Rafa's game is perfectly suited for clay court. Behind the baseline topspin power ground strokes on a surface where the ball slides off with minimal drag, hit the near baseline cross court which fucks up any attempt at establishing any offensive rhythm. That why mf's are always playing D on his serve.

And that left hand slice serve to right-handed player ... on clay?



He's the best return hitter on the run in the game if not ever. Also a big advantage on clay which favors the full western grip.

Not to mention his recently perfected surgical drop shot touch that made Roger cry at the Aussie Open.


"Sorry Rog' "

 

[CT's Finest]

I'll go with Mr. Federer. He just beat Raffa on clay too...


...And on the women's side I'll go with...

...PHAT ASS...I mean Serena Williams...

 

[sean69]

Rafa after the the loss to Roger at the Madrid Open last Sunday:

"There are no positives, there is little to analyze," said Nadal, the 2005 champion. "He broke and broke and I went home."

Translation:
"Veré su asno de ramera en garros de Roland Garros ... Bitch."

In other words, Raffa is saying "Roger is gonna kick my ass again at the French"...

Watch Roger tame Rafa's ass when it comes to Wimbledon and the grass courts. On grass there's no one better out there.

Look at his eyes in this pic

 

[CT's Finest]

Look at his eyes in this pic

Here is a picture of Rafa watching the rest of the '09 French Open...


















































...You're probably wondering why his eyes are covered while he watches. Well, the simple answer to that inquiry is that they are covered because he can't see it from where ever he is. Since HE LOST already there is no need to watch it...Right?

French Open 2009: Roger Federer greatest player in history, says Robin Soderling

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/te...t-player-in-history-says-Robin-Soderling.html

Federer wins French for career Slam

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/french09/news/story?id=4238813

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Roger has tied my boy Pete Sampras with 14 grand slams. How fitting it is that these two are tied. The reason I like Roger is because he reminds me of Pete. Both are silent assassins, who simply come to the court, KICK YOUR FUCKIN' ASS, and then go on about their business. Props to Roger...






















...Take that Sean...

 

[Cant Get Right]

Anyone see that fool run out on the court? Ol boy in that suit that tackled him needs to suit up for the St Louis Rams. Fed should have never let him get close. shoulda merked him with the racket.

I wonder if it has any less meaning since he didnt beat Rafa to get the title?

Why would it? The goal is to beat whoever is in front of you. Rafa didn't make it so he doesn't matter in this case.

Ok CT now that we got the PC answer out of the way Rafa has been kicking Rogers ass on clay year after year after year and then when he finally wins on clay it isn't against Rafa something inside of him is saying this is a little less sweet.

Sure he probably would have preferred to be Rafa today, but do you seriously think that the fact it wasn't him diminishes the win for Roger? His goal is to do more than beat Rafa. He wanted to win the French (the only grand slam he hadn't won until today) and get people off his back when it comes to talk about tying Pete for the most grand slams, who's the greatest, etc. Besides that he beat Rafa the last time they played (and that was on clay as well).

Probably when he is well into retirement someone will ask him about it again and he will say/admit the victory wasn't as sweet. Just like Eddie George came out and said after he retired that when he got traded to the cowboys with him being from philly something in the back of his mind wanted them to lose every game.

Yeah, so exactly which "Pete Sampras" does this bitch ...

... remind you of?

Come on man, Pete never pulled this kind of bitch shit.

Roger may have tied Pete for slams but will never fathom the level of grace and class as him.

Pete was always gracious even in loss. Never cried like a straight bitch or down-played the victory of those who beat him like Fed' did routinely.

For starters, check out his post game press conference after he got shitted on by Djoikovic in the 2008 Australian Open semi-finals.

How about his bitch ass smashing his racket after an unforced error in Miami earlier this year ...



Pete was a champion and class personified.

No denying Roger is a great tennis player arguably (for now ...) the G.O.A.T. but yo ... watch how you throw his name in the same sentences with Pete.

Rafa has 6 slams and he just turned 23!

I'd hold on that G.O.A.T. title for another 10 yrs ...
