And how about THIS statement:
"Obviously I'm the one that's playing with smaller margins, so obviously I'm always going to go through a bit more up and downs; whereas Rafa is content doing the one thing for the entire time. So it's always me who's going to dictate play and decide how the outcome is going to be. If I play well, I will most likely win in the score or beat him; if I'm not playing so well, that's when he wins."

Heh heh !! What else can he say ? He has become Rafa's serial victim. ( or the punchbag of Rafa., as called by some rude people...LOL) Fed lost 17 matces to Rafa in the 25 matches they played, and not only on clay. He lost on grass, he lost on hard.. Not to mention Rafa won the 3 matches they played in 2011.. Rafa began his serial killing in their 1st game, when he was 17 years old, in Miami .. Heh heh !!
Joe Posnanski in Sports Illustrated:
The Unbeatable Rafa
"He plays with passion but he also plays with control. He is a fighter, but he’s also an artist. He hits ridiculous shots all the time. It is impossible, I think, to watch him play and not feel awed."

Rafa was completely in control in his quarter and semi!! I don't wann jinx him, so NO prediction from ME about the final on sunday. Where he will meet Djokovic. I'd rather he met Roger, but honestly... what's UP with Roger and poor old Murray? Roger just wasn't even capable today. He SERVED for the 2nd set and let it slip away. and Murray? Geez... that boy needs to grow a pair!!! But, all carping aside? I am de-frosting my chicken heads tomorrow!! LOL VAMOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

I just LOVE these two sentences from Eurosport:
Last year Nadal, who has now won 52 matches at Roland Garros and lost just one, equalled Bjorn Borg’s record of six wins on the Paris clay. On Monday he became the greatest player the tournament has seen.
By contrast Djokovic was denied a career Grand Slam and also the chance to become the first player since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four Slam titles simultaneously.
