Federer win what a great win. By far from his best and he can still beat the number 2 at his best. I can't see him losing on grass for a long time.

cant agree with that...they both played very well and it was federers turn this time...still got a losing record to rafa though

Well I am not going to argue with your point because we all have our own opinions. Nadal played as well as he could have and still couldn't win. I think Federer was really off his game in the 2nd 3rd and 4th set. But did it when it mattered and that makes a great Champion. Well done Federer.

fair enough points...i dont think nadal played as well as he could (those 2 games in the final set where he had federer at 15-40 spring to mind as do the 2 tie breaks) but federer stepped up when it really mattered and, as you say, that's the sign of a true champion...a bit like rafa did in the last 2 french open finals

I think both players played as well as they could.

Brilliant Brilliant Federer!
After that fourth set many would have crumbled but he drag himself back and at 2 - 2 onwards played truly Champion tennis and is in my opinion the Greatest Tennis Player of All.
I think he will beat Nadal at Roland Garros next year to seal the Slam.

Hawk eye is it reliable? That ball was out, Federer had a very good case.

True but if it wasn't accurate then it may not have been accurate at other matches. It may have affected the outcome of certain matches

Very good hope he can win it.
