Plus, isn't Nadal the one who popularized biting medals? Dickhead!

I'm biased cos Nadal's my fave but he's usually come across well to me, everything you guys say is fair enough though.
For some reason, I don't like Federer. Admittedly stuff he does that annoys me probably wouldn't annoy me if it was Nadal but he just seems really really up himself. Yeah he's a fucking don and probably the best tennis player ever but I still don't like that attitude myself.
I don't watch enough tennis bar the slams to have a serious opinion mind you, just my 2 cents.

Nadal carries himself well off the court but I've never liked him on the court. Very slow and his general playing style isn't as aesthetically pleasing. Topspin forehands can be incredible though.
He'll never really be a purist player when compared to Federer. Suppose it's kinda like Ronaldo and Messi. Ronaldo and Nadal are focused more on sheer athleticism whereas Messi and Federer are more graceful while being no less effective.
Nadal is now on 13 Grand Slams at 27, if he wins 4 more Grand Slams he will tie with Federer, since he can't seem to lose Roland Garros then you could see it being a close record at the end of their careers. Unless Federer wins a few more of course.

Wawrinka takes the first set against Nadal in the final and as we speak is a break up in the 2nd. Playing some fantastic tennis! Keep it up Stan!

Nadal injured. A shame for everyone. Based on the first set this could've been an excellent final.
Wawrinka fully deserves to win this Grand Slam though.

Should skew up the rankings enough to make the next few slams interesting with regards to rankings. Daresay that at this moment in time there is no such thing as a top four anymore and in reality Djokovic, Murray and Nadal suddenly aren't nailed on to reach semi finals every slam.

Nishikori beats his 3rd top 10 player in a row in knocking out Djokovic in 4. First Asian male in a Grand Slam final.
Cilic currently a set and a break up against Federer, serving like a machine. Really hope Federer comes through but he seems exhausted after the Monfils match. Whilst it'd be good to see a Nishikori/Cilic final in terms of a "who the fuck would have called that in January" way, Cilic is in my eyes is lucky to have his drugs ban reduced (admittedly it was only glucose tablets and not a PED but still), and Nishikori/Federer would have a winner I want either way.
Great to see 4 different winners of the slams in 2014 though.
