Finally the ghosts have died...the exorcism worked...ya..am talking about federer's taste at the french curry...The guy did it finally...If you had seen all the previous 3 finals and this 2009 final, there was only 1 similarity...federer crying at the end of the match...but in completely different contexts on both the occasions...and the main difference(of many) was nadal's absence in the final...Some guy once said during a Wimbledon final..."In this open era...u are either a clay court specialist..or a grass court's or a hard court's or.....u are Federer..".....And it really came true on june 7th 2009...After last year's final performance in which Fed went down in 3 straight sets to Nadal and dint even break the Spaniard's serve once...many of us wrote off the Swiss..saying it was be his last chance on the red surface...but look wat he did...And even now some are not giving full credit to the guy...and the excuse..???...Nadal bunked the final so Fed came in class first.....But guys...come on...the guy had been trying for 4 years...has anyone else reached 4 consecutive finals here..(except Nadal ofcourse...)..So he deserves dis one...Of course we can never know wat the script would have been if it had been Nad-Fed again this year...
And of all people who were watching the final on TV sets...am sure that the guy who had minimum blinks of his eye was Nadal...Given his sportsmanship, he would have been very happy at the result...And all this time we always have been pointing the finger at Fed and saying "oh...poor bastard..not again"...But nadal knows only too well...What his stature would have been..if only he was born either 5 years earlier or later to his birthday.....The guy was being pissed off consistently by Fed for the first 3 years of his career...He even once said.."if you take my statistics...I will be No.1 in all the eras except this Fedex era..."...Of course he was NO.2 for as long as anyone can remember.....But the clay moron always had his way at the Garros...
On a more personal note...Am a nadal fan and proud to be one...But the guy had to lose some day and it finally came...thanks to the Solder-man...whoever he is...And am pretty sure the bookies still wouldn't have put more odds with federer to win the final...because guys...there are 2 things that always stood between the Swiss and the French....."NADAL" and "the GHOST"...ya..nadal was out early but the ghosts in fed's mind would never leave him atleast for the rest of his career...And by ghosts i mean...the negative self conf...on the red surface particularly.....inflicted by the bull...But somehow he overcame the ghosts(to every one's surprise...)..and that too in a pretty quick time...it must be one of the shortest grand slam finals here...
Full monty.....the ghosts die...at Garros..

Nadal - fed rivalry stands out from other rivalries we are used to in today's sporting world. They have great respect for each other. Probably they are the only rivals who have common fans, at least when I watch them play against each other, I do not support anyone in fact I support both!!!!!!!
and I'm happy for Federer for his maiden french title... way to go feddy
