Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal eying Olympic Gold after wins
Aug 13, 2008 | Comments 4
For those of you, who thought that Roger Federer was washed up, shame on you. Four years ago Federer crashed out but this time round the tennis star has made it to the quarter finals by beating Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 6-3, 7-6 (4).
Federer has a lot to prove, not to his fans but to himself after losing Wimbledon last month to Rafael Nadal. He too is on a mission and proving that his win at Wimbledon was no fluke. Nadal has also advanced to the quarter finals by beating Igor Andreev of Russia, 6-4, 6-2.
If the pair of them play like they have been we might just see the pair of them battling it out on Sunday for the gold. The way that Rafael Nadal is playing of late he will climb to world No.1, toppling Fererer’s four and a half year reign.
Federer will meet No. 8 James Blake, it is not certain who Nadal will face yet but it looks as though it could be No. 3 Novak Djokovic.
It would be great to see the world No.1 and No.2 do battle once more, I will be cheering for Federer to win.

I like Federer too, but I will be cheering more for Nadal! I think it’s his time to shine now. He deserves to be number 1, he has worked so hard for it. Nadal has proven to one and sundry that he has what it takes to win all types of tennis courts, be it clay, grass, or hardcourt. I wish to see both of them battling it out again. I dont want to see Djokovic the spoilsport to spoil things up. GO GO GO NADAL!
sorry Gilda,
u might have all the hate for nole, but trust me he’ll end up a winner beating both nadal and fed….Go Novak
Nadal is the man
sorry shon, your nole doesnt deserve to be called a champion! he is insensitive and arrogant, he doesnt have the heart of a champion! he doesnt even pay taxes in his poor country Serbia! he would rather live in Monaco! i dont like his attitude and his character! NADAL IS A TRUE CHAMPION BOTH IN CHARACTER AND ATTITUDE! HUMBLE AND FRIENDLY! YOUR NOLE IS IMITATING NADAL’S HUMILITY NOW! THAT’S MORE LIKE IT!
