about fucking time roger

 

[Jack Herer]

Roger is all class. Glad to see him win.

 

[ParanoidAndroid]

Roger is all ass. Glad to see him win.

Fixed it for you

 

[HPark1]

Don't like the guy but I believe he'll win the French. Even after the straight set win today you can still grab 8/9-1.

 

[SportSavant]

what were the odds?

 

[Boxer22]

Sucks. Now im not going to get as good as a price as I would have wanted on Fed for the French.

 

[HacheMan]

Agree with ya, and Nadal is cocky imo....

 

[DesertDevil]

Good rivalry.

Im not a "tennis fan" but follow along enough. Both dudes seem like class acts to me.

Roger is better. And his body of work when they are both said and done will say so.

Nadal has owned Roger, so 1-1 Roger has not been better, period.

Not questioning your knowledge, but is this fact or opinion?

What is the overall head to head record? Overall and in majors?

 

[festeringZit]

Nadal leads their overall head-to-head series 13–7.<sup id="cite_ref-atp-headtohead_5-0" class="reference">[6]</sup> Because tournament seedings are based on rankings, 16 of their matches have been in tournament finals, including an all-time record seven Grand Slam finals.<sup id="cite_ref-atp-therivalry_6-0" class="reference">[7]</sup> From 2006 to 2008, they played in every French Open and Wimbledon final, and they also met in the 2009 Australian Open final. Nadal won five of the seven matches, losing the first two Wimbledons. Three of these Grand Slam finals were five setters (2007 and 2008 Wimbledon, 2009 Australian), and the 2008 Wimbledon final has been lauded as the greatest match ever by many long-time tennis analysts.<sup id="cite_ref-greatestmatchever_7-0" class="reference">[8]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-McEnroe-greatestmatch_8-0" class="reference">[9]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-wertheim-greatestmatch_9-0" class="reference">[10]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-tignor-greatestmatch_10-0" class="reference">[11]</sup> They have also played in a record seven Masters Series finals, including a five hour match at the 2006 Rome Masters which Nadal won in a fifth-set tiebreak.

Good enough for me.

Can we say Nadal has Roger's #, but that Roger has a far more impressive overall career? Thus far at least?

Roger is 5 years older. I've heard tennis pro's comment that they
think Nadal will at least have as many majors as Roger does now,
in 5 years.

It's not fair to even say that Roger's had a *far* more impressive career,
when he's had 5 more years in his prime than Nadal.

True again.

Funny things can happen in the next five years though.

Tennis players can "hit the wall" at any given point.

Nadal still has a ways to go before his career hits "Roger" status IMO.

 

[X-Files]

Overall Roger has been superior on the surface used at
Wimbleton courts, and i think that would include head
to head vs Nadal. Nadal's best surface where he dominates
is on clay. Though i guess he lost on that to Roger today.

 

[HPark1]

what were the odds?

Upwards of 13-1 was available before this win.

 

[red007]

wow fucking toad pulls it off
mirka owes robin a bj

 

[red007]

curse of andre agassi.
he said rafa could win all 4 slams this year.
