The Media picking Rafa
Patrick Kehoe
broadcasters are all picking Nadal to win the FO final tomorrow
Except for ESPN tennis writer Kamakshi Tandon, she's picked Roger and
did before the tournament...

Wilander picked fed...
If Borg did the same...Fed would probably get 4 games, total.

If you are so sure Nadal will win, why did you not have the courage to
accept felangel's offer?
TT
The problem with you is that you read very sloppy...
1. I didn't say Fed wins 4 games now - it was a reference to Wilander
and Borg picking Fed in 2008.
2. I explained why I wouldn't take the offer in that thread.

TT is more generous these days. He gives Federer 10 games.
Patrick Kehoe
Roger has his best chance ever to beat Rafa at Roland Garros... will
he?

Which country's media?
You certainly are - as always - only referring to U.S. media?

Is German media picking Fed? :)
Patrick Kehoe
Since I am a Canadian, not sure what you mean by that?
There's something called "the internet" Max; it allows a person to
review the opinions of commentators and writers from all over the
world...

The US media are complete assholes!
they never liked seeing a swiss dominating mens tennis. especially
beating all the american players. this is their arrogant way of giving a
jab at Federer every time. doesn't matter how much time Federer gives to
the american media. they just don't like him period.
their also a bunch of hypocrites.

The media knows shit. It is up to the players.
Watching the Nadal-Murray and Federer-Djokovic semis, one could get
the impression that Federer and Djokovic were better players than
Nadal and Murray. That would be the wrong impression because Federer
and Djokovic play the same flat, hard hitting game that Federer will
not be able to play against the Nadal spins.
We will get a better idea about who prevails after the first set…
Javier González
Let's see, aging former #1 and holder of 0 slams, who had one hot
match against an opponent against whom he matches up pretty well,
versus current #1, in prime age, holder of 3 slams, who's pretty much
the GOAT of the surface, against whom he matches up poorly.
Federer might pull off the upset. Given the form shown by Nadal this
FO, it is possible, but still highly unlikely. Nadal is still the
better bet for this match.
Mind you, I would love to see Federer win this one - but I don't think
he will.
Ali Asoag
You said in another post Fed would get maximally 10 games. So my
question is still valid. You are just coward to adhere to your opinion.
Patrick Kehoe
That's the conventional wisdom Javier... we shall see...

Which non-U.S. media did you include?
BTW, isn't Canada a part of the U.S.?
At least virtually, I mean?

He is from Canada, isn't he?

Javier González
Yep. I'd love to see Federer win it, but I'm content with a good match
(i.e. W2007 or W2008 drama leves :)
Patrick Kehoe
Really? You 'seem' like a Rafa supporter more than Feds... I didn't
realize that...

Javier González
What I wish for and what I think will actually happen don't mix this
time ;)
