I can remember this match. I've never seen such consistent hard hitting from any player ever. Rossol was on total fire.

Spot on, I remember watching in disbelief at how hard he was hitting the ball, it was unreal.

It was one heck of a match, but the Hewett and Karovic match of 2002 had hitting just as hard from Dr. Ivo. Hewett was the defending champion and played Dr. Ivo in the first round. Talk about a nightmare! Lost in five sets as well.

[@sol029]

I love watching the underdog just swinging freely because he's got nothing to lose. On this day everything clicked for Rosol. There was no stopping it.

This is the best closeout I've literally ever seen. FOUR winners to close the match!

Why Wimbledon is most prestigious tournament who made it prestigious and oldest tournament If it is that prestigious and biggest the officials should keep it 1 month after Clay court season for sure so that everybody gets chance to play it fully fit and healthy actually. Djokovic is unrivalled at Wimbledon because the players will be tired and exhausted after clay court season. Djokovic would win it easily against anybody as he is best at adapting to surface quickly then Nadal and other players. It should be fair for 1. Clay court players 2. Hard court players 3. Grass court players Wimbledon became landmark of Djokovic actually he is unbeatable and unrivalled at Wimbledon. It looks like Wimbledon is created for Djokovic only. I am extremely confident if they don't increase to 1 month Djokovic will win 3 to 4 Wimbledon titles for sure from 2023 to 2026. Young players are good hard and Clay court players but not good grass court players for sure they are not able to adapt to grass quickly. It should be held every 4 weeks and decrease 1 week for US Open simple Djokovic shall see tough competition at Wimbledon for sure Tennis season will be balanced for sure Sorry 2 to 3 weeks is joke if people call it oldest and prestigious tournament for sure. Just give 4 Wimbledon titles to Djokovic from 2023 to 2026 simple The fight Federer,Nadal and Murray gives to Djokovic at Wimbledon no other player can give to Djokovic. 2021 and 2022 Wimbledon was boring and not fun like 2018 and 2019 Wimbledon for sure 2021 Wimbledon was held 2 weeks after French open because of Olympics actually Djokovic is 7 time Wimbledon champion due to lack of rivals at Wimbledon as young players failed to excell at grass no serious threat to Djokovic at Wimbledon. Federer is old and injured Nadal still developing on grass actually Murray is struggling with hip injury. Djokovic is unrivalled at Wimbledon. Berettini and Felix didn't reach the level to beat Nadal and Djokovic at Wimbledon in 5 set matches. If Nadal loses 1 set again he will bounce back and win next set due to his mental strength and physical strength 3 weeks is working well for Nadal Young players need 1 month recovery after French open simple or these two players will keep winning Wimbledon Titles only Nadal didn't reach the level of Djokovic to beat him at Wimbledon. Max he could reach semifinals or finals but not strong enough to win Wimbledon title because of Djokovic

[@kikaa1884]

Berettini didn't reach the level of Nadal at Wimbledon. And Nadal didn't reach the level of Djokovic at Wimbledon simple.

[@denisdaly1708]

This is grass. Big hitters can catch a great day and cause an upset. This is why Federer's 8 Wimbledon titles is such an amazing achievement.

[@z4ng3tsu1ch1g0]

10sBalls123 so where’s Del Potro’s 8 wimbys? Milos Raonic? Terrible argument.

[@ProGamer___]

@10sBalls123 excuses its still very difficult

[@LennyTurner]

Completely agree mate. Even Fed has been upset by big hitters like Berdych, Tsonga, Berdych and Anderson. But his overall consistency is so admirable. Never forget that Nadal didn't make Wimbledon QF's 2012-2017 (he was in his mid-late 20's so arguably his prime). Even Federer made the Quarters at the French at ages 34 and 37 (losing to the eventual winners both times - Stan and rafa). Federer is far more consistent than Rafa overall.

[@geuros]

@@LennyTurner Fed is much more versatile. Just look at the distribution of their slams - Roger has 6/1/8/5, Rafa 1/12/2/3. That's 30% of Roger's slams AO, 5% RG, 40% Wimbledon, 25% US. Rafa has ~5.5% AO, ~66% RG, ~11% Wimbledon, ~17% US.

Fed reached 3 finals in between that age and won one (2008, 2009, 2011). Fed had competition in this period from Nadal, Djokovic, Soderling and Tsonga. Nadal had competion from Darcis, Rosol, Brown, Kyrgios and Muller. And then Nadal fans say Fed beat nobodies in his finals. Nadal actually was beaten by nobodies in r2, 3 and 4😂

theres something about the guys who take out Nadal in early rounds, because it's rare that Nadal actually plays badly in these matches.
