Resolve the conflict between your head and your heart.

I hope Federer would just surpass Sampras this year.

But my head says Federer . undecided

Has Nadal won at the US Open?

Anyways. .me I jus want the Sampras record equalled and then broken.
The sooner the better.

both the US and A opens are hard court surfaces. Nadal needs only win either of two to win slams on all surfaces.

hehehehe. . .

I have been reliably informed the US open is played on ''acrylic hard courts''
while the australian is played on straight up hard courts.  grin grin grin

Well. . let's just say, I don't like Nadal much. He has some kain shifty eyes  grin grin grin

Hmmm that game was a sizzla and if there is anything it showed the strength and endurance of Nadal once again that dude is simply a beast

As for the Finals no doubt Federer has the advantage but i would be very slow to write off Nadal he is just too young and hungry to be written off he can play all night if he has to and i won't be suprised if he is recovered in time for the finals

yep Nadal's enemies are already making their next excuse. When he won only on clay they called him a claycourter who would never do well on grass . . . he won on grass and they said it was because the grass had been slowed (i.e. green clay), if he wins on sunday what would they call the AO? Blue clay? grin

Re: Australian Open 2009 - Men by bagoma(f): 11:47am On Feb 01, 2009

Re: Australian Open 2009 - Men by bagoma(f): 11:55am On Feb 01, 2009
Not watching though. my nerves just cant handle it.
Want Nadal to win too badly!
So I will just wait and watch the replay later, that is if Nadal wins. cheesy
Re: Australian Open 2009 - Men by dayokanu(m): 11:57am On Feb 01, 2009
Too many unforced errors from Roger

He has more aces and forehand winners but the unforced errors are just to much.

I hope he(Federer) wins
