Nadal kills Fed
Rafa again takes it to Federer, this time on hard courts. The conditions, obviously being on hardcourt you would assume, favored Roger, but not in this match. The classic Rafa forhand to Fed backhand did it again to the dancing express... And the Roger "outwide serve to Rafa backhand" was not there this time... What I am surprised about is how easilt Roger goes away when he id down vs. Rafa. If he gets broken early, his whole body language changes as if a horse goves another horse a lead... I ve said once, and I ;ll say it again, Roger plays Rafa so wrong. He cannot play behind the baseline and cannot try and "hit through the court" by Rafa, espcially on clay or a slower hard court. Rafa is a human backboard as he will get almost EVERYTHING back. Instead, Roger should slice him to death, keep the ball low, angle him off the court and drop shot him. By bringing Rafa in, you are negating Rafa's speed and making him a normal player instead of speedy gonzales out there... I watched how Roger made so many mistakes, especially on the forehand side, trying to hit the ball by Rafa. it is not going to happen on slower courts. Instead, when Roger gets shorter balls, he should drop shot him, or take some off and angle Rafa into the double alleys or off the court and come in... Is this the end of Roger? No, not yet, but for Roger fans, I think ONE more slam will only happen at this year or next years Wimby... But, what a career its been.
