QUOTE(Thrust @ Aug 17 2008, 01:23 PM) Hi guys, Both...!Lets say given the below 2 choices to Federer, which one do you think he would choose? 1) A French Open title 2) An Olympics gold medal haha...seriously...both are equally important and meaningful to win... Yesterday the Men Double Final match is quite interesting to watch... full of entertainment... surprisingly...you will see Federer react when he or Wawrinka hit a winner... usually...he show no emotion when he's playing single... it's funny when they won the match... hugging...and playing fool with each other... hope he got the confidence back and be on form again... and aim to get back the No.1...!

I think he would surely choose French Open. While we all know that Olympics tennis is important, its nowhere near the importance of any grand slams.. I know some players like Federer would say they rate Olympics same as grand slam, but its the number of grand slams you have in your career that show how great you are.
Excellent match by Elena Dementieva. I think she is owed a real big title.. She's a great player who never wins any grand slam due to her nerve and serve.. but now she's really showing that she can win the grand slam after this Olympic gold medal. Like her, she's a great player! ![]() More photos later. Now Nadal vs Gonzalez! |

I don't think so. Because Gonzalez is really playing well and he has beaten Nadal before in Australian Open. And Nadal has a weakness against players who hit very flat, like Gonzalez. But Gonzalez will to check out his unforced errors because that will be the key.

hehheh gonzalez.. dat guy has a nice forehand.. but his backhand very weak.. he try to hit variety backhand.. slice, spin,flat which is very easy to make error...
nadal as usual is a powerful spin player and recently have a very nice flat long swing stroke and he improved his returns too.. this kind of player u dun give him any short ball.. he's a player who will not miss any chance and try to avoid him to do too much nice passing or winners hehhe.. coz he will recharge and will do more nadal n gonzo... 50/50.. if nadal win gold medal this time.. he will win US open too |

I wonder why nadal always pick his 'backside' with finger. My mother found this action very disgusting and use this as "reason" to change to other channel, causing me cannot watch the match...

It's one of his lil routines he does,I'm sure he's very aware of it.He's just one of those who have a fixed set of routine (think Sharapova |

Well Nadal won his first Olympic gold medal. Now on to Flushing Meadows!!! To be honest I don't see him winning it, it would be tooo much to expect, Federer has won a gold medal albeit for doubles,hopefully that will boost his confidence, I hope he can successfully defend the US Open.
May the best player win w00t! |
