Andy Roddick added: "To this point, it’s one of the best matches I’ve ever seen."

Un-vaccinated guy (Djokovic) beats vaccinated guy (Nadal). I missed it (was watching Euro soccer game) but plan to watch this one later.

Somewhere there is a person spoiler raging who can’t be helped to intelligently make use of the forum to avoid reading the sports topic.

Another post that is a complete waste and abuse of server space. The number of Freepers who give a damn about this can be counted on your hands and toes.
If you care, I suggest you express your care on an appropriate Effete Euroweenie sports forum. FreeRepublic is NOT that forum.

Truly an awesome game.
4 hours of high tempo, incredible hard ball hitting, few unforced errors.
Pure tennis at its best. Bar none.
Old farts ran like deer around the court.

Maria Sharapova
In awe of what we just witnessed for the past 4 hours.
forever champs!!

"I haven’t [seen a better clay court match]," Wilander told Eurosport. "It seemed like the courts were playing really fast and they had so little time and both players had to anticipate when the other player hit. Novak, that’s as aggressive as I have seen him be on a clay court especially at Roland-Garros.

What the Hell are you blabbering on about? The title says "French Open" and it's under the "Sports" topic of FreeRepublic. Why did you click on it? You know they play tennis in the USA too, right, lol.

oh, hell, I was going to watch this later, assuming that Nadal had won.

Love the forefinger on the temple: he doesn’t mean it, but it’s an homage to Stan Wrawinka kicking his ass a few years back and twice, actually.

The title says “French Open” and it’s under the “Sports” topic of FreeRepublic.
Again, a COMPLETE WASTE OF SERVER SPACE. There is far more pressing issues this country is currently concerned with. A couple of Euro P_ssies running around in shorts chasing a little fuzzy ball is a total waste of valuable server space.
Again, the number of Freepers that care about this crap you can count on your two hands.
You’d get a better response by commenting on a Euro P_ssy Sports site.

I watched the whole thing. What was so impressive to me was this wasn’t typical men’s tennis (one big serve and maybe one return).

There were some great rallies and lots of serve and volley play but with men’s power.

And, as Johnny Mac said, “Making shots mortal humans could not do”.

Did I miss the high resolution pics? How much space does simple text take up on a server?

I watched the replay. It was great. It was pretty impressive for Djokovic To beat Nadal on Nadal’s best surface and Djokovic’s worst zurface.
