This was Nadal's big chance. This grass was playing like a hardcourt. Balls were bouncing very high (no low skidding which is a killer for 2 handed backhands) providing for long rallies, a perfect chance for Nadal. Federer had not been pushed and I dont think played particularly well all tournament. This Wimbledon might have had some of the longest rallies I have ever seen.

Having said all of this, I think Nadal is a killer competitor. I dont think he is as talented as Federer but the kid finds ways to win. He has clearly learned how to adapt. Lets hope he does not burn out because he is still very young. This kid is a very smart player for his age, hugely talented in the head category. He really had an ideal chance to do it this tourney with the way the grass was playing. Nadal is not as talented. Serve still needs to get better. His forehand adjusted very well this time around. I think Nadal is mentally tougher than Federer, especially after the French win. I thought Federer lost his will, he did not think he could win. Nadal always believes he can win.

Professor Pat,hows the summer going so far?

Besides getting slapped upside the head by Morton weilding a large fish... fine. How is it going at the MOuntain this year? Are you up?

NOW HERE THIS: RETAMA WILL BE RACING THOROUGHBREDS starting Sept.

And now to keep to task on the thread. Borg had the fastest lateral movement I have ever seen in Tennis. He would have made a great Swedish Short Stop.
