Men and Womens Final

[rene]

5€ on Federer @4.00 bwin

only a try but it looks that Federer have a break in the 3rd to be back in the last 2 sets ..

Federer is tired now. Nadal is too good on clay ..
2-3 in the 4th, Nadal is one break infront and it seems not that the spanish give up a game now

And that takes my interest in this tourny to an end with a paltry 7.92 pts profit...

Well done to all who backed Nadal, who's certainly a very worthy winner.

Starting Bank : 100.00pts

I looked forward to this too much I think. Very disappointed at what I thought was generally a crap match I was hoping to say its a pity there had to be a loser--- in fact its a pity there had to be a winner!

I actually thought it was a pretty good match in what was a poor tournament overall. Overall this Roland Garros was pretty bad. Of the 20 odd games I saw completely only the first three sets of Gaudio-Hewitt really entertained.

Will be interesting to see how Fed reacts to this defeat. He tried mixing it up by coming to the net a lot and taking it to Nadal but Nadal never really looked under pressure. Fed will have to play very well and Nadal very poor to beat him on clay. I suspect his best chance will come if Nadal exits against someone else like Andreev or Nalbandian as they will surely be seeded 1 and 2 in opposite halfs of thedraw for the next while.

I could also see Fed having a bad recation to this defeat at Wimbeldon. I think that Wimbdleon will be a lot more competitive this year in both mens and womens.

I'd say you were maybe expecting too much from the final, Asto. I wouldn't say it was a great match by any stretch of the imagination, but I enjoyed it, and certainly wouldn't say it was crap.
