Fed all the time volleying in Rafa direction for an easy shot, weird.

Re: Roland Garros - 2019
Sad thing is today there was no fight or any resistence from Fed, just out of order play and totally lost at the net.
Even worst Nadal does not seem to have played at not even 60% of his capacity.

Re: Roland Garros - 2019
Is Federer paying the price for not having played the FO in the previous years? For once Fed has the opp to play Nadal the worst conditions are there for the meeting! Storm Miguel is helping its compatriot!

Legendkiller is right about the Nadal CCBH hitting through the wind effectively.

The good news is that it gives me hope for Wimbledon.

There is nothing to draw from this match with such conds which were of course so detrimental for the risk taker.

At least for almost 2 sets it was competitive enough match. The breaks in the second killed it.

Re: Roland Garros - 2019
There it is. Rafa far superior today.
Not quite as bad ar RG08 but it was not very pretty from Fed's perspective. At least I never got too stressed out about the potential result.
Rooting for Thiem next, but if Nole wins that is ok too, as he may be a better antidote to Rafa.

Btw, Nadal hit 33 winners to Federer’s 25. Nadal played at a high level in tough conditions.Tenez wrote:There is nothing to draw from this match with such conds which were of course so detrimental for the risk taker.

I was really hopeful Fed could take the second set at 4:4 40-0. But it all disintegrated pretty quick after that.legendkillar wrote:At least for almost 2 sets it was competitive enough match. The breaks in the second killed it.

Re: Roland Garros - 2019
Easy win, more or less what I expected. I think it would have been worse against Djokovic given the conditions.
I doubt Federer will be bothered about this at all, he went into the event expecting maybe to get through week 1 and he had his fun with the match with Stan.
Hopefully the flirtation with clay is over now and he skips it in 2020, it's pointless really because other than Stan who he basically owns he'd lose to almost any top player (Thiem would kill him, Stan rescued him from Tsitsipas).
Rest up Fed and get grooved in for grass.

I will say right here that Nadal must be praying for Thiem, I give him only 15% chance against Djokovic.summerblues wrote:There it is. Rafa far superior today.

The conds whilst an equaliser did negate a more attacking game. I still think Federer will rue some missed key chances. If he had gone 3-0 in the 2nd, might've been a different match altogether.
Once Nadal got on the front foot, his confidence shot up. For 2 and a bit sets, he looked nervous and played tentatively.

Re: Roland Garros - 2019
well, another final
great from rafa
Roger had a plan, but rafa simply is better than him on clay
the wind only made the match closer
Lets see what the other semi brings

And Federer is better than Nadal on all other surfaces and 100% more talented. We'll take that
Clay isn't even a surface anyone was ever meant to play on.

Agree with that. It gave Fed a chance to win some games on the good (i.e., downwind) side of the court that he otherwise might not have won.naxroy wrote:the wind only made the match closer

its clear that Nadal was in terrible form in 2015 and 2016, but since the start of 2017, Rafa has reached 6 slam finals out of 10

Re: Roland Garros - 2019
Mostly agree. This match should disabuse Fed of any notion that he could still come and win RG. For as long as he is playing, he should focus on Wimbledon and - to a lesser extent - the USO and AO. Unlike you, I would not mind Fed entering RG (assuming he is still playing next year) but he should definitely take it easy here.bogbrush wrote:Easy win, more or less what I expected.

SB I am beginning to suspect you no longer want Djokovic to overtake all of Federers records.

Yup I agree with that.
Fed must have really enjoyed his fortnight though, and he's said a proper good-bye to a tournament where, by any normal standards, he has had great success. It was almost worth it just for the fantastic ovation he got walking off - and and getting to the SF means he can hold his head high. Thank goodness he got one title, although it would have been great to have beaten Nadal there once.
Now for the grass. I reckon he should avoid Stuttgart this year.
