Well tbh that was one of the boring semi finals ever.... something bad happened in Wimbledon this year with so many men and women top players out in early stages.

And Safin finds a day to totally go mental, even tho he always take it light hearted... lol anyone seen the challenges where he went to sit and rest a bit.. or the one earlier where he winked and Federer laughed because the ball was so obviosuly in.

Yeah I wanted Safin to play a bit better its going to be good Nadal vs Federer but I just hope it isn't a Nadal win because I will be so very angry!

No we want Nadal to win. He is overall a much better tennis player than Federer hence why Nadal has beaten him more times on head to head.

Nadal is a much better overall tennis player?! Why exactly would you say that... just because Nadal has won more of their head to head's doesn't imply that. Most of their matches have been on clay, where I agree Nadal is better. But there is grass and hard court, where Federer is better.

3 surfaces in tennis, Federer is better on two of them. Ergo, in my books he is the better overall player.

Anyway, I'd like to see some new records set. I'm sure there will come a day when Nadal will be #1 but I'm hoping not before Federer gets some nice records set.

I disagree. It will be long before Federer loses his #1 place. When he does lose it, it may not even be Nadal who takes over. What about Djokovic or someone else?

I agree though that Federer is a overall better player!

Nadal is taking this, its a mental thing with Federer he knows deep down that Nadal has an answer for everything he throws at him, maybe Federer needs to take time out to re-evaluate his game, Nadal maybe be amazing he's got a long way to go until he can be called the best imo.

This has to be one of the best matches in recent history. Not since the Borg has tennis been this intense.

Federer is such an elegant player, he deserves this win. He shows that you don't just need power to be a great player. Nadal is like the Williams sisters in having more power than technique. His technique has improved a lot since last year, though.

it's not raining here at the moment (10mins walk from the tennis) but who knows how long it'll hold out....

I always thought they had a roof on centre court, so lets use it!

They're in the process of adding one, it's not complete yet.

I would rather have a rain delay than people collapsing from heat at the Aussie open.

:p I remember hearing they were thinking about moving the Aus Open to a couple moths later around March instead of in the peak of the Australian summer late January

I saw a small segment on a new one they'll have online for next year that looked kinda cool. So this will be the last year of shithouse English weather ruining it :p

Would prefer Nadal as it'd make a nice change, but I don't really mind if Federer wins. Both are playing phenomenally and both deserve to win, IMO.

Ive found my heart pulling me for Federer. Like someone else said wouldnt mind him putting down a few long lasting records but would be more than happy for Nadal to do it.

anyway we're going again now so good watching.

It was a great game. It seemed like Federer was getting tired, and the darkness made it very hard to see the ball. Very difficult conditions, so both players deserve immense respect for producing such an amazing game.

Well done to Nadal - he's wanted it for a long time. Federer has proven to those that wrote him off early that he's still got it in him to take the game down to the wire. It was a very even game.

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
