That was a nice distraction. Amazing quality!

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

Oh Federer...

Your serve lost you the game.

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

Precisely. When Federer's first serve actually worked they were unreturnable!!

strawberry floating. Epic.

Federer just seemed to lose it in the fitfth. Looks like we'll have to wait until the US Open for him to match Sampras' record. :cry:

Written the French off to Nadal already?

Nadal on clay is invincible over 5 sets.

And Wimbledon. :lol:

The only way I see Federer winning the French is if someone beats Nadal before the final or he pulls out through injury. Feds always has a chance at Wimbledon but Nadal is creeping up on him. Some of those shots Nadal pulled off today were amazing, his pace is unreal.

I really feel for Roger right now. :cry:

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

Federer is in tears :cry:

When was the last time someone won all four GSs in a single year?

I could see them coming when he sat down after the championship point. He looked distraught. :cry:

Rod Laver in 1969. He's actually done it twice.

He'll just have to go to Roland Garros and show Rafa who's boss...

like hell that'll happen though, hell will freeze over before Rafa loses on clay!

Wow the only person in history too. Nadal looks unstoppable at the moment, I can see him doing it.

I've only just seen Federer trying to make his speech after the match. It's hard to watch. :cry:

I missed the first 4 sets, saw the whole 5th set...whats all this talk about it being an epic final :lol:

Yes I know, apparently the four previous sets where awesome.

Wanted a Federer win, never mind ay. Wonder if Nadal will win all 4 this year?

You just answered your own question. The 4 sets prior had some of the very best tennis I have ever seen - Federer and Nadal are the only two players on the planet that could have lived with that sort of quality and intensity.

It was a cracking match but Nadal deserved his win.

It was an epic final. Not as good as the Wimbledon final of last year but it was still a fantastic game of tennis.
