The Fedal Basel Final: Federer v Nadal

[calitennis127]

True

 

[teddytennisfan]

i mean we can talk all day about who has better this and that -- but that's why we say ''mental game" is part of tennis.

 

[Billie]

And Fed needs to sustain the pressure on his own BH....everybody knows what Rafa will try to do most of the time

 

[teddytennisfan]

and probably every player has a rival that just gives him or her the fits.

 

[calitennis127]

Right, so if someone looks like they need a psychiatrist on the court, I will say it.

 

[britbox]

Great return. Need more of.

 

[teddytennisfan]

roger's turn to keep ahead.

 

[britbox]

The longer Nadal hangs in this match, the more you fancy him to win it.

 

[calitennis127]

What a volley

 

[Billie]

I've always felt that for some reason Rafa had mental edge over Federer from the beginning

 

[teddytennisfan]

but today -- rafa will have to up his fight even more .

 

[Billie]

wow what a rally and point

 

[calitennis127]

Fed botched that point entirely

 

[teddytennisfan]

oh my that weak first volley from rogie cost him.

 

[britbox]

Stupid... stupid shot from Federer... Trying to be too cute.

 

[Billie]

there Nadal returns the favor ;-)

 

[calitennis127]

Bold move there to serve and volley, but it worked.

 

[teddytennisfan]

well - BB - roger is cute. lol and so is rafa. ok - they're even now.

 

[teddytennisfan]

40-30

 

[teddytennisfan]

5-4 roger just needs a break to win!
