ROGER,MY LITTLE BOY, NADAL WOULD NEVER HAVE SAID "...OBVIOUSLY TO LOSE... OVER MAYBE A BIT OF LGHT ...OR MY INURED KNEE OR THIS OR THAT"..IS ROUGH.
YOU BOTH PLAYED IN THE SAME LIGHT...IN THE SAME WIND..IN THE SAME STADIUM.... IT IS ROUGH AND EMBARRASSSING TO LOSE... OVER Maybe A BIT OF ...RAFA. FACE IT LIKE A MAN ( LIKE RAFA WOULD HAVE)...NO EXCUSES

FEDERER IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE IS N.1 FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!
FEDERER I LOVE YOU......

It was a rivetting match, no doubt. I still consider Roger top-notch, a true artist as well as an athlete. And a total gentleman. A class act. He reminds me of Borg in his prime. I hope and pray Roger will return to his glory days. He would never admit it but I think that his illness earlier played a big part in his performance this year. When you have a systemic illness like that, it takes a year or more to fully recover even to normal health standards, probably more to get to the fitness level of a top level athlete. Roger, you are still the best. I wish you good health and a return to your former level of health.

Dear

Gasquet and Murray also finished their match in an even murkier conditions. Roger should learn from Gasquet who when questioned if he was happy to continue said 'Yes, the light is the same for both of us'. It was ungracious of him to imply that lack of light was why he lost. Nadal outplayed him for most of the match and but for some untypical errors from Rafa (and the rain delays which unsettled him and perhaps allowed Fed to regroup) the match may well have ended in 3 sets.

I remember what Toni Nadal told his nephew while he was still training him... he said " You can't blame the ball, the net, the wind, your opponent, or anybody or anything else if you lose... it's your own doing!"
After the second set, the writing is on the wall... not even the rain, the wind the light,the 3rd and 4th sets disappointments, the Federer can stop the inevitable... in the end, Rafa lifted the golden wimbledon trophy.
VAMOS!

IM REALLY SURPRISED WITH FED'S COMPLAINT OF BAD LIGHT.HE IS MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE NOT PLAYING AT THE TIME,IN THE VERY SAME CONDITIONS.COME ON ROGER YOU SHOULD FACE DEFEAT LIKE A CHAMP.RAFA PROVED THAT HE IS BETTER THAN YOU.HE IS THE KING OF WIMBLY

Fed is master of excuses like he excused the audience of missing the forehand driving-volley....grow up

Roger federer is cute,sensible and a gentle soul. He will bounce back. Just he needs to get in touch with some priest. Some time out of jealousy people cast an evil eye on a person. Once Roger sees a healer that couls lift him up from this invisible evil, he would be back . Many people do belive in evil eye's bad infulence on the game. Roger is not Roger unless he removes that eveil eye set on him. Once that has been removed Roger hasno stopping or else he would be losing many matches coz of the evil if goes unsolved.

Recall that Federer has had problem with lights before. He lost to Canas in Miami in 2007 and Roddick in 2008 in Miami and both times he stated that the lights caused him problems. Also, at Roland Garros in 2007, a match scheduled late in the day -- after 4 pm -- was a problem for him because of the waning light.

Yes, Rafa had the same conditions. I can only say that while playing tennis myself last week at 7pm, I changed ends of the court with my partner and found it hard to see the ball because of the low light behind my partner on the other side of the net. Behind my partner was clear blue sky so all was silhouetted, and I could not see the ball until it was over the net -- too late to react well. Before I changed ends, there had been tall trees behind my partner so I could see the ball. Rafa mentioned that he could not see the ball, so it isn't that this was an excuse. It was simply a condition and sometimes it can affect one player more than another depending on where they are on the court. Imagine trying to read someone's serve when you can't see them. Often, players at other stadiums like Arthur Ashe are bothered by gusts of wind and it affects some players worse than others.

In these circumstances, it can be a toss-up. Those who watched the Wimbledon final saw balls blown off course in the wind that day. I personally recall seeing one hit by Rafa go wide because of wind. It could have gone the other way for either of these two magnificent athletes. What I don't understand is why it is necessary to express such vitriol -- like that above -- towards either of them.

yes, the weather conditions can affect players on same court on the same time differently, ofcourse, i agree. But still that is suprising that Federer really said that weird thing out... somebody mentioned Toni Nadal`s sentece about it, it is so right, i agree, there is nothing to blame after match, this is pointless. when i saw this headline, my first thought was that- no way that the world no1 says something like that...but leaving this weather issue and this totally stupid sentence.. Nadal deserved this victory totally, and well, so did Federer, they both played so good, amazing match. It is only matter of time ofcourse, when Nadal takes over Federer position:) but right now they are both so equal and it is just so good to see.

Media asked him the question about the light, that's why he answered the question. anyone in that situation would have said the same thing, because it was the truth condition, even nadal said that they couldn't see anything anymore. I mean who's going say "oh the light was perfect, i just lot the match" even the light was actually fainting...
medias never put out their question in the papers, they always highlight the answers given by the person they asked...which makes the person who answers the question look like they're making the statements or whinging ...

"obviously to lose the biggest tournament of the world over maybe a bit of light..." does roger really think that people will remember his loss due to the bad light many years later?

Although the light was not the only reason he lost the match but it was a factor!! and both nadal and federer said tht it was so dark that they could not even see their opponent. With such a close match it was basically like a coin toss in the end...and even if conditions were same for both, it was rafa who served last..... obviously both players are really good, but it was down to who had better eyesight in the end i guess!

c'mon everyone... Rafa is the champion and Roger is the loser! Let's face the fact and wait for the next chapter of their rivalry.
