Federer or Nadal.

So, I decided to give out my verdict on this historic rivalry.

Fedex has that elegance and style that I do not find in his best rival...Nadal has killer instincts, power and fury, but the smiling assassin is more consistent...

By the books too, Fedex has more grand slams than Nadal...

So, what about the Aussie open loss, Has Nadal surpassed federer? I would say not yet...

There is something about federer that sets him apart, the attitude in his game.

I realize this is getting biased, what can you expect from a fedex fan :)

But one thing, Nadal surpasses fedex on clay, agreed. Atleast from what we know so far!

This is what Nadal had to say after the win:

"I'm sorry for today, I really know how you feel. But remember – you are one of the best players of the history and you are going to improve the 14 of Sampras. It is always a pleasure to play you and best of luck for the rest of the year."


Nadi, your days as No.1 are numbered!

Guyz, tell you what, for a 'part-time' tennis fan like me, the one big reason to watch the game is you!!!

Wish you guyz play many many more games! A treat to watch!
