no surprises here. sucks for those who bought tickets.

 

[John Dunbar]

this is just disgusting. federer should just try pushing because he sure as fuck isn't hitting the court if he actually tried to go for something more.

 

[Diprosalic]

about time the dirt season is over.

 

[Niraj]

Fed really wasted this game here. If he had landed that volley at 0-30 he probably would've broken. Not that it matters really

 

[tycoonheart]

That will be Fed's best chance all match.

A turkey at the bakery. Fowl mud pie served.

poor Fed :| this can't be the best French Open prep ever

 

[MIMIC]

Bagel still on. 5 games to go =p

 

[John Dunbar]

poor Fed :| this can't be the best French Open prep ever

federer's just lulling nadal into a false sense of security to pounce on him at roland garros.

 

[Deadman]

Maybe he can pretend to be hurt like Murray so he can skip the French and just go play on grass

 

[Niraj]

poor Fed :| this can't be the best French Open prep ever

And sadly this is the first final he's made all year I think. He's pretty much gotta hope Djokovic takes out Nadal. If Nadal's on his half, semis then see ya.

Bagel still on. 5 games to go =p

Why would anyone actively want to see that? It's so boring.

The result (Nadal def. Federer) was NID as soon as Djokovic was beaten. Makes things more interesting

because the pain will be over quicker.

So it's MORE interesting when one guy gets his ass stomped? :/ if you say so

 

[darkwing]

how the heck did Fed arrive in the Finals playing like this

 

[miserable]

Ask those who a couple of days ago were hoping Nadal would get bagel'd.

Well I also don't like Federer so there's that

 

[szaromir]

Maybe he can pretend to be hurt like Murray so he can skip the French and just go play on grass

Why would he do that? Maybe they'll throw Gulbis in Nadal's section again and this time he won't choke, leaving the draw wide open for the rest of the field?

He's Federer.

 

[zero_suit]

how the heck did Fed arrive in the Finals playing like this

What noteworthy opponents did he have?

 

[darkwing]

What noteworthy opponents did he have?

Nadal's shadow

 

[MIMIC]

how the heck did Fed arrive in the Finals playing like this

He didn't play a single seeded player all the way to the finals.

 

[John Dunbar]

no bagel. this is as good as a win for fed. ready for the french.

 

[MIMIC]

lol wow

 

[Niraj]

Easy draw.

Ask those who a couple of days ago were hoping Nadal would get bagel'd.

This is just me personally, but if I'm watching a match, I don't like it, regardless of who's playing. Like Cincinnati last year, the first set of the final was super lame, even though it was in Fed's favor. Sometimes if a player gets bageled by somebody unexpected I'll laugh, but I'd never want it to happen.

Well I also don't like Federer so there's that

At least the truth comes out you'll miss him when he's gone.

 

[Sax Russel]

Wonder how bad Madrid and this will shit in his head. End of the QF+ streak at RG!?

 

[tycoonheart]

how the heck did Fed arrive in the Finals playing like this

Potito Starace
Gilles Simon
Jerzy Janowicz
Benoit Paire


lol

 

[Nemo]

Holy shit, figured it was going to be a beatdown, but this

edit, tuning in right now please tell me he's not like this the whole match...

 

[Niraj]

Wonder how bad Madrid and this will shit in his head. End of the QF+ streak at RG!?

I don't think this will affect him at all honestly. It's not like this is the first time he's gotten stomped in the clay season.

 

[Sax Russel]

Haha wow. Dat Nadal.

 

[tycoonheart]

OH SHIT! The comeback!

 

[Niraj]

OH SHIT! The comeback!

*loses next 5 points*

 

[Nemo]

This mofo... Only now he starts winging it. Love to see one handed backhands from inside the court

 

[Niraj]

Pop bottles Fed fans! Wooooooo!

 

[Sax Russel]

"Oh yeah, THIS is what I was supposed to do."

Says Fed 14 games too late.

 

[MIMIC]

*comes back from shower*

They're still playing? @_@

 

[tycoonheart]

*comes back from shower*

They're still playing? @_@

lol, not for long.

 

[Niraj]

*comes back from shower*

They're still playing? @_@

Not much longer

 

[Nemo]

Toni looked happy as shit haha, this must've been a big boost mentally

 

[Frost_Ace]

Roger

 

[Niraj]

Really impressive showing from Nadal since he's come back. That's what, 8 finals in a row, 6 wins?

 

[Saty]

Nadal learned Italian in his time off?

 

[RedAssedApe]

I blame Fed's haircut.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

what a beat down, fed must be feeling really bad right now

 

[szaromir]

what a beat down, fed must be feeling really bad right now

Not as bad as after 2008 RG final.

 

[Nemo]

Not as bad as after 2008 RG final.

That was so bad I'm sure even Nadal forgot about it

 

[trineo_feo]

lol

Serena made such a mess of Azerenka. She better win the French.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Serena came into the French open last year just as hot as she will be this year, and she was bounced in the first round, lol. The Williams sisters have combined for 1 French Open title in their careers.
