Federers arrogance was all to see against Mannarino (on me phone so can't be arsed spellcheck). He was battering him and then switched off, as if he thought there was no need to try because he'd already won. A total lack of respect towards his challenger He needs to save his energy for the later rounds when he'll need that extra edge. What's the point in throwing all your resources at an unseeded player when you need them against the Djokovic's and Murray's of the tournament?

Clay: 12-2(to Nadal) Hard: 4-4 Grass: 2-1(to Federer) Interesting... The last time Federer beat Nadal on grass was 2007? Nadal won it 2008 and 2010? Only didn't win in 2009 because he was out injured?

Neither of them will ever reach the heights of the great Greg Rusedski.

I understand that but he relaxed to the point where he was making mistakes and unforced errors I'm running out of reasons as to why I hate the bloke other than "I just do" ;D

Soderling lost to a teenager and he's a world class player; Tennis is a strange game bit like football...if you have Man Utd (full strength) vs Crewe then need to play Chelsea...do Man Utd need play out of their skin to beat Crewe? No of course not they'll want win but if they concede a goal but win & saved all that energy to beat Chelsea is that worth it? Yes...its all about the greater good ;D

Federer is the Arsenal of tennis. All the purists like him even though Nadal is a better player. Because he has a more aggressive personality and approach though, he is disliked by people who want to see match winning shots rather than all round brilliance. Team Nadal for me.

I like them both, top players one wonders though would either of them be able to match the clinical almost robotic tennis that Pistol Peter had at his very best?

Slightly/mostly off topic but what do you think about the big lad Bernard Tomic, he's only 18 and tall as a house - which I think is a disadvantage but think it would be great if someone could upset the applecart rather than have the usual suspects in at the death..
