Australian Open Final: Rafael Nadal (9) v Roger Federer (17)

[Moxie]

Nice hold.

 

[DarthFed]

First set still means more for Roger. No way he wins the match without it

 

[Moxie]

Hey, Twisted.

 

[DarthFed]

Hi

 

[mrzz]

good game there from Federer

 

[mrzz]

he really needs to keep them coming

 

[Federberg]

It's strange, I'm pretty sure Dimi hits harder than Roger, but I get the feeling that Roger's forehands are moving thru the court with more venom than his did

 

[Vince Evert]

law of averages should favour Roger. He's lost three times to rafa at the australian. He's been runners up in the Slams last three times to Djoko. He's too good a champion to keep falling short. Tonites he's nite.

 

[Moxie]

Keep telling yourself it works that way RZ.

 

[Vince Evert]

Me and also everyone here.

 

[DarthFed]

ROS from Roger has always been an overlooked aspect as to why Rafa always beats him

 

[britbox]

Nice and patient Roger. Great stuff

 

[Moxie]

Rafa not doing anything special yet.

 

[DarthFed]

He's hitting very well so far

 

[Federberg]

wow

 

[britbox]

Yes. 2 Bps.

 

[Moxie]

Great point Roger.

 

[mrzz]

YES!

 

[DarthFed]

Damn, he gave Nadal a taste of his own medicine there

 

[Vince Evert]

YES !
