Roger, you can do it!

Federer up a break, 3-0, in the first set.

I like both these guys, but I'm finding myself pulling for Federer.

Yea I'm rooting for the 'old' guy too haha

Beating Nadal (arguably the greatest clay court player of all time) at the French is the only accomplishment left for Federer to achieve.

Ugh Federer needed that first set :/

Nadal on fire, 7 straight games won.

I lost hope after Federer blew his first set...

Nadal's really just in his head. Fed actually needs perfection just to win a point, and I think he feels that need.

Not going to happen.

 

[fir3fox]

I still believe! (.... or maybe just hope.)

 

[alliswell]

Federer's putting the ball in the net too much. Good for a Swiss against England, not so much against Nadal.

 

[phreak]

Yea his energy is wayyy down since those first 40 mins

 

[phreak]

Stepping it up now

I don't know what specifically it is, but from the first time I saw him play I just strongly disliked the guy. I respect how incredible he is (I don't think there is any doubt he will be the greatest clay court player of all time, and has a serious shot of besting Roger's major record), but the guy is just unlikeable. Or is it just me?
