They even met in Rome Finals....
The point is Bull's team is very strategic about their timing to meet the ailing Swiss Maestro.
Had Maestro been in the form like last year, Bull's injuries would've resurfaced!!
On the other hand stupid Roger shows up everytime to be beaten by his rival..


No one has ever beaten a healthy Bull!!

#1 Nole and #2 Andy out of Cincy beaten by Isner and Berdych respectively. If Nadal wins this championship then he will become # 2.

Nadal, Federer one set apiece. Has been a great match till now.

"Chocolate" plays well but still loses to "the Bull"... (7-5, 4-6, 3-6)

I congratulate Roger for a valiant effort... Good luck to Rafa for the rest of the tournament!

Nadal gets the win. Was a very good match. Federer started losing his game after the second set. But anyways nothing lost as a Tennis enthusiast.

Idhellam pona paravalla, I want to see him lift USO before he retires.

Federer will drop to number 7 next week. Guess it happens when you fail to defend any of the tourneys you won last year. But I still think Federer came out a better man from yesterdays match than say a month ago. Played with a lot of intensity in the first set and had chances to wrap it up in the second. So his chances of making the SFs in the USO are still bright according to me. As for Nadal, kudos to him.The momentum was all his with Federer looking down the barrel after the second. So another title in the offing for Nadal. Barring the sub-par Wimbledon stint, he's had a wonderful year.

Agreed! Even Roger himself thought so. "I can definitely take more things away from this week than I could for the last sort of three months," Federer said (after the match). "So I'm happy about that. That sets it up nicely for me for New York, I think." "Could have won tonight, should have won tonight, who knows?"
