both have withdrawn from hamburg this week.

If Nadal can win another grand slam than Roland Garros, I think it is the Australian open, because the surface is less fast than the one used at the US open.
And Nadal loses more matches than Federer in a whole season. When grass arrives, and then the american tounraments on hard court, Nadal win less, and Roger still wins almost all the matches he plays. But hopefully we have Nadal who can compete, because Tennis would be boring without this rivality.

I am not sure a lot of other players can win Roland Garros, i only see Nadal, Federer, and why not Nalbandian. Richard Gasquet has a huge talent, too bad he is not mature physically and mentally, i rely on him in the next years, he reminds me Federer sometimes, and i am sure he can win a grand slam in the next years.

Nadal and Federer took the right decision not playing in Hamburg : )

Wow that's great to hear. Didn't see the match because it was not on TV here, but Nadal is really strong on clay. And what a victory! Last time in Roland Garros Federer wasn't 100% fit, and he didn't have a real match with Nadal before, but now he had all that, and he's fit (I think) , so Nadal really won honourably. Sounds like a really good match to me. I hope Federer is not gonna win the RG. I don't really like him as a person.
