Federer Weeps As He Loses to Nadal...Again

[SmoothOperator]

Nadal won his sixth Grand Slam tournament and first in Melbourne, keeping Roger Federer from claiming a record-tying 14th major with a five-set triumph at Rod Laver Arena.

<span style="font-weight: bold">The 27-year-old Swiss star couldn't hold back tears at the trophy presentation.&quot;Maybe I'll try later. God, it's killing me,&quot; Federer said, sobbing.</span> He returned to congratulate Nadal within minutes, saying: &quot;You deserved it. You played a fantastic final.&quot;

Nadal collected the trophy and put his arm around Federer.
<span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;Roger, sorry for today. I really know how you feel right now,&quot; Nadal said. &quot;Remember, you're a great champion, you're one of the best in history.&quot;</span>

LOL! Yup, just the words the vanquished wants to hear from the conqueror after getting his [censored] whupped.

I'm sure Federer will get there eventually, just not against Nadal, who at the moment has him total psyched out. The way he collapsed in that fifth set was just mind boggling. He wants it too bad and the sobbing at the end was just over the top.
