Title: Roger Reduces Rafa Run to Rubble!

:yahoo:
Clay court tennis desperately needed this - and so did Federer!
I'm hearing Rafa was tiring towards the end as Fed wiped the floor with him, is this true and if so it is going to be a big blow for the French...

i haven't seen todays match but i do have seen a tired Nadal yesterday. He could have lost to Hewitt if he wouldn't have made those service winners in the final game.
Nevertheless i never would have put any money on this outcome; can you imagine Rafa wins 2 final sets in 6-2 6-0 against Federer on grass?
:tsk:

I'm just really happy that the run is ended - what is the betting that Rafa ends federer's grass court run?

I don't know if that bet is on, but Rafa went from 1/3 to 1/2 after yesterdays final to win RG. And Roger is still at 1/3 to win Wimbledon (2/5 last year at this stage)
BTW; Roger is at 2/1 to win RG while Rafa is at 7/1 to win Wimbers. So who's the master of the surfaces here? :D

I don't think Nadal was tired.He did some incredibly retreiving during the whole match,but Rog was in the zone and there was no stopping him. :bow:

And from what i've heard it sounds like he totally committed to his shots, which is what he should always do!
