Roger Has Transcended

A great Pic ain’t it? Looks much better with both the players smiling, unlike Aus Open.

Except for the reflection of some man in the trophy it is an awesome picture

Roger did it. Lets not speculate over the situation, He did it and thats what matters

First of, Roger’s performance was just what I expected him to give, if he was to defeat Nadal. For starters Roger hit 3 aces in the first set. He won 76% points when his first serve was in, which was in at 62%. To add on that he hit, 14 winners, 15 UF Errors, converted 1/1 break points and won 7/9 points on the net. Good stats. In comparison to Nadal’s 6 winners and 8 unforced errors.

He did the two most important things I felt he should have done, played aggressively, evident with 15 UF errors and Serve well.

Overall I still think this was more of Nadal not playing good, than Roger playing good. Still no excuses and a win is a win. I was especially impressed by his break point conversion which was a rock solid 2/2! Nadal didn’t play 1:4 as good as he was against Nole. Which was sort of obvious as a result of his match with Djokovic lasting over 4 hours! I was mislead by the Aus Open revival, and believed Rafa could do it again. But it wasn’t so.

This surely spices things up. I can say with confidence that the Top 4 in the world right now are pretty close to each other, and capable of defeating each other irrespective of the ranking. With Roger winning here, Nole playing so well for the past month or so and Murray having an incredible year so far and obviously Rafa, well you know why!

Unlike a few people, I do not feel this was an irrelavant match for either of them. Roger is gonna have loads more confidence after this than he would have had he lost. Plus a title is always good, as thats what players enter the tournament for, to win. Rafa is gonna have this defeat in his mind. Even though he does not show it and even though it seems that this was irrelavant for him. Rafa is gonna be looking for revenge and trust me he is upset at himself. However this might just turn out to be a good thing for Rafa, as he will be looking to avenge himself now, thus leading to a even more deadly performance.

And for heavens sake lets not make too much out of this result. It was bound to happen. Bravo to Roger, but lets not question Rafa’s credibility or any of that BS.
