Yeah...if he had won every game love, that'd be impressive.

Fail, subby:

FTA:

"Federer ran through the second set, as Nadal won just nine of 35 total points. The 30-year-old Swiss committed just eight unforced errors and hit seven aces to improve his perfect indoor record to 13-0 in 2011"

Well hows this then, since you're splitting hairs: Nadal doesn't win a single game in the second set. (Although indicating the score in the second set as 6-0 was enough of an explanation) either way it's pretty friggin' impressive.

That's false advertising in that headline! In all my years I've never seen such a flagrantly false headline. I can't believe what gets greenlit around here! YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS! Subby, you are the worst headline writer I've ever seen! Can I have a mod please? I think we need to overrule this greenlight... Everyone here sees it!

I quit watching televised tennis when the screaming, grunting and moaning women players gave me a boner.

Completely different story. Don't play tennis do you? Let's paraphrase for other sports and see if it makes a difference:

Hockey: Team A doesn't record a single shot the third period!
Actual: Team A didn't score the third period.

Baseball: Pitcher B threw a no-hitter!
Actual: Team A lost 5-0 but recorded 11 hits.

Football: Team A never caught a ball in the second half!
Actual: Team A ran a lot and had 12 complete passes in the second half.

Not exactly splitting hairs. More like the difference between a perm and a shave.

Tennis players win sets 6-0 pretty regularly. Only one man has won a set without giving up a point in pro tennis history, though. Pretty huge difference.

That's great and all, but his wife is still a heiffer. I realize there is only one 'f' in heiffer, but you can figure out what the extra 'f' is for.

Barclays ATP World Tour Finals

Well, duh. It wasn't Wimbledon. Nadal has to cycle off steroids every now and then, of course it's going to be during a non-major. He'll be back at his biggest and best when it's time for the real tournaments.

I was totally pumped for a Fed golden set. Very disappoint/misled.

Do you think this is true? A guy that I kind of knew and bumped around the doubles scene for a short time swore to me it was common knowledge on the Tour that Nadal juiced. But at the same time, he seems universally liked/respected by the other players (which would be surprising if it was known he use PEDs).

This right here. Winning a set without losing a point is called "golden set" and it's such a HUGE deal in tennis that the AFAIK only guy to ever win one is in the guiness records book.

The one guy who did win the golden set actually lost the match.

Subby here. Went to lunch, went for a walk and thought about it. And I'm sorry. Wasn't trying to deceive - just got point and game mixed up. My bad.

/But Federer still kicked Nadal's ass.

Face it kid. You farked up. You trusted us.

/It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
