Historic victory that later broke Federer emotionally were he released
all his frustration of being defeated. Rafael Nadal aware & sensative
showed his maximum respect for the ex-Champ by straining his celebrations,
comforting his sporting friend & giving Federer encouragement.
It was a proud moment for all Spain, as Rafael Nadal is showing us all
that he is a Champion & a true gentlemen, something that most Spaniards

What did you mean?
Great match! I've never seen before crying Federer!
Striker, I have a question.
Atletico lost again and what about Aguirre? Is this the end? Is there any rumours or news in Madrid about who next?
Regards
Anonymous,
Spaniards, like most Western capitalist driven nations & their populations , are forgetting simple human values like solidarity & humility. Spaniards are everyday more individualist & less thinking for their fellow countryman, not all, most.
This youngman of 22 years of age, has shown us human lessons that all Spaniards, & everyone else should include in their daily lifes, or at least try.
Graciousness, nobleness & feeling for the other person.
The traditional sports ethics & values, as well.
Just my opinion
Cheers
Karpik,
Yes, Coach Aguirre is in serious danger!
Best & see you again
Striker:
Your youtube link shows that the video has been removed. I have two links (uploaded at El Mundano TV) that are still working:
6 seconds of Federer’s tears:

And a short of clip of the great Rod Laver giving the trophy to Nadal, who afterwards comforts Federer (you can hear my 10 years old son enthusiastic approval):
