@cbee69 totally agree, Nalbandian is pure class and he put ball wherever he want. In that match you will see the best two handed backhand, one the best drop shots, the best defensive slice, the best kick serve, thes forehand, the bests lobs... THE BEST SMART GAME! In other words the best Tennis!
It was perfect match by Roger. Great serve and he lost only a few points on his serve in entire match.Almost without unforced errors. Maybe Basel crowd motivates him to play better. This match and US Open 2008 final were his best matches in 2008.
this is pure tennis. i love how both players are cunning in their tactical placement of their shots. another thing is both do not grunt. its like a chess game.
La contrapierna perfecta de Federer en el 1er set que lo deja pintado a David. Luego David en el 2do set le hace LA MISMA contrapierna imposible para Roger. increíble ese ángulo.
@GyariSan ehh I think he does have the firewpower. He's always been a really agressive baseliner when he's playing well. That backhand of his is ridiculous.
Nalbandian's game relies heavy on consistency. He doesn't have firepower so can't exactly go from plan A to plan B as back up. High consistency means he requires strong mentality and dedication to the game, which he lacks alot of the times.
@jpark907 Don't get me wrong, he's a brilliant player. His backhand technically and effectiveness is the best in the game I admit. But he doesn't have alot of raw weapons as back up. It's unfortunate that he can't earn more free points.
ah cheers :) In the madrid masters there testing blue clay and may use it for next year if players agree to it but wiki said that and thats iffy and carpet umm why they get rid of it?
@cristianmassagana purely on a tennis level its a close call, but what gives the Federer-Nadal the edge is just the drama, number 1 and 2 for so long, its like a battle to show to everyone else who is better if you know what i mean, but tennis wise these 2 are my fav players ever.
nalbandian, sin ser un virtuoso ni mucho menos, siempre se las ha ingeniado para complicarle los partidos a federer; de hecho, en el historial entre ambos, han jugado 18 veces , de las cuales david ha ganado 8 por 10 del suizo, es decir, un historial bastante parejo.......
Juan Esteban Kruh Sanmguel nalbandian reached the wimbledon final in 2002 which was his best result at a slam. He arguably was in hia best shape during that time as well.
Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.
Roger looks like he's hitting the balls harder now. He looked in great form.
Btw, that trophy looks huge!

Nalbadian.... one of the most wasted talents in tennis, he had so much potential...
I like far away more Federer vs Nalbandian than Federer vs Nadal. Pure Tennis class.
I wouldn't mind getting one of those trophies =D

this is a hardcourt isnt it or is it still a carpet one? very fast and they keep changing the colour lightness lol
Carpet is no longer an official ATP surface since a couple of years ago.
Fed needs to serve big to win the US Open

Nalbandian's Rules!
@cristianmassagana Yea more finesse from both guys than with Fed vs. Nadal.
