To me it seemed that federer didn't even want to be on the court, no fight. Seemed like his mind was elsewhere

I just wonder if he is a little unsure at the minute how he wants to play against Rafa and Novak. The last 6 months he has been looking to be more aggressive, attack the net .etc. and against most it has worked and he has looked like he is having fun. But his losses have all been a bit tame, like this year and Shanghai against Murray was awful too. Then again he did win at the 02 so who knows.

Federer is still a great player, but he's a great 29 year-old. Great 29 year-olds, throughout the course of sporting history, have always had trouble with great 23 and 24 year-olds.

Watching Sharapova and she has a truly awful serve nowadays, not a clue where it is going. 22 errors in 1 set and hasn't held once at 1-6 0-2. Doesn't look like she will be saving the womens tour.

She gets wins where she absolutely demolishes her opponents (Safina comes to mind...) and then this!!!

BLEGH!!!!

I don't understand how a professional can hit so many errors in 7 games...

by **fedfan** » Sat, 02 Apr 2011 19:19

And seriously the noise is pathetic, players need to start getting code violations or something or it will just get worse with new players coming on tour.

Hard to believe this is a Premier final.

by **fedfan** » Sat, 02 Apr 2011 19:29

43 errors, 7 df, and held serve once! That'll be a former No.1 and 3 times GS Champion for you!

The worst grunter on the men's side I'd have to say would be Guga... but even his was bearable.

The girls seem to grunt all the way until the opponent makes contact! That's absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for. I'm surprised some of their opponents didn't say "OMG SHUT UP!!!!" in the middle of rallies. Sharapova's eccentric too.

Yeah, or just call out random nonsense when hitting the ball if the opponent is grunting.

by **VillaJ100** » Sat, 02 Apr 2011 22:05

it is stupid as hell. Also the williamses, i'm pretty sure they didnt holler like that early in their career, so why now? I know hitting a ball is good, but the way the WTA goes on its orgasmic

by **jayl0ve** » Sat, 02 Apr 2011 22:36

Honestly the girls are just trying to piss each other off with those grunts.

Get a bunch of women together and some bitchy s**t happens.

Novak has had chances in every Nadal service game but down a double break, wonder if it will just be one of those days. Nadal not looking to be as aggressive as last week but there saying conditions are pretty gusty

Update: 1 of the breaks recovered
