drink  , I was down throughout yesterday because Nadal lost, he was so close. I can still remember those missed opportunities to break Federer in the final set. It was just sad. He is only 21. He will win it at some stage of his career thats for sure. |

u r right fola, though he lost, i truly enjoyed d game and real proud of Rafa  comom, dino, at least we were not expecting such display on grass from him naw we can take solace in that  still can't take anything away from Fedex |

Don't thnk fed will make 14 g-slams, d opposition's closin in fast. . . Baghdatis & djoko are a sure threat; youzny ain't a bad prospect & d latinos are beginnin 2 get a grip on grass.
Bottom line, d fear of king fed's reduced some. . .

Totally agree with Ruddie. 14 grandslams is a far cry away considering the level of tennis the oposition is paying. but we never, u need to take it 1 grandslam at a time Init?

He has 11 thats 3 left for him, do you guys seriously think he won't win 3 more between now and like 5 years from now at the earliest, don't forget he's still 25.

I am pretty sure he is going to win 14 and surpass it as well. Unlike you guys i don't think he is as great as you say he is. In another era he wouldn't win five wimbledons. I don't know what is wrong with the players on grass now playing from the baseline. If Edberg or Becker were still around, or Ivanisevic might have had more than the one. The grass is still thesame and the serve and volley is still most suited for it.

if all the greats played in the same era, none of them would have won that many grand slams. rather the spoils would have been shared.
everyone has his time. just like Borris Becker, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, John Nwcombe etc all had there days, this is Roger Federer's time. three more grand slams are still very much possible for him.
if he does get it, this will not be due to Luck

king Fed might make 14 eventually but surpass that by a margin, i have my doubts - my reasons, the French and just concluded Brit Open have taken away a lot of the psychological edge the swiss had in the recent past. some of the very best tennis we saw in this tourneys didn't come from him + the clay court specialists are upping their game on grass but the grass guys don't seem to be showing the same appetite for mastering clay and that could be very important in the long run + there's always the Diminishing Returns factor!

as long as clay players continue to play from the baseline, they wont win nothing
grass is strictly serve and volley
so much so that Sampras is considering coming back
tell me how many clay courters will beat him including Nadal
