Scuds Federer/Roddick

Scudsy its 4-4 in the 3rd set with one set all. Roddick is into it and Federer appears human. Can Roddick pull this out?

I hope not but you have to hand it to him, he is playing very well today. Lots of confidence.

Over/Under on how many times Federer says 'fantastic' in his speech/interview 2.5

I think it was a little early to say Federer is human. I still think hes a machine, lol. Any chance we'll see that white jacket after this?

Fantastic!

Scuds-
A lot of the stuff you say about tennis I don't agree with, but I think your right on with Safin's ability to take down the top players, even Federer. The obvious problem is he cant beat the guys who arent in the top 20, thus he will only have very few chances to ever win that major again. But if I had to say yes or no to him winning at least 1 more major, I'd say yes.
Oracle-
As far as a rival goes, I think Nadal will be his closest. I think losing to him in the Wimbledon final really hurt Nadal. I really believe Nadal thought he "owned" Federer. He still owns a commanding edge against Federer, 4-2 lifetime I think, but Federer is the best all around player by far.

Federer will win the French. And more than once. Anyone who thinks he wont is kidding themselves. Hes already come closer than Sampras, whos best French was an appearance in a semi. I agree with everything Pgard says about this guy. Plus, like Tiger Woods, he is all class and theres nothing phony about him.

I wouldn't be surprised if he swept the slams next year. Outside of Nadal you've got nothing but a bunch of mental midgets on the tour who would rather kiss Federer's ass and call him the GOAT rather than man up and try and beat him.

(Replace Federer with Woods)

The odds of Federer winning compared to Woods are astronomically higher. Lets not lose our heads and say Federer's achievements are equal.

Well,let's look at this French thing reasonably.Federer has simply romped in the other 3 majors this year.He did not even threaten Nadal in the French Final.He has never come that close to actually winning that.There is no reason he shouldn't have won the French this year.He has dominated the other 3 majors.So,this year,I actually think we saw what should be his best attempt at the French.He has been awesome this year.So why would he up and win the French next year(when his best tennis has been in this year?)I think it will take an injury to Nadal,and even then,I am not sure Federer would beat all the other fine Clay players.I think he has no chance of beating a healthy Nadal at the French Open. He obviously would have done it this year(if he was going to do it.)Nadal will only get better on clay(not worse.)
