Doesn't get much better. 1st set went to a tiebreaker. Going to be a great match....prob goes 5 sets

Federer wins 3-1 but man , Nadal would not quit . Staved off 4 match points at different times ,never conceded a point and gave max effort on every point right until the end . What a beast .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Yeah Nadal is a beast. Such a fun battle with these 2 guys. I really thought it would go 5 sets. Federer vs joker is going to be another fun one. 3 of the greatest to ever hold a racquet

Competing for the privilege of getting pasted by Djokovic in the Final. Sports Wars did a good series of eps on Nadal v Federer:

They also cover Jordan v Isiah, Favre v Rodgers. They're on Kobe v Shaq now.

No one is getting pasted in the finals.

Racket

Racquet is badminton, racquetball

The back and forth during the tiebreakers was outstanding. Great match. Kate looks outstanding as always.

I have always loved watching tennis. Love the individual aspect of it. Kind of like boxing. Two going at it with no one to depend on but themselves.

I saw a replay of the winner

Question- they showed on the previous play it was in for Jok but the ump missed the call.

So on the winner, did freder miss on purpose as a sign of good sportsmanship?

No he didn't miss on purpose. Idiot.

The previous point was replayed because of the ruling of the review.

I don't know if that's "only divisional record matters for making the NFL Playoffs" dumb but it's knockin' on the door
