Anyway, I'm getting angry so I stop, congratz' Nadal.


Maybe he isn't too bright, his English hasn't vastly improved the last few years, no?

I know people can get sick of the same player winning every year but you'd think Rafa would be more loved that he is as RG. I mean after all the winning Federer has done the majority of people still want him to win even at Wimbledon and USO where he has dominated.

People wanted to see Federer beat Sampras GS record, I think the majority do not want to see Rafa break it.


i understand but for example at Wimbledon you won't see that, am i right or not?, they support Rafa and support Federer, but anyway what i said is that the crowd did not help him to win the title or support him or anything so why? say the typical "thank you blabla"??

Well Wimbledon isn't a great example as it is always the most respectful crowd, Rafa is certainly supported more here than at the French.

That's not the question, if I was a great champion as Nadal and win six GS in a foreign country in the most important tournament for me, yeah I guess I could learn a few basic sentences, just enough to explain what I got in mind.

But maybe I'm a bit harsch, maybe .. ^^



Yep you're right fedfan

At Wimbledon most of the crowd can't tell Rafa and Roger apart due to the white outfits.

anyway maybe you're right, but are we really talking about Rafa's ability to speak languages when he just got the 6th RG at the age of 25?? :shock:

At least, RG crowd has good taste : They always loved guys like McEnroe, Sampras, Agassi, Kuerten, Safin, Federer... 8)

Maybe Rafa is not loved like them, but the RG crowd does not hate him... He has been well applaused by the crowd today, maybe we didn't hear the same things but it seemed like crowd love Rafa, ther was a lot of noise! But against its "favorites" (the Kuerten, the Safin, the Federer's like) il's aways like that here...
What we could complain of, is the fact that Rafa is not in those "favorites", this can be understandable (imo), and not enough for not beeing polite...

Well Courier didn't get a rapturous reception either, it's about the style of tennis they play, the French like too see a bit or artistry out there.

The balls really helped attacking tennis this year at Roland Garros, Wimbledon take note!

Federer has said it is his goal to win Wimbledon this year, can't wait too see what happens.

btw Rafa should invite Roger to dinner because Nadal would have never won RG against Djokovic in the final, so thank you Roger.
