MattM4 0 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 He's not too bad that Federer. 6-0 in the first set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil 0 Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Deserved win for Federer and a victory for all-round play over Nadal's baseline tennis - although I had hoped to see Federer attack the net more. Nadal seems a nice lad off the court, but I can't stand his over-the-top celebrations and mind games. Tennis' version of Cristiano Ronaldo tbh.

The Fish 8946 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 have to say wimbledon totally passed me by again, finding it harder and harder to get interested in it. the ability and competition remains at a high standard, but I just don't care any more.

Gemmill 34161 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 When Big Nads won the third set I thought it might have been game on, but the dullard Federer snuffed the challenge out sharpish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Federer's fault that he's the best player by far. If anyone is boring to watch, it's Nadal - all graft and no craft.

Guest alex Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Thought it was an excellent final. The standard of play was fantastic at times. It would be great if Nadal could continue to develop as an all court player to challenge Federer's supremacy. Glad Federer won though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 It's a shame when someone is so good that it does become boring. Like Sampras before him, Federer is so good on the grass that it looks effortless and boring at times. We need a McEnroe-Borg rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I wanted Federer to lose to mix things up a bit, but I'm glad Nadal lost in the end, the last thing tennis needs is another baseline neanderthal. Gutted that bloke beat Henin in the ladies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is more than can be said for Mauresmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 It was a good final I thought. Nice to see Mauresmo win because of her being so good at the net and serve volleying a bit. I quite like both players though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a soft spot for Henin, hopefully she'll win it next year to complete her collection of slams. EDIT: I thought she was pretty good at the net too, it was her baseline stuff that let her down.
