"I've felt better. God, it's killing me "

Federer on defeat

"Just remember you're a great champion and you're one of the best in history and for sure you're going to match Sampras "

Nadal to Federer

What does that say about nadal?

I really felt for Federer at the end of that game. He was emotionally and physically drained. He will have it hard to get over that defeat and I think we may have seen his best, not sure that he has not been - finally - psychologically battered into submission by Nadal.

All respect to him and to Nadal. Rafa is a worthy recipient of the baton but I am not sure he will hold on to it for as long as Federer. There are a few young turks coming through who will put him under real ressure in the next year. IMHO of course.

Well i would have to disagree with you

Fed expect himself too beat rafa at his fave tourney with out breaking a sweat!

but in nadal he found someone who just wouldn't give up

Err, not sure what you are disagreeing about matey. Have re-read my post and I believe you have only confirmed what I wrote.

**lfc4life** · 4 February, 2009, 11:12

You were saying rafa wasn't good enough to stay at the top!!!

And i said he was

Well Done Nadal....
