Roger Federer is the greatest tennis player of all time and holds almost every record in the history books of tennis. But why can’t he beat Rafael Nadal and has a 7-14 record against the Spaniard?
Now it looks like the two tennis giants will meet in the final of the US-Open tomorrow. It would be their first meeting at the US-Open at all and for world no. 1 Rafa Nadal it would be even the first over all appearance in the finals of the US-Open, while Roger Federer has won the tournament for the past 5 years.
But still, I don’t think that Roger will be the favorite for this match.

I am a HUGE Federer fan and I used to hate Nadal but after watching him play he's hard to not like. Nadal has won me over. A big reason I think Fed has difficulty (other than the fact that Nadal runs like a spanish bull) is that Fed likes setting up his favorite pattern with an inside out forehand to the backhand of a right-handed player. That plays into Nadals forehand and he can hit more aggressively and cancel the pattern.
ReplyDeleteFed needs to learn some more left-handed friendly patterns.
I can't wait to hear your reasons.
Great blog.
