    Well done Ana and now she will be World Number one I guess.

    Who knows we would see new champion in Men's final.

    Sure did. Such a talent and so good looking. Talk about having it all :D

    If your talking about the Roland Garros final, dont expect any surprises Nadal is in superb form.

    Spot on Nadal just blows Roger off the court
    6-1 6-3 6-0

    Federer was crushed
    But 2 great champions stood alongside Bjorn Borg as they received the trophies

    The two greatest players of the modern era :cool:

    so sad to see federer being crushed by the King of Clay...:(...

    There is no match for Nadal on clay..the way he ripped both Djokovic and federer was amazing to see...6-0 the last set was simply OMG ..:p

    Looking forward to wimbledon...Hope Fedex gets his game together for that..will be great to watch both in the wimbledon final for another year...

    Congrats to RAFA....:)

    djokovic is an idiot for playing his silly ass drop shots against nadal who is the fastest guy out there...

    when the match stats came up nadal had much less "winners" and djokovic much more unforced errors and crap 1st services...

    nadal truly is the king of clay but i feel djokovic could have been in the finals instead...maybe next year...

    yes, surprise and huge one, I was sure it will not end 3:0 for any of them, but 6-0 at end of that, maybe Federer knew that he have no chance so he gave up :confused:

    I dont think he will. IMO the federer dominance is over. His younger opponents dont fear him as much anymore. Djokovic is the next #1 if someone were to beat Nadal on clay it would be him IMO.

    Nah! He is still best player in the world and I am sure we would see his class in next Grandslam "Wimbledon 2008". Djokovic have to wait for more months to become no.1 Player.:D

    Well we would look it in few days.:) I think Djoko will not be qualify for Semi.:D

    Top 3 Rankings at the moment:-
    1st Federer , R. 6675
    2nd Nadal , R. 5585
    3rd Djokovic , N. 5225

    Since when do the top 2 seeds always make the final? Djoko is better then Nadal on the harder surfaces.

    Next #1 player would be nadal and it I don't think so Djokovic can win Wimbledon in the presence of Federer. Federer will win Wimbledon :D

    Which will mean he is better then Djoko on the quicker surfaces. He is king of clay not king of all surfaces ;)
