I'm pretty sure he means that Nadal has been able to not only collect all 4 majors, but also has the Olympic gold medal too in Singles, which Federer does not.

He's right though.. Federer didn't win all grand slams.. only AO, Wimbledon, US and RG


That is all Grand Slams. The Olympic Games does not count as a Grand Slam itself.

But fine I get your point, yet Federer did win gold in doubles ;)

lolwat. AO is typically the lamest open. Players are usually rusty from the "offseason".

I don't even care for the rest of the tournament from now on btw.

It's my least favourite GS though, because the first couple of rounds are played at midnight here, and I don't really have a special feeling with it like Wimbledon or RG

Translation for surprises: boring finals

:/

Pretty much this.

Nothing beats RG. I watch EVERY match they show on tv basically, the schedule fits perfect and it's so much funnier to watch than any other slam imo because it's much longer balls and usually more variation.

After watching RG non stop for two weeks I'm usually too tired to watch Wimbledon so I only watch quarters, semis and the final, except there's some must-see match up in the earlier rounds.

You don't even know how bored I am with the AO now.. I won't even watch any more matches :(

What is a life without Roger? No life!

The thing with Nadal-Federer finals is not only the amazing rallies, but also the fact that so many know them and root for one of them, you're either a Nadal fan or a Federer fan, and if your player doesn't win you get pissed. Now let's say Murray and Djokovic plays the final, I will root for Djokovic but even if Murray wins it's not like I care that much.
