Yes very lucky to get Soderling, I mean who did that gut have to beat? Some sloppy Spaniard called David Ferrer, a weedy Russian named Davydenko, a wacky Chilean by the name of Fernando, oh and some guy called Rafael Nadal who I haven't even heard of.

Honestly any backhanded comments are going right over my head, it's Roger Federer 2009 Roland Garros Champion.

of course he knows he´s been lucky too :wink:

but a lot of respect for him, he handled the pressure very good ! :tu

great to see Agassi on court and sorry to say but you see what´s the difference between Agassi and Federer... Agassi has something that Federer will never have, doesn´t care how many slams he´ll get... and that´s charisma and personality :wink:


Agassi never put himself in the position that Fed has! :wink:

I was a massive Agassi fan but a lot of the love he got from fans was because of his story of starting off a bit of a brat, then fighting back up the rankings and becoming sort of an elder statesman of the tour.

Federer has been at the top for 6 years. I think we will see warmth for Federer grow even more as he enters the twilight of his career.

Roger can go on now and win anything else, the sky is the limit. No pressure really now, hes got nothing else to prove.

no i wasn´t talking about the final... but the match against Haas for example.
of course it wasn´t just luck, it´s mental strength too and that was really good

Good job he won in three, it is bucketing it down now at Roland Garros.

Wow a lot of posts to answer ...

First of all , Fed loses to Rafa , and Rafa loses to other guys , if Rafa didn't lose to anyone then I would say he is a tennis god , it just so happens that Rafa has a style that is very uncomfortable for Roger , that is the end of it ,

Everyone agrees Nadal is a beast in clay, the formula to beat Rafa is to over power him with big powerful flat shots , anyone that likes to hit high balls and knows how to hit them hard will beat Rafa.

The way to beat roger is with high balls on his backhand , if you don't have this you will not win , and not only that but since Roger knows everyone is doing this he practices this shot a lot , and with all the players trying this strategy against Roger he is getting better at dealing with this particular shot.

And Roger not having charisma ? are you nuts ? everyone loves him , even his oponents and the fans were actually going for Roger even he was the favorite to win , how is this not charisma ?

Agassi is great , but charisma and class is the name of the game for Roger

And to everyone that talks crap about Roger when he loses but out of the sudden they are his "fans" when they win you guys are hypocrits ,you are either his fan or you are not , I want to see how many people remain Nadal fans if he continues to lose ...fans stick trough good and bad .

Anyways I have to go take my cat out of the microwave I will be right back .

Are u sure that Yeikey really retired? I think he will play... anyway I'm not afraid him... about Hillman, yes, he is good now, but if I will in good mental condiotions (I think last lost match and grand slam status is good motivation for me) I can beat him - let's see what will happen in RG SF :wink:



I JUST WOLD LIKE REMIND U, MY LAST GAME AGAINST HILLMAN WAS THE SAME SCORE YOUR,

AND IF HE BEAT ME, AFTER HE MUST PLAY AGAINST WILLPETER OR GROMBALI, THEN, WAIT A LITTLE MORE BEFORE TO SPEAK ABOUT SEMIFINAL.
IT'S MOST RECOMMENDED. :wink:

I don't think Federer finds his form until he goes deep in to a slam. And looking back people have mentioned loses to Djokovic and Murray etc. Fact is when the guy is on and is at the stage where it matters, he delivers more often than not.

Rafa VS Roger war is plain boring.

Both exceptional players but i honestly cant see Rafa playing many more years the stress he puts on his body.

There is no champions like Sampras or Federer.

Right. In fact, Federer has only lost GS finals to Nadal (1 Aussie, 3 RG and 1 Wimbly). And his record 20 straight SF in GS is something that won't be achieved until the end of days.
Ban Djokovic forever!

I said that Fed will win in straights. I never got the chance to post the scoreline though.

Too late for that now . . . I am just glad that the fellow won his 14th grand slam title at the place he desperately wanted to win, Roland Garros.
