Brodel Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 This years Wimbledon seems to have passed really quickly, I live in Wimbledon so it's pretty fun when it starts and you get all the other side events going on and loads of new people around, but I guess it was overshadowed by the World Cup this time.

He did get the plate, he didn't carry it around all the time, but he got one. Hopefully Federer does win it all in the future. I don't know why, I just have a feeling that he isn't trying to develop his abilities more, but if he were to do so, he'd crush anyone (including Nadal)... he just seems relatively satisfied as is. I know Federer is great right now, but he can be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy07 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Nadal owns him on any other surface its just a matter of time until Nadal masters the grass :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathray Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Nadal owns him on any other surface its just a matter of time until Nadal masters the grass :D My guess is that by the time Nadal masters the grass, Federer masters the clay. Right now I think it's purely mental for Federer against Nadal, even he admitted it. When he's playing Nadal, he's just not thinking straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayrider Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 What a surprise!! Federer wins again! Congrats to him though. I watched parts of it because it was on at the same time as the World Cup. Wasn't too much of an interesting game. I thought Nadal would do better, especially in the first set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I have not really watched much of Wimbledon this year, due to the World Cup being on at like the same time (they should of changed the dates). But I did watch the final and it was quite a good game, Federer battered Nadal in the first set, but then Nadal started to play better and get more confidence. In the end I am glad Federer won, and I hope he wins next year's title as well to get his fifth title in a row. Nadal is undoubtably going to be a class player in the future though. Roger Federer v Rafael Nadal for many years to come :yes:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambience Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The 3rd set really showed what Nadal was made of, and as this was my first time watching him play a serious opponent, I'm impressed by the level of maturity and the ability he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geek_rohit Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 That's it! Federer rules in Grass! Nadal rules in Clay! C'mon man a 6-0 first set win!!! Nadal did fight back though. Took the game to two consecutive tie breakers. But in the end FedEx took his fourth consecutive Wimbledon title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
