Rafael Nadal lost for the first time ever.
Robin Soderling beat him 6-2, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6!!
It's amazing indeed, no one expected this upset. The King is dead.

Federer is my all-time hero. He's the most gifted tennis player ever. Nadal is great too, but I don't like his behavious sometimes (like sitting on the bench too long and then running to the other side of the court)
Finally a tennis topic indeed. I play tennis myself, but just for the fun of it. Soderling played a brilliant match, his services and forehands were like bombs today. He well-deserved the win. Now hoping for the Fed Express to win Roland Garros. Then he will write tennis history.

Played tennis for a long time but I got a bit bored of it. Had a pretty good level of playing if I may say so. Now I play once in a while with some friends, just for fun. Still love the game, but right now I'm more focussed on cycling. RG is my favorite Grand Slam by the way.

Originally posted by blink:Cool thread, I don't really have a favourite, but I lean a bit more towards Federer I guess (although it changes every time). Too bad Nadal is out, Federer could have his revenge.
As for favourite tournament, id say RG. It just has a special vibe for me....... (or something)
Also don't forget Sharapova and Ivanovic![]()
