Tennis anyone? (Wimbledon thread)

Damnation with faint praise. He's won one Slam (but none since 2003), three ATP Master's Series events (but none since 2004) and hasn't made the finals of any event this year. He hasn't been the same since he fired Brad Gilbert.

 

This one is over.

Nadal couldn't close out the second set, broken while serving at 5-4, loses the tie-breaker....DONE!

 

Will Nadal break out the stalling game now?

 

He seems to pull it out when he's feeling in control of things.
Not sure he feels like he's in control, even if he still might feel like he can win the match.

 

Federer breaks to 3-1 in the forth, can serve it out from here.

 

Federer just too good on grass. Nadal is too good on clay, but I think Federer wins the French before Nadal wins Wimbledon.

 

I'm impressed by how quickly Nadal has improved on grass. I'll go just the opposite of what Left_Coast said.
Federer might never win the French. Nadal can win Wimbledon (but not today)

 

Federer serving for the match ...again.. after a crap service game at 5-1

 

Nadal got a very nice draw this time. I'm interested to see how much better he'll get on grass before I declare him championship worthy at Wimbledon.

He has plenty of fight though, I'm hoping to see Round 3 at the U.S. Open unless Agassi makes another dream run.

 

An Agassi run in NY would be fun to see but Agassi in the final against either of this guys would be a horrible mismatch.

 

Andre made a respectable showing against Federer last year. You never know what's going to happen in Flushing around Labor Day.

 

Very true, Noles ... strange things happen, especially during night matches in Flushing
