Another fantastic match between the best two players in tennis at the moment. Obviously one of the best matches (like everytime) in tennis history.
Although you could see, that both of them were nervouse, they really played great tennis with some just incredible rallies.

Of course Roger is making more errors then he did years before. But I think it is also the opponent (especially Rafa) who is also forcing such errors. It must incredible tough, for both, when you know you only have a chance to win the match, if you play your best tennis on every single shot for 5 sets - 5 hours long.
And everybody could see, that a normal "winner" isn't enough to make the point. You have to make the point 2, 3 or even 4 times.
That is a very big mental pressure and IMO nobody is mentally stronger then Nadal. Especially in such matches you can see, that Roger has more problems with that situations against Rafa.

Great words of both of them after the match. They are some real rolemodels for sportsmanship and everything else. I felt like that Rafa felt really sorry that he grabbed "Roger's GS titel".

That picture says everything I think.

Poor Fed. He definitely wanted this one so badly. Such a shame that there could only be one winner.

Roger really had his chances in that crucial third set, but Rafa was just relentless, and really didn't give Fed any cheap points. Fed won more points than Rafa in the end, but Rafa won the crucial points, and that was the key to the match.

Here's hoping Fed pulls the rabbit out of the hat and wins Roland Garros!

Spanish tennis training:

Lundgren was also the coach of Marat Safin.

But talent isn't enough. There are many talented players on the tour. We will see how this boy will develop in the next years.

Great Davis Cup weekend for the Czechs. Argentina is beatable too since we play at home and Nalbandian and Del Potro have some issues with each other.
