Yeah Fed getting the momentum going into Wimbledon, sucks. If he wasn’t with such a bad attitude towards other players, so full of his damn self, so conceited, its a shame that such a great player is sooo arrogant! If he wins this and I predict he will, the odds are against Soderling, all the hypes gonna drive me mad after wards. Its enough people commenting on how that Rafa’s knees were going to crumble sometime it had to happen etc.. Btw I disagree with dutchgirl, if Rafa had have gotten to the final his form would have been awsome and I really think he would have gotten his 5th, although it would have been a tougher match than last year for sure, one forgets Feds route to the final, 2-0 down against Haas, he even struggled against Henri-mathieu, and then Del potro managed to take him to five also. This consistent comebacks however will give him extra belief though going into the final and I don’t think the Sod will have a chance.

I want Fed to win, I’m afraid. With the proviso that he never wins another slam. Given how much he has struggled to get through the draw here, despite meeting only one top ten player, I think that’s not unlikely. I just can’t get behind Soderling under any circumstances. The GOAT talk doesn’t bother me or interest me – I will always prefer Rafa to Fed and Agassi to Sampras regardless of all that nonsense.

I agree with miri that a fake ass is much worse than being an ass and make no secret about it. If there’s one thing I hate the most, it’s people who are fakes. That doesn’t mean I appreciate his kind of behaving.

But, if Federer were to win this, it could mean he’s playing at his best or at least better at this point in time and therefore just as well might have beaten Rafa if he’d been his opponent.
So, for me it’s not necessary that Soderling wins in order to give Rafa’s loss that kind of meaning. After all, he (Sod) has been able to reach the final in an impressive way.
Besides that, I think if Federer were to win this, it has actually not so much to do with Rafa. If Rafa is good enough, he will win more Slams, will keep or regain the #1 spot, and otherwise he won’t. Okay, Fed gets another record, but is that bad for Rafa? I don’t think so. It could even be that Rafa finds new motivation in it.

It never crossed my mind to actually perform this kind of acts. In that way I consider myself different from the French crowd. I’ll be a sport as well, applauding for whoever is performing good.
But I’m only human too, and can’t help but thinking of it sometimes.

Thinking about the fact that the last couple of years Fed and Rafa has shared the Grand Slam…(except last years AO)… coz of which I dont want another player to get a Grand Slam…(mght sound crazy but I want that record to keep goin… I dont want nebody else to win a GS…not netime soon) But I also dont want Fed to be GOAT… definitely not this year when he has had his worst run… and I dont knw wat will happen if Soldering wins a slam… God! and Rafa going into French Open next year with Soldering as the defending Champion… and Grand slam final is a totally different ball game… Soldering has never played a Grand Slam final and as Rog said he doesnt knw wat a slam final is… if Sod’s mind is the same as how it looks outside he is not goin 2 care a damn abt whether its a GS final or not… and wud go for his shots… If he does that Fed doesnt really stand a chance… But is dat goin 2 happen… I doubt it… I think Fed is getting it this time… Very unfortunate and depressing tho…

No need to go away…at least, not in my book. I agree completely.

I find it interesting to read a lot of people’s comments about how rude and arrogant the French crowd is, and then in their next post go on to suggest for others to be rude and arrogant to players, when in the crowd.

Whaa?!

Sorry, I had to say it.

OK, I will go away now. Maybe I’ll join natch in her Rafa cove on Mallorca. ;)
