Only thing Federer fans should be unhappy about is the fact that the ATP have no grass masters whatsoever on tour. Laughable to say the least when they have 3 Masters 1000 played on clay. Makes the whole masters bragging completely moot. And to think uncle phoney and his nephew even wanted the WTF on clay too. Greedy bastards.

Yeah., that's the Nadal's fault.. they were part of the Original ATP staff that decided it would be more clay tournaments than grass..

Really enjoyed the final,Thiem to me is a future RG winner,he has a good solid clay court game,loved some of Rafa's bhand cross court winners,especially the one in the first set tie break.Well done Rafa onto to Roma!

It's laughable that they have "only" three on clay...

It is what it is. You don't see Rafa or Roger whining. Part of greatness is about nonchalantly accepting what they can't control.

Tignor is not even consistent. He picks Rafa to win Madrid, but Kyrgios to win the R3 match against Rafa . :nono

Or is he being clever and making sure that at least some of his picks will be correct? :puzzled

That clown Tignor had his draw mixed up he had Rafa and Thiem in the same quarter of the draw.. he had Rafa defeating Murray for the championship..poor dude must be stressed out

Just catching up with the replay of a bit of the match now. So pleased for Rafa's win, and that Thiem made a good match of it. See you all on the new site!
