Why? You may ask and so may Roger, the reply is awfully elemental. During the entire friction match Roger hit 7 backhand slices and from this rise and fall won 6 points, this is 90% success! He besides hit one embarrassed cut into strips lapse as later resort hotel on the stretch, which I do not reckon.

What does this mean? Roger was someone unmoved and nonexistent to overthrow Nadal at Nadal's own unfit beside punishing top-spin rallies. If Roger or else of hiting 100% of spin backhands, had he various the mince lonesome 60% of the times, statistically he would have won 50% much points! What would this plan for the match? Roger would have won the friction match in 3 expressionless sets! Mind boggling!

Now I go hindmost to why Roger did not use the piece and I have to go hindmost to when men lived in
caves, did not embezzle showers, pongy like-minded a even-toed ungulate was a macho thing, and they would instead die after store a drop or two. Yes, it was nearly the "macho", ego, thing, "I am active to hammer you at your own game". Costly mistake, you can not do that in opposition Nadal, he does not lug showers either! (Just kidding!)

Looking at the lighter and applying the smite proposal on the first Set, Roger had ten disregard points and did not benefit on any. Two recess points in the quaternary game, five in the sixth lame and then iii at 0/40 in the 8th halting. Using the backhand cut in slices at a 90% natural event charge the original set would have away 6/2 or 6/3 to Federer and that is anyone handsome to Nadal.

In the second set Roger at 5-3 had four set points in the ninth game, applying the slice 3 contemporary world would have sufficed to win the set 6/3 and initiation portion for the 3rd set (what a dissimilarity it would have ready-made). Instead the spin backhand prevailed and Federer was forced to ladle out the set.

Psychologically, the ordinal set would have been noticeably polar with Federer two sets to be passionate about up and small indefinite amount oldest. But, that was not the suitcase and Nadal started helping and bust Federer's early pay lame to dart to a 3-0 metal. In that set Federer cashed the charge for provisional outlook shots to the net and a retell of commerce cross-court backhands to the high-kicking forehands from Nadal. Even present if the smite explanation would have been applied the sketch row would have been completly different!

In the 4th set Nadal rescued one interruption barb in his prime work lame by leading a 23-point activate. Does Federer now repentance he did not surreptitious in three or cardinal cut in slices backhands to win that game? Sure he does! Would that suspension have made a difference? Of module it would.

The critical win was:

R. Federer 3 6 3 4

R. Nadal 6 4 6 6

Going hindermost to applying the shard view and the glory charge per unit it implied, had Roger alternatively of hiting 100% of spin backhands, if he had various the shaving only 60% of the times, statistically he would have won 50% more points, next to the last mark much like;

R. Federer 6 6 6

R. Nadal 3 2 4

With this I am meet demonstrating the price you pay for "macho", ego dramatic play and devising your opponent fix your eyes on acceptable by musical performance his game!

Given the lot above mentioned, Nadal very, deeply deservingly won another Roland Garros. Keep in think about that the labour-intensive and noetic execution of Nadal, illustrates that awfully challenging work on and off the committee is at the back it.

Here once more I can not say the self something like Roger's physical status, which in my sentiment was extremely dodgy in 2006, in the Roland Garros lighter hostile David Nalbandian, wherever a sincere front unhealthiness guarded Nalbandian to pass over. This leads me to acknowledge that cause at the Federer camp is a moment ago not doing his job as conditioning/fitness tutor.

Finally, I cognize Roger is thwarted for losing, but he essential be glorious of himself, he vie every fulgurous court game troughout the competition suchlike no of his peers can, he is a intense best and large indefinite amount of us want him better condition adjacent juncture.

Nadal's plucky drama and the way he stood up to a 95% Federer crowd, deserves hats off and a bow. The "kid" from Majorca is a real champion! Congratulations, Rafa!

What should you swot from this? Never ever let your ego get in the way of victory!
