Not right now Perhaps tomorrow I'll be more nervous? But I cant see anyone else holding up that trophy this year.

People are too quick to write Roger off ( not necessarily anyone here, but just in general) since the FO loss. I think members of the media especially are basing their comments solely on the results of the FO 08 score line...which is a big mistake when it comes to Grass.

I still do not see a 5 setter..I'll go with straight sets win for Roger. OR 4 sets, with Nadal winning a TB to take a set. But I'm leaning more towards 3 sets..

I think if anyone's writing Roger off is because they want to see it happen, seriously crave for it. Didn't he like, not lose a single set this tournament? That's pretty scary man

He hasnt dropped a set on grass yet this season He won Halle without dropping, and so far, hasnt dropped at Wimby.

And he's only been broken..once I think? Maybe twice, but not in the same match..I think. Could be wrong about that.


I think the only thing that can really affect me tomorrow is the weather..I expect atleast 1 rain delay..

FO has nothing to do w/ his other matches and the other Grand Slams. I pretty much expect him to lose the FO every year and win everything else.

I think Roger has Nadal tomorrow, but he'll give him a good match, if nothing else.

Well I'm very realistic about Rafa's chances, I know he's the underdog and whatnot in this one, but the guy *can* play on grass and I believe he dropped only 3 sets this grass season (was quite some more last year), which isn't an awful lot either. All I'm saying is that he's a great player too, but yeah of course Fed is the favourite here. Just not 'by far' imo.

Watch him lose 6-0 6-0 6-0 now.

Hopefully not. I'd cry.

Nadal takes the opening set 6-4. A few too many unforced errors for Federer, especially given that his opponent had hardly any. Federer did seem to be playing his best tennis at the end of the set, though, so I'm kind of expecting him to make a little run here.

Oh boy finally FF is back!!!
I got back from the airport when it was 1-4 against Rafa and I thought for sure this game will be a 5 setter, but he did it! What an amazing set this turned out to be for him so Rafa now 2-0, I doubt this'll take 5 sets anymore. Go on Rafa, win this!!!

Man, I never would have thought Federer would lose five straight games in that situation (down a set , up 4-1). Roger can come back if he can start to convert some of these break points, but right now it's hard to see him doing that.
