@Kezzy 24 "and the next record for you to break: Dreaming than Joseph himself" Federer is gonna have it difficult getting additional grand slam. . . .he should try matching/surpassing Nadal's ATP masters record cos the crop of guys coming up show no respect. Nadal with 11slams at his age can still go for another 5years (20 slams) and is the likely clear choice to break it cos Novak is still far down the slam chain, its not impossible for Nadal to score 8/20 of the slams given newer players and drop in form in the next 5years with more French Open slams guaranteed! . . . .i'm dreaming on already! |

Nadal has stopped 2 number 1s' from getting the almighty Slam Dunk in the open era. Stopped federer on this court 3 times in the finals when Fed could have had the whole 4 slams as he was literally ruling other surfaces and now Novak. . . .i'm sure federer rooted for his tennis nemesis - Nadal to win as he wont want that record he attempted thrice and failed to be broken on 1st try by Novak. . . . |

I was actually tipping Djokovic to win the french Open. I guess he has to wait for Wimbledon. |
Re: Official French Open ( Rolland Garros ) 2012 Thread by omodoagba(m): 2:22pm On Jun 11, 2012 |
Jonathan Overend,BBC Sport "The momentum had gone for Djokovic, nobody wins eight games in a row against Nadal, least of all on clay, but Djokovic did. However, the rain got in his way and Nadal got it together today." |

fredoooooo: You should know federer could be a sore loser atimes. . . .though i root Nadal but i ddnt expect him to say that then. Anyways, we're climbing the slam ladder - Federer 16 Sampras 14 (never won at roland garros) Emerson 12 Borg 11 Laver 11 Nadal 11 At the strength he's showing xcept for injuries, the slam record is very very feasible. . . .5 years project! Currently holds the record for 21 ATP 1000 masters. . . .with more still looming. By time this chap retires, there'l be many records set to be chased! |

if its on clay, hu else brings perfection?? UP NADAL RAFAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Re: Official French Open ( Rolland Garros ) 2012 Thread by Santino1(m): 2:48pm On Jun 11, 2012 |
coolguyz: where did you and fredoooo get the idea that Fed won in 09 because Rafa was injured? get your facts right, Rafa was thoroughly beaten by Soderling who was having the greatest run of his life then, making it to his first slam final before losing to Fed. Regarding the bolded, how many ATP 1000 is played on grass? None.....so give Fed a break, he is just one behind Rafa. |

Santino1: U sure? Not sure if Federer will cross that 16 mark o. We'll see. Santino, U based in Zurich right? I visited St Gallen last August/September from the UK then. I remember I asked you briefly about Zurich then in the Aussie open thread. I am back in Nigeria now. Had plans of doing an Msc in ETHZ sometime, but i had to shelf the plan due to family reasons and stuff. Might just be interested again next year. U have an email I can reach you with? should have a few questions if its ok with you. |
Re: Official French Open ( Rolland Garros ) 2012 Thread by fredoooooo: 2:57pm On Jun 11, 2012 |
Santino1: anytime you want |
Re: Official French Open ( Rolland Garros ) 2012 Thread by fredoooooo: 2:58pm On Jun 11, 2012 |
Santino1: santino rafa did not participate in the tournament that year , he was injured before it started . the semi final was between soderling and fernando gonzalez |
Re: Official French Open ( Rolland Garros ) 2012 Thread by Santino1(m): 3:09pm On Jun 11, 2012 |
mystikal: Just the same way I'm not sure Nadal will cross the 11 mark.. yeah, I remeber someone once asked me, didn't know it was you. well, your choice of ETHZ is great but may I know what you are planning to do because if it oil and gas related, ETHZ is the last place you wanna be. just let me know whenever you plan to as I have ''top level'' info on ETHZ and can advise you on how to go about it. I'm following you now, you can PM if you want as I do no fancy the idea of revealing my contact details here. fredoooooo: will PM you with details when I'm back in Zurich.. fredoooooo: He did....lost to Robin in the fourth round.. I think he won in four sets though I can't recall vividly. |

Re: Official French Open ( Rolland Garros ) 2012 Thread by coolguyz(m): 3:28pm On Jun 11, 2012 |
Santino1: He lost to Soderling in the 4th round. Nadal was very humble in that he should have retired as he had a bad knee injury. . . .dont tell me you've forgotten his knee troubles of 2009 that started from the Aussie opens and the family issues he had then as his parents were about having a divorce. Its no excuse though, he lost it but to date it is on record that Federer has lost 4 french opens final to a single person - nadal! A fit nadal at 2009 fench opens would also have made the usual meat of fed. . . its a FACT! |
