He is quite possibly the greatest clay court player in history, he had never lost a single match at Roland Garros, and he was defeated in the 4th round by a man who barely knows what clay is. This is big, man.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

It must have been important. It got about 8 seconds coverage on sports center.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Yeah... it is big. He was getting toasted on sports radio for losing to a "nobody"
It just seems like tennis is no longer a big thing in the US. There used to be a lot more excitement for the French Open and the other Majors. It used to do better ratings than Hockey Now, nobody really seems to get into it. I probably follow Women's Tennis more than the Men. The men seem pretty boring to me

I watched sets 2-4 of that match. Shocking.
The guy who beat him wasn't a "nobody" but it was a massive upset.

I didn't have a chance to see the match. Do you think it had more to do with Nadal's play or Soderling's?Originally posted by Arrian View PostClick here if you're having trouble sleeping.

I watched sets 3 and 4 on a ****ty stream with Mexican commentators after being alerted that something was up. It was a great tennis match! Nadal got outplayed and outworked. Even when he seemed to come back in the tiebreak it was only very temporary.
As usual, it is a bit of both. Söderling had many more winners as well as unforced errors, and he seemed to have more energy than Nadal. They really don't like each other since a while back, which might also have factored in. Maybe he got in his head.Originally posted by Lorizael
Söderling is a player that always had great potential which never seemed to really come out. He's been solidly top 30 for a while, not a nobody but not a top contender either (until now at least).Comment

I'd say it was more Soderling than Nadal. It didn't seem to me that Nadal gave away the match - not at all. Soderling went out and beat him. He made a lot of risky shots (he had to if he wanted to win), and it payed off.Originally posted by Lorizael View Post

I only got to see a few games in the match, but I'm very happy with the result. I've never liked Nadal."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned
