abhi_10_20 · 13-03-2007, 12:00 AM

very odd time to post this.......
my favourite Feddy lost at Indian Wells......

i had a great time fighting with many friends on who's the best.....
and was surprised to see so many Nadal fans.........

wanted to check in this forum.......
any tennis fans here????? if so, whom do you support and why??

kaustav_geek · 13-03-2007, 10:08 AM

Federer ,simply due to his sher class... His games are always a treat to watch... Ofcourse, there will have to be those times when the greatest players have to suffer defeat... But no doubt.. Its Federer for me..

abhi_10_20 · 13-03-2007, 10:22 AM

Rightly said

ambandla · 14-03-2007, 12:53 PM

Federer all the way.

Reason: He has same mindset for tier-3 event 1st round and Grandslam final. Plays so cool. Never lets pressure step in.

uchiha.sasuke · 14-03-2007, 06:20 PM

Federer plays his mind games on grass very well.
Nadal plays his powerful strokes on clay very well.

so.... federer is the best still

did anyone watch battle of the surfaces nadal won

was it telecast in india??

aditya.shevade · 05-05-2007, 01:50 PM

I love the way Federer plays. His game is brilliant... but for some reason, when it comes to Federer and Nadal match.... Nadal is the one that I support.

But still, none matches my all time fav, Pete Sampras.

I dont think they telecasted it in India. But I saw it on Youtube. It was a grt match. A very tight tiebreak in the end[7-5 4-6 7-6(12-10)]. Sad,

Federer lost. But he will win the French.
GO ROGER...........

Very interesting topic here. My pick - Nadel

Reasons

1) King of Clay Courts, always beat Federer on them, Federer never beat him on Clay courts till date.

2) Nadel beat Federer on grass courts as well.

3) Nadel is a pure tennis genius, Federer on the other side slowly kills the confidence in you through his excellent game play, Nadel on the other side, shows his class with just-cannot-reach returns on any types of courts.

4) Nadel runs, Nadel runs like nuts on the courts unlike Federer who tries his best to let not the other player put him in a inconveninet position and yes atleast all the tennis i've seen specially all the finals where these two guys meet, Nadel protects his side of the boundary hitting back everything on the baseline no matter where the ball is actually. He runs effectively and displays true sportsman spirit ( Note : I didnt say Federer does not display it

)

5) Every player wants to be Federer but most importantly every aspiring player wants to fight like Nadel.

Enough said, i have justified my choice

Looking forward to some meaningful discussion here on.

2) Now when did that happen
Fed has'nt lost on grass since 2003 Wimbledon. Nadal has never beaten Federer on grass.

3)Infact, Federer is a pure tennis genius. Nadal only runs and runs and runs....... He has a very few shots to play with. But, Fed has more variety and is more stylish. Nadal can return amazingly only on clay. On the rest of the courts he is good, but not great.

So, NADAL RULZ CLAY
FEDERER RULZ "THE REST"

Dipen01 · 06-05-2007, 12:24 AM

I support Federer anytime...eventhough his flaws are more than Nadal..

- Nadal can handle pressure better than Federer , he has done it many times on key points.

- Nadal can cover whole court without any problem

- Nadal's has no weakness (atleast on clay) i.e forehand and backend both are perfect...wheres Fed has little beat weak backhand which nadal knows very well and exploits it gladly... where Federer has one of the best fore hands..

- Nadal's game is stylish.. Federer's simple and he sticks to basics..

Still....I support Fed..everytime...Even i hav feeling that he might win Roland Garros this time..

Lets hope he does...

abhi_10_20 · 12-05-2007, 07:48 PM

its such a thing you know......even Sampras struggled to survive on clay......and now its Roger........hell ....how's he playing right now? better get onto track Roger......you dont wanna lose Wimbledon....
