I've been meaning to post on this, but haven't had the time. I didn't get to watch the match, but a friend video taped it for me, so I'll have more to talk about soon, but just thought I'd let everyone know that the perfect Federer got smoked by Nadal! This is the 6th time that Nadal has beat Federer, who is still ranked number one for the 124th week running (3rd longest EVER). This was Nadal's 60th straight victory on clay.
<br>Frank DeFord mentioned that Tiger Woods doesn't have the respect that he could because his competition is so far beneath him. Federer, on the other hand, has legitimate competition in Nadal, and therefore, has proven his right to be number 1. I don't think Nadal's speed is going to translate onto the grass at Wimbelton the same way Federer's or even Lleyton Hewitt's (my favorite) will, so I don't expect to see him in the finals there. What's fun about this all is that every time Nadal and Federer meet on clay, we get to see the greatest tennis player ever (perhaps) challenged by a true master of the clay court.
<br>I can't wait to watch the match and I'm really looking forward to Wimbelton!<br>Cheers!<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/13/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">J Ford</b> <<a href="mailto:privatejf32@hotmail.com">

<br>for his children. Bad part about that is that when he get angry at the<br>"manager", they tend to lose that business rather quickly and without notice<br>(i.e. Zumes). I'd be watching my back if I were you Roy....not even you are
