    Back to the future! Roger vs Rafa

    Just when we thought it was all over, here we have a Roger vs Rafa final again! Who would ever have thought it possible?

    This is a gift to the tennis world. As if Djokovic and Murray never existed. Am really looking forward to their match Sunday. Since their last meeting, Roger's game has evolved with more net forays then when he previously played Rafa. Rafa's serving tactics have evolved as well. This will be a fascinating final! Roger's talent vs Rafa's warrior mentality. May the best man win!
    Regards, Phil

    Right below this thread is a thread entitled "2017 Australian Open Championships". But feel free gzhpcu...to feel small.

      I actually feel nothing for the much ballyhood final hype of Roger Federer versus Rafael Nadal. Nadal sickens me. I almost cannot bear to watch except to hope to see him lose. There has never been a more self absorbed tennis player that has gotten so much adulation. It just goes to show you how stupid people really are.

      He has no consideration for anyone when he is playing except his own interests. The towels, the pre-serve routine, the water bottles, more towels, changing ends of the court, the coin toss. From the beginning to the end...it's all about Nadal. I can never understand how the receiver stands there waiting for him to go through the endless bouncing and pulling, tugging, picking, wiping. Why don't they continuously stand up with their hand up just before he serves? Are they afraid to piss him off?

      Watch for all of the psyching and freaking nonsense from this overinflated ego. But it figures that there are many out there salivating over this match up. The only thing that holds it together is Roger Federer...otherwise it is forgettable. It's a nonevent. Unless Roger wins.

        I can think of one that I feel is way more self absorbed and way more dislikeable and annoying.

          O how full of allusion and innuendo you are. Never actually name the person you wish to defame. Be a coy boy like your marster Donald instead. Even his staff are calling him a child as they take a leak. But he is a mentally ill adult if you ask me and there are others all around some even at this website. Whom do I mean? You'll never know-- heh, heh. I can learn the art of innuendo from Dear Leader myself. Imagine, just imagine whom I mean. But not you, I can assure you of that.

                    Pat Cash accuses Roger of cheating for his medical rimeout. Roger said previosly he feels his thigh. In the old days, they would have 10 minute break after the third set. Envious.

                      I think after 15 years of being shafted by other players taking MTOs, Roger was thoroughly entitled to take a couple this year himself. Think of them as MTOs well earned.

                      It's tough to think of a fairer payer than Roger...Rosewall, Borg, Sampras...it's a small club that one. And within his own generation he's been out on his own,

                        Pat Cash...one of the original "cheaters" to cash in on the license to play with an oversized racquet. Like a lot of the media shills...he might try to shut up and listen. But I am going to find what he said and make a ruling on it.

                            Just wondering: did either Nole or Andy congratulate Roger for his AO win?
