultimately gave in to his opponent's trademark composure. Come this time to Wimbledon and Rafa would be striving his every bit to halt the Federer Express.
Great thoughts Abhi, it's been a refreshing post. Me blogrolling you is just around the corner.
thanks ritesh...yeah!...federer will surely be a force to reckon with...but its surely gonna be a lot tougher for him...
Federer is God dude..!! Federer is so damn perfect. I meant nadal rocked the french open. He is undefeated. 6-1 6-3 6-0 against federer is gr8.
