He better change this habit as soon as possible. Nowadays he is too great and always enter finals of any tournament. If he continue this BAD habit, my mom in future will use this as a "reason" to watch her favorite channel instead of letting me watching GRAND SLAMS final. lol

About Federer, I think it's time for him to shift to concentrate mans double. Why? you see, nowadays Federer's unforced errors mostly came from "out", and the larger WIDTH of court in double games allow him more room to shoot the ball to the "out" region in the single match without fault in double games. lol

Congrats to Federer and Nadal...feel so happy for Federer after he lost out on French, wimbledon and World No. 1...

i dun think both fed and nadal will win the US open..i wan to see others win it rather than the BIG THREE

Big three? I want Federer to win. He hasn't won any Grand Slam this year and really need one to boost his confidence.





Nadal seems to be playing really well. No doubt he will have a big chance winning US Open...

they say that the big three is the top 3...nadal,djoker and of course, federer..because it's always them who wins the grand slam..djokovic joined by stopping the top 2 by winning the aussie open..btw..where has tsonga gone to?

hehe alot of federer's fan here.. but guys... i think.. he dun deserve to win US Open with his performance this year.. he even lost to "roddick" What the HELL?? but maybe he can go until final.. he's safe because after this nadal will meet djokovic in semi.

if he really wants to get back his no 1. he has to work very2 hard... fix his backhand.

Murray also improve alot this year.. i think after federer's dominant, tennis is more exciting to watch!~ hehe..

i think this time..it's federer who will meet djokovic in the semis..federer will enter the open seeded 2 while djokovic at 3..from past grand slams except wimbledon..the chances of the 2nd seed meeting the 3rd seed is rather high

hye everyone..nadal fan here..really happy because he achieve his target to become olympic gold medallist...i think he will be world no. 1 next week

He's No.1 now. =)
You can go atptennis.com to check the rankings.

Well, Nadal deserves to be No.1.. really.. for what he has achieved this year.

What i hope for is Federer coming back and fight for the No.1 spot. And also US Open.

it's either djokovic or ferer this time.. if djokovic.. then 50/50 for him..to enter final.. i dunno i have a feel if he met murray now also 50/50.. if nadal.. 40/60... hehhe.. still remember last year.. everything was like 70/30 for him to win anyone he met.

or maybe he just trying something this year to get all the grand slams next year?

haha or nadal will be the legend to get all 4 grand slams in one year? ~ lalala...

djokovic is watching and trying too~~~ while murray is keep improving...

tennis is getting hotter and hotter now because everybody have chances.. i think after US open all the top players

have to do some extra works if they still want to stay in top 10 ~

federer on all time low. at least he won the doubles.
he badly need to get back in form and regain his confidence.

federer had his chance. 4 and a half freaking years he was untouchable and now nadal deserves his chance. of course, if nadal falls and fed takes it back, i for one am not complaining. maybe federer will see this as a new challenge and try to get back his number one spot. who knows? we shall see if this number 2 spot will make him a better player or make him worse.

i don't know whether fed will come back stronger..not rite now and i can't see it coming this or next yr..i oso feel tat he won't win the US Open but will reach at least the 2nd week..at the US Open..i'm gonna root for andy murray and also Juan Martin Del Potro...another up and coming player

I see no reason why Federer can't come back. He was playing so well last year... how could a player just drop so fast.... Its just the problem of confidence. Once he gets it back he will play very well.

i dont think that federer will win any grand slam this year...

for the us open it will be either nole or nadal will win the open...
if they meet before final, the winner of the match will win the open...

nole groundstroke is very solid by the way he took it... his serve is also very fluid unlike nadal.... the fluidity is as good as federer....

i wonder when does malaysia tennis will go more active??? hurmmmm...

i think all other players now have seen federer's weaknesses... and push him to make mistakes.. plus nowadays the quality of return serve of every player improved, so it's hard for his previous year playing style... serve and volley.


if we want malaysia tennis to be active we need at least 1 or 2 pros... i think we will get it soon since we have 2 junior who already have good ranking in boys & girls ITF ranking.... Juan Los Santos & Jawariah. Even i heard the girl last time qualified to play grand slam (Junior Circuit), im not sure wherether it was aus open or us open, beacause of financial/support she din play... Then the boy(juan) highest rank was 220, and his family very supportive and expose him with international competitive enviroment. So i think soon they will become pro. I din say that other junior players are not good, but in malaysia we need good player who can afford to play more outside tournament with their own budget

yeah fed reign is over.....

i hope the rivalry now will change to between rafa and nole!!! hahaha..

bout our tennis, why did this junior need to pull out money from their pocket? where is the function of ministry of sport?
where is the function of lawn tennis assoc of malaysia?

I heard the LTAM president suck the money. Lolz!

all of a sudden the fed bashers are out here in the thread... where were u guys b4 this

before this i only saw active fed bashers like pooh and faris and raikkonen really active here
