There is a difference between should have beaten and actually beating. That's the difference between good players and great players. Good players come close to winning but lose matches they should have won, great players find a way to win matches they could have easily lost
Nadal is really screwed with federer now, he's not beyond him but avoiding his op backhand just means he has to face the fed fh....Fed of 2017 is unreal
Ladies and gentleman, get ready, fed is gonna thank justin for his prestigious words of wisdom leading him to 3 titles. It would have been impossible without him
First it's by no means sure that Nadal wins RG or any of the clay masters. Second, if Roger thinks it's best for his body to rest over clay season - then he should rest! Third, does it really matter if he gets number one again? Honestly, when he plays as this year, that is the only thing that matters: when he showcase his talent this way he gives us precisely what we want: tennis entertainment of highest class! Plz Roger keep playing for many more years, there is no one like you and the black hole that you will leave when you retire is deep and got even deeper 2017!
Let's not forget. This is Rafa on other side, not Berdych. Choking is not an option here. Fed has to fight till the end. Being a Fed fan, that's the thing i like about Rafa. He is a fighter..
Roger fans : He was tired. Had more Time on court than Nadal by 2hrs. Miami is nothing, Roger already beat him in AO finals this year.
Rafa fans : Roger is on the form of his life. Rafa has never won Miami. Heck this is NOT CLAY!!
Got more?!
Master keeps delivering
All that matters!!
#just_saying
Federer had a easy draw in Miami??
That's ridiculous..
Del po , bautista agut, berdych , kyrgios and Rafa...
What more did u want????
The King is back again!
Please Roger let Rafa win :D
That's exaggeration.. 4 French open finals...or more....1 victory....thatw great for anyone else!
So can't say he is just bad..
Just that he came up vs Rafa whos just exceptional on it
Whao!
How times have changed.
Fed. v Rafa with Federer the overwhelming favorite...I never thought I'd see that day.
We shouldn't be too quick to write off Nadal's chances though. It will be very interesting.
