How come I just saw Federer beat Nadal on grass on a show entitled "French Open 2008"? on NBC?

Question

I had a late night last night, woke up to see Federer beating Nadal on grass, but then I see that Nadal has beaten Federer on websites and stuff. What match did I just see?

Answer 1

You saw the Wimbledon from last year.  Nadal beat Federer so quickly they had a lot of extra time to kill.

Answer 2

Because after the french open final, they repalyed a match from last years wimbledon... Nadal beat Federer 6-1 6-3 6-0.. And Federer hasnt lost a set 6-0 since 1999

Answer 3

Because Nadal won pretty fast on the clay so they had time to show last years Wimbledon final.

Answer 4

Rafa dominated Roger today at the French 6-1 6-3 6-0!

Vamos Rafa x*x

Answer 5

You were watching a replay of the 2007 Wimbledon final.  The french Open final today was so short in duration, a one-sided win in Nadal's favor,  6-1,6-3, 6-0, that there was a lot of time left after the match, so NBC used old footage to fill up the remaining time.  They should have shown replay of the women's final, or even coverage of the doubles or mixed doubles finals instead.

Answer 6

That was a rerun of last years Wimbledon. Nadal defeated Federer 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 today in the French Open.

Answer 7

Nexus you must have tuned in after the French Open final was finished. It was on clay in Roland Garros and only took 2 hours to play but since NBC had 5 hours scheduled for tennis they showed last years Wimbledon five set final of Rafa vs. Roger. Watching it again I really question Borg's pic that Rafa will win Wimbledon this year. Roger can pull out the aces when he needs them and his game is so much better for grass than clay. I think perhaps Borg is just biased since he doesn't want to loose his 5 straight Wimbledon record to Roger by Roger winning #6 this year. But that's just my opinion. Only time will tell.

Allez Roge!

Yeah Rafa played the best match of his life today and had Luck on his side too it seemed. Roger didn't play bad but Rafa got to everything and either hit winners or if it was a mishit or net cord it turned up as Rafa's point. The games were closer than the 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 game score would lead one to believe but Roger was in it in the 2nd set but then kinda gave up late in the 3rd.
