"Record Breakers" is how i fondly call the Indian cricket team, the most acclaimed team in India. Do they break records so often ? No, Not at all. So why that name ? They break the dreams of a team which is on the verge of setting a record. AFAIK, i would quote breaking the conitnous wins of Australia in test cricket.
I am thinking about adding Nadal also in the list :) But the difference between, Men in Blue and Nadal is that, Nadal himself is on the path to making history. Atleast thats what i feel as i could not see any other "Record Breaker" grooming. Enough of Nadal, i am not a Nadal Fan. I adore the way Federer play. Since i was at home, i did see the final match between Federer and Nadal. Great match, both played well. Federer was one victory short of making history and he succumbed to that pressure :( Other than that his shots were as beautiful as they used to be before few years. Still at 27 he has a long way to go. Hope he comes back strong and wins few more titles and continues to be the king.

I think i have to disagree wid u here....Tennis is a game where u peak in ur early 20s and fade in the late 30s.....Take the case of Borg , Lendyl, Becker......they all faded in their late 20s....only a few like Sampras excelled in most part of their career, i doubt whether Roger can emulate Pete.....Nonetheless it was an outstanding match which Rafa deserved to win....did u observe tat Roger almost gave up the 5th set??.....Way to go Rafa!!!!
Sorry i meant late 20s here.....
@Shyam:
"Roger almost gave the 5th set" - Yep, agreed. but he gifted the 5th set to Nadal, rather than Nadal taking it from him. Fed was a lot tensed, worried and was desperate to win the match. But it is the desperation that led to the defeat i guess. A lot of unforced errors which i think is because of the pressure that was building upon him. Think he will come back strong. Lets see.
@Shyam: Anyway i agree Nadal played quite well. But Federer was playing better. I would still reiterate it was mostly self destruction added with Nadal's destruction. Nadal was exceptionally best in one shot, which i will explain to you in person.
I watched the match too.. Federer started making mistakes very early.. He made double faults early in the match and that cost dearly.. It was quite bad to see him sobbing..I was hoping he would give Nadal the tough fight Verdasco could give in the semi finals ..
Lets see .. If Federer comes back in style..
