Federer/Nadal: Wimbeldon Redux

[JTWood]

Great match so far. Federer wins the first set in a tie-breaker, and they're on serve in the second.

Am I the only one that thinks Federer looks more energetic when he's not playing on clay? Every time I watch Federer and Nadal play on clay, Federer just seems like he's not as motivated.

New drinking game: Anytime Nadal picks his capri pants out of his butt, you take a drink.

You should be sloshed by the end of the 3rd game.

Love tennis, seems like Nadal hasn't been all that impressive as he's reached the finals this year. You can't have a bad set against Federer.

I'm loving this match. Federer's serve is downright nasty, but Nadal is giving him quite a challenge.

Why don't they break strings any more? Is the equipment just that much better than it use to be?

I remember Sampras breaking a lot of strings and having to switch rackets many times.

They each broke a string in the last set.

Federer takes the second tie-break. 2-1.

Really?

I didn't start watching until half-way thru because I just woke up, but it certainly doesn't seem like they break near as many as they use to.

3-0 Nadal in the 4th.

Federer gets squirrely with his forehand vollies at times.

[nebgib5]

can't wait for the fifth set.

Agreed. Hope it's a good one.
