RAFA and ROGER

I was looking for an interview with Roger Federer who was speaking when Rafa once wore the sleeveless shirts on court and how intimidating he looked then. But I found the video below and not that interview.

The video is Rafa and Roger doing a promo shoot together apparently in 2010. At the end Rafa is teaching Roger how to speak a line in Spanish. I find this video very enjoyable to see.

There is one game that Roger served and Rafa won that was exceptional - I hope someone uploads it, if at all possible. I think it was the fifth game in the second set.

Fantastic to be able to watch this match! So happy to watch Rafa be happy. Especially in front of "his public" ~ loved watching his reaction, laughing at himself.

MUTUA MADRILENA MADRID OPEN

Nadal Achieves Historic Triumph With Victory Over Federer

Source:
Madrid-Sunday-Nadal-Wins-18th-Masters-1000-Trophy.aspx

Madrid, Spain

by ATP Staff

16.05.2010

© Getty ImagesRafael Nadal shows his delight at winning his 18th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 trophy.

At the age of 23 years and 11 months, Rafael Nadal won a record-breaking 18th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title as he defeated rival Roger Federer 6-4, 7-6(5), in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 final Sunday at the Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open.

Watched by Queen Sofia of Spain, Nadal also became the first player to win all three ATP World Tour Masters 1000 clay court tournaments in the same year, having triumphed at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters (d. Verdasco) and the Internazionali BNL d’Italia (d. Ferrer) last month.

As champion, the second-seeded Nadal received 1000 South African Airways 2010 ATP Ranking points and was already assured of returning to the No. 2 ranking by reaching the final in Madrid. The Top 8 players at the end of the season will qualify for the prestigious Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, to be held at The O2 in London from 21-28 November.

Victory for Nadal avenged the defeat he suffered to Federer in the Madrid final last year, the first year the event was played on clay at the Caja Magica in the Spanish capital. The Spaniard improved to a 28-2 mark in tour-level clay-court finals, with his two defeats both coming to Federer; he also lost to the Swiss in the 2007 Hamburg title match.

With 28 tour-level clay-court titles, Nadal moved into a tie for fifth place with Ivan Lendl and Ilie Nastase in the Open Era clay-court title leaders list. Guillermo Vilas holds the record with 45 titles.

In their first clash for a year, Nadal and Federer, who had both come through three-set tussles in the semi-finals, struggled to find their form in the opening exchanges of their 21st meeting. Breaks were exchanged in the third and fourth games before Nadal broke decisively in the seventh game as Federer paid the price for a game littered with unforced errors. The second-seeded Nadal then saved four break points as he served out the set, finishing with a hooked forehand passing shot past the stranded Federer.

With a one-set advantage, Nadal looked to have taken a firm grip on the match as he broke Federer in the opening game of the second set, wearing the Swiss down with his relentless attack that forced errors from the World No. 1’s racquet.

Nadal was unable to shut out Federer out. The determined Swiss immediately levelled and when Nadal again broke to lead 3-2, Federer once again pegged him back with a delightful mix of rifling backhands and forehand drop shots.

In the subsequent tie-break, Federer twice squandered a mini-break lead and found himself two match points down as his backhand broke down under relentless pressure from Nadal. The Swiss was able to save the first with a courageous deep forehand into the corner, but could not deny Nadal on the second as he miss-fired to hand the Mallorcan victory after two hours and 10 minutes.

Nadal lifted the trophy in Madrid for the second time, having previously triumphed in a fifth-set tie-break against Ivan Ljubicic on indoor hard court in 2005. Federer is also a two-time winner in Madrid, lifting the trophy in 2006 (d. Gonzalez) and 2009.

The 28-year-old Federer was looking to draw level with Nadal and Andre Agassi by winning a 17th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title. He was also bidding to capture his first title since clinching his 16th Grand Slam crown at the Australian Open (d. Murray) at the start of the year.

The right-hander slipped to a 19-6 record on the season and to a 62-25 mark in tour-level finals. He will hope to rejoin the winners’ circle by defending his title at Roland Garros, which begins in one week’s time in Paris.

My complaint is I couldn't find the championship match on CBS as was promised. And that once I called and complained to my local CBS station, I was informed the match was on another channel. But the match was jumping from one TV station to another throughout the match - without warning. Name another sport that network TV would disrepect so much and do this. Ridiculous.

Nadal Confirms for Grasscout Title Defense at Queens Club

Source: www.tennis-x.com

Posted on April 9, 2009

World No. 1 Rafael Nadal will defend his grasscourt title at the Queen's Club, the Aegon Championships, which he won last year fresh off the French Open title on clay.

"It was amazing," Nadal told the tournament website. "It was totally unexpected for me to win after winning in Roland Garros. I arrived and all I had was one day to adapt to grass. But I played really, really good tennis. I played relaxed, without pressure and I played really well."

Andy Roddick is another early committal for the first grasscourt event of the season after the run on red clay.

"It is nice to come back to a place where you are the last champion," Nadal said. "To arrive as the last champion is going to be a really nice experience."

Nadal beat Novak Djokovic 7-6, 7-5 in last year's final, then went on to win Wimbledon, beating Roger Federer in a five-set final.

Nadal became the first player to win the French Open, Queen's and Wimbledon in the same year.

THE CHAMPION OF TENNIS - RAFAEL NADAL

It was Super Bowl Sunday. For me it was Super Bowl Sunday at 3:30 a.m. for professional tennis. I am a Rafael Nadal enthusiast.

"Mike and Mike" ("in the Morning") on ESPN Sunday prior to the football game for Super Bowl, had this to say about the Australian Open Final: Rafa and Roger are the number one rivalry in the world. Tiger is a rivalry, but it's against the field of other golfers. Forget the Yankees and Red Sox...I don't want to hear about it... This is Super Bowl Sunday, not the time to talk about it (tennis), but we will (at another time)." That is close to what he said. I don't have the transcript.
