2017 RG Final: Wawrinka vs Nadal

[Shivashish Sarkar]

I frankly don't care very much about Roger winning more slams. I mean he's proven himself again. But losing to Nadal will be bitter still.

 

[kskate2]

no doubt GG

Yes El Dude. Roger was a consistent finalist on clay in 2008, and Novak was a beast throughout the clay season (only lost to Federer and Nadal and won Rome). And you add guys like Davydenko, Ferrer and the rest and it's definitely tougher

 

[El Dude]

At Monte Carlo 2008, he beat Ferrer, Davydenko, Federer...even an old Ferrero....at Barcelona Ferrer....at Rome he lost to Ferrero...at Hamburg he beat Murray, Moya, Djokovic, Federer...at Roland Garros Djokovic and Federer....overall I'd say the competition was quite a bit higher in 2008

 

[brokenshoelace]

Indeed El Dude

 

[Shivashish Sarkar]

Stan is so strong in defeat.

Magnus Norman is participating in an Ironman Triathlon next month?

 

[brokenshoelace]

2008 was probably the highest level of competition on tour in recent memory. Because the young guns rose (Novak, Murray and Del Potro who had great results in the summer), and the older guys were still all top 10 players

Well Shi, I think it's harder when the match is closer...writing was on the wall after first set for him

 

[Shivashish Sarkar]

Yeah mate.

 

[golds girl]
