Great match, could have gone either way if Nadal got the second i think. Definately going to be a great rivalry between these two in years to come! Although I predict that nadal will run into a few injuries due to his extreme technique. Federer is definately a more efficient complete player.

That is true, Nadal does play very explosively. He keeps it mainly on the softer clay though, which helps. It's funny that he made it to the finals, I don't think many people even expected him to make it to the quarter finals.

No I didn't expect him to make it that far either. His game is not suited to grass at all but he is an exceptional athlete. If he can develop a stronger net game and keep improving his serve he might have a chance at wimbledon in years to come. I wonder how long his clay court run will last? Id ay he will own the french open for the next 5 years!

Yeah he seems unstoppable on clay and I assume he'll just keep getting better. He did come up with some exceptional volleys at Wimbledon though. That was suprising.
