I hate Roger Federer. The entire world adores him, I loathe him. That's all.

Maybe that's because the rest of the world recognises his undeniable talent, whilst you can't see it and are jealous. Fight Fight Fight!!! ;)

Seriously though, i hope he wins the French Open, he deserves it. He has been the best player since Sampras retired. I still rate him above Nadal at the moment, however i can see Nadal beating Federer's total of 13 (so far) grand slams.

Federer is one of the best players ever but I'd still say Sampras was better. Federer won most of his titles when there wasn't really anyone else around to challenge him, whereas there were quite a few worthy challengers to Sampras's domination. I kind of hope Fed never equals Sampras's fourteen Grand Slams.

Awww nuts. Another final of Federer clinically annihilating some fool. Why cheer a guy on just because he wins everything? Don't you want to see some tough contests?

Don't know if you noticed but until this year Nadal was as dominant on clay as Federer was on grass...

And I wasn't bothered when he went out of Roland Garros - a chance for someone else to win. I just wish R-Fed had a decent opponent for the final. I know Soderling's had a good run, but he almost threw away a 2-0 lead in that semi. No way his composure's going to stand up.

I really hate Nadal. I can't explain the reasoning behind it, but I just don't like him. I always root for Federar in their matches, and in every one I've seen he's lost. Last years Wimbledon final was probably the greatest tennis game I've ever seen. Gutted at the end, though.

It's because you're Federer.
