Has Rafa ever cried after a final?

Should do now. Will start everyone off.

Was just going to say that. Everyone put money on Nadal at the French.

Spoiled by scheduling for me a little though. If Federer had been the one with a day less to prepare there's no way he'd have won that match.



So you wanted it to be decided by fitness? Nadal is 5 years younger than Roger, think he can handle it!

No, just by a level playing field.
Just highlights if the roles were reversed & the guy 5 years older had a day less it'd have been an even greater disadvantage to him.

Djoker is lucky to be playing in an era where the greats are on a decline.

No offence to Murray but if he can be No 1, then this era is pretty shit....

Mad respect for both players, used to dislike Rafa for obvious reasons (camp Fed) but over time just grown to love the guy for his talent and his attitude. You can't hate a player that great even if he is your boy's nemesis.

You can see how much respect they have for each other which is admirable as well, must be tough especially in the moment after the match to be so calm and respectful. Pair of them are just class :clap:

Still can't believe that match.

Federer's groundstrokes were so decisive and penetrating, especially his backhand.

Some of the winners he hit in the 5th set were absurd.

The GOAT debates on both the men and women sides are officially over.

Rafa will always be a God, too. There's never been a better fighter.
