I think you are both horrible in your rabid hatred of Nadal. Rafa is one of the best things to happen to tennis in 3 generations. You hate him because he's done so much damage to your Precious. There is no other reason. You outrageously claim that the world has been saved, as if tennis were the only thing that matters. It's not just superficial, it's insulting to the world and its problems. And it's not like I don't have a sense of humor, but you lot regularly claim that tennis and the world needs to be saved from Rafa. This is not thermo-nuclear war, or even a James Bond movie. It's only tennis. You should really get a grip on reality. It is patently obvious what you despise, and it's really not Rafa's tennis. It's all the smudges he's made on Roger's resume, and the fact that he's still in the hunt for the Majors.

Why are you crying so much? Didn't dull win RG and pick up around 5000 points? If anyone should be upset right now, it should be Fed who lost his pet slam in the most shocking and abominable way imaginable. We're still reeling from the defeat so take it easy.

As far as your outrage of calling dull what he is, Look we hate dull because he plays the ugliest tennis ever seen, worst cheater ever, grunts like a pig, has the worst tardbase ever who are pure gloryhunters and just want to see Fed lose. Nadull has literally zero redeeming qualities on court apart from his fighting spirit. If I want to see fighting spirit I'll take Ferret over dull any day because unlike dull, Ferret has no weapons and still fights till the last point and more importantly doesn't cheat.

The above is the last scream of a defeated troll. You can't see tennis champions for what they are but only for what you want them to be. Come back when you're over your hysteria and have something to say about actual tennis.

Ok. I don't consider Nadull to be a champion at all since he's a cheater. So please count me out of the
group that think he's great.
You're just bitter because dull lost a golden opportunity and possibly his last chance to catch Fed's slam record.

You've invented the notion that he's a cheater because it's the only answer as to why he's beaten your favorite. Otherwise, there is no "there, there." You and others often try to characterize me as "bitter." I'm not sure why I ever deserve that, but today, for example, I feel quite sanguine. It is what it is. Whereas you and Darth were talking suicide after Roger's loss. (That's not funny, btw. Talk about bitter, and over the top.) Wimbledon would have been a bonus for Rafa, and he did miss a great opportunity. But this is far from his last chance to catch and pass Roger. He proved it by going this far in the Slam that has challenged him the most in the last years.

I never count out Wafa but this was a great chance to close the gap. It's only going to get harder from here when the younger generation catch up, Slamrinka is gonna be back by the next 1 or two slams, fakervic could be in peak form by USO and Fed will also try to snag another one along the way.

Ofcourse with mowgli's luck anything is possible. For all you know Ralph may end up with 30 slams with 20 RGs with the way things are going.

Things change VERY quickly in tennis. I mean just look at fakervic. He was heading for retirementville after IW losing to Taro Daniels and now beat peakest of peak dull in a Wimbledon SF and now all of a sudden faker has become the favourite at all non-clay slams. Who knows how long this resurgence of dull will last? If this time his form falls, he could be back to 2015-2016 level and that's the end of his slam chase.

Way too early to say Nole will be favorite everywhere except clay. He still has a ways to go to get back to what he was. AO is playing much faster now too. I know you have hopes for this USO for Roger but it is now AO that is by far his best HC slam.

Mon, you are being ludicrous. To repeat the obvious. Sure Nadal is not a saint and sure he relies enormously on his physicality. Let's say you are right and he 'cheats'. That's100% ATP's fault.

But not a champion? What are you smoking? Did you see the game at 7-7 where Djokovic saved several break points? Imho, nobody on the tour could have snatched this match from Nadal except Djokovic. Certainly not Roger, seeing as how he folded like a cereal box in the QF, that too to KA.

Well I'm sure that Fed's not beating faker in a slam again given that his own level has fallen off a cliff. I would've said Fed's got a chance if he plays at AO 17 level again but let's face it he's not getting back that level again, the guy has declined too much physically.

As far as AO goes, I think AO 18 was his last one. He needed 5 sets against Cilic and that indicates he squeezed out his one last AO.
