Wimbledon Needs Another Borg, and Roger Isn't It

Submitted by addicted, Jul 9, 2007 09:00

Unfortunately, not many here can appreciate the class that Federer brings to the courts. Some here are hurt because they think he does not give enough credit to Roddick (considering he has a 13-1 record against Roddick, I think he gives him way too much credit). Roger did not get lucky against Rafa. He is just a better champion (at least at this moment. Things change fast with Rafa). Of the 4 break points Nadal missed, only 1 was an unforced error, but was also brought on by Federer charging the net, forcing him to play a ridiculously hard down the line winner. 2 came from great serves, and 1 was the result of a very well constructed rally by Federer.
