The Fedal Basel Final: Federer v Nadal

[teddytennisfan]

ya -- rog just seems to have that teeny bit that he brings out from other players -

 

[teddytennisfan]

ya -- great shot from rog indeed.

Cracking shot by Fed, he looked dead an buried in that rally

 

[Billie]

Fed holds

 

[britbox]

 

[teddytennisfan]

great hold by rog.

 

[Billie]

Those couple of returns, Rafa should have done better....that is the reason Nole is so hard to beat...his return

 

[teddytennisfan]

my friend at work is gonna be in heaven today if he wins. hehe. i always tease her "my rafa beats your rogie" -- hehe...

 

[britbox]

Yeah, it's always been a tribal rivalry - not many people sit on the fence. It's one or the other. Who do you want to win Billie?

 

[teddytennisfan]

so true billie - the return of serve by nole is just a notch above everyone's and that's critical in their rivalries.

 

[Billie]

I don't have a horse in this race...I'd like Fed to win for BB and Rafa for Moxie....so won't cheer for either when they are both around ;-)

 

[Billie]

haha I read your mind BB!! ;-)

 

[britbox]

Ha ha.

 

[teddytennisfan]

i always like to watch roger's backhand - the way he changes direction like nothing in the world...

 

[Moxie]

I appreciate that, Billie.

 

[teddytennisfan]

wow- that's too much from rafa - the passing shot...

 

[britbox]

I love one handed backhands - Fed, Stan, Gasquet...

 

[Billie]

I cheered for both to meet in the final!

 

[Billie]

yeah...that DTL bh to save 1st match point yesterday from Richie was a beauty

 

[teddytennisfan]

i think one-handed backhanders from now on should always wear shirts that have no sleeves on the right...to show off their armpits..lol
