I hated Soderling for that win, but come on, the guy deserve some honory
medal/cup or something for what he did that day, his achievement is
becoming more and more significant as years past by
Just lost to Wawrinka in Australia and we are back to the “injury”
bullshit. If anyone can show me ONE time when Nadal got injured when he was
WINNING a match we will debate. Every “injury” has appeared when he lost
matches he thought he was going to win…Soderling, Rosol, Wawrinka…
Let’s be honest everyone enjoys supporting the underdog.
Robin Soderling defeating Rafael Nadal at the French Open is an upset that
will be remembered for years to come. Incidentally that loss is Nadal’s
only defeat at the Roland Garros.
your becker and mcenroe description should swap with each other. plus, you
forgot to consider that Borg only palyed the australian once, in fact, few
players cared for the AO back in his time. And connors and wilander won on
all surfaces in grand slams, when the AO and USO were still played on more
than hardcourt. other than that, you’re pretty much right if you wanna
argue federer is the greatest
@cj397 yes, I know that, very much so. however, I do think that “shit
happens” is used to defend certain players and completely disregarded when
it comes to others.
LOL..Come on don’t be so arrogant..!!Federer is the King nadal may be the
Prince lol..why its so hard for you to accept it..!!..!!he Showed us that
he is a legend he broke all the Records..so DEAL WITH IT!!
None of that qualifies as “injury”, real or invented. WIbmy 08 and AO 09
were 5 hour 5 set matches, hardly considered “whippings” (remember Delpo
triple 6-2 vs Nadal at USO or Murray’s two set and 3-0 advantage?)somewhat
different…. look up the youtube interview with Federer after his loss at
Wimby. “I had some chances but Rafa served too well”…. hardly an excuse..
AO? “I gave the match away” is a criticism of his own playing, not an
injury excuse. Even cruyng he gave full credit to Nadal…
You do realize these guys are human like the rest of us. They’re not
robots, Everyone in tennis history has had a bad day, in horrible timing,
and terrible matches. shit happens.

es muy dificil conseguir 5 titulos consecutivos en los GS ,,lastima q no lo
consiguio pero ya se le veia a Nadal q no llegaba a la final ,,lo de
repetir wimbledon lo tiene tambien muy dificil ,,,los otros tenistas le van
a jugar de igual a igual ,,,,igual q a Federer y es ahi donde tiene q salir
lo gran tenista q es ,,hay varios ya asomandose ,,
@insaneeaglesfanatic Are you saying that Nadal shouldnt say that? He DID
lose the match because of injuries, another thing injuries did is degrade
his confidence causing him to never play aggresively as his usual self And
he also said that “he wasnt playing well”even though i never heard that it
was because of his injuries, I give the point about not giving soderling
any credit but hey, you were going to try and win your best GS again and
you lost, he was tired and frustrated…
Borg didn’t win shit outside of Paris and London Becker didn’t win in Paris
or the Australian Connors never won in Paris,NEVER made 1 finals Mats
Wilander never even made a seminfial at Wimbledon Edberg never won in Paris
McEnroe never won in Paris either Chang didn’t win anything else but 1 slam
in Paris no Wimbledon or USO for Kafelnikov your boy Pete was never a
factor in the French capital because he NEVER made the finals! so your post
is stupid to say the least!

Lol. Comment from jumba146: “Poor Rafa. Was hoping he would win French open
5 times in a row like Federer did both in Wimbledon and US Open. Sad day.”
Five years later-Nadal takes fifth RG in a row. What a legend! Vamos
Rafa!!!

@timafi Borg played at a time when only a few players bothered to play the
Australian Open. Besides back then that Grand Slam took place in december.

Nadal attitude was respectful. Also, he did not say that the ONLY reason he
lost was because of his injuries.

6 Wimbledon wins for Federer to 1 for Nadal as much as Nadal dominates on
clay;Federer owns the grass!
