Amazing how people were predicting a Calendar Slam for Nadal until
only a few days ago. To me, when I put Federer's wins and loses over
the years, I seem to like him even more because his game is stable and
steady unlike others who come and go in a span of a few years. Nadal
may be a bad match up for Federer on slow surfaces just like a few
others have been, but you don't find Federer losing to unknowns in
grand slams. He always gives himself a chance by making it to the
semis or finals. Federer has never been humiliated at Wimbledon (his
supposed surface) like Nadal has been on his favourite surface.
Watching the Soderling match again, I realized how close Soderling was
to wrapping the match in straight sets. Puts a perpective on things in
terms of who dominates his home turf better. To me, Nadal is like
Becker. Peaked early, and will be gone early. Federer is like aged
wine and we will continue to see him for more years than Nadal, unless
of course papa Fed figures he has won it all, and let the rest fight
it out.

Exactly. Nadal is an inferior player but some were tipping him for the
CYGS. FFS, he wont win anymore slams this year....

That is not so a bad post. The comparisation Nadal - Becker is quite
amazing.
Just replace Clay with Grass and FO with Wimbledon and you have it.
Both have been invincible the first years at "their" Grand slam.
I still consider Becker the grass GOAT and Nadal the clay GOAT but the
lack of constancy and the soon burnouts avoids both being real GOATS.

And like Becker, Nadal will only win 6 slams. Nadal is done. Put a
fork in him.

I guess, Nadal will win one or two more. He had the advantage over
Becker that he hadn't any competition at FO, meanwhile Becker had to
face real grass monsters like Edberg, Stich, Sampras. If you take
those 3 away, Becker would have made at least 7 Wimbledons and 10
slams together.
This is about the achievement I would guess for Nadal.

Nadal's a phenomenal champion and will be back. You can be sure of
that. No need to denigrate him because he won't dominate the way Fed
did.

I don't recall any fake injury timeouts in the Sod match. If there
ever was a time to cheat, that would've
been it.

Exactly. Its funny to watch the bandwaggon-jumping, isn't it?
Look, Nadal is still a great player. Federer is still a great player.
One loss is not going to change that.
