Roger defeated in epic final

01.02.2009 | Tennis

Roger had to put on hold his quest to match Pete Sampras with 14 Grand Slam singles titles today. He was defeated by Rafael Nadal in another epic five-set final 5-7, 6-3, 6-7(3), 6-3, 2-6.

 

After 4 hours and 23 minutes on court Roger could not hold back his tears during the prize ceremony, showing how much this title would have meant to him. Our star was trying to equal Pete Sampras' record 14 major titles but has now lost to Nadal the last three times they've met in Grand Slam finals.

Playing in the Australian Open Finals is still an achievement, considering that it was his 18th appearance on a Grand Slam Finals. Soon, Roger will have his heart's desire (-:

There's a reason to cry and, crying is a good therapy, it's healthy..

Dear Roger,
I will not console with the current situation you are going through. In Australian Open Rafa was not the better player it was you who was for first time mentally weak and I felt it that you have lost believe in yourself.
Please don’t take me

Excellent points raised by Mario. Those, and many other very concrete, very technical/tactical issues need to be reviewed by Team Fed, and I still believe that a full-time project must be undertaken, to counter the full-time game planning that Nadal and T
