You must not know the rules, then.

I don't recall Nadal consistently going over the time limit to serve , especially considering the wind and noise from the audience throughout the game.
He did. Odd that Federer didn't, considering the conditions were the same for him.

Quote:
He got one code violation - which even the commentators thought was harsh at the time.
What, Henman and Castle? Yes, a fine pair those two are.

Quote:
Yes Federer did seem agitated once or twice in the final set by the length of time Nadal was taking to serve, but I'm sure it was all within the laws of the game.
It wasn't. You didn't even need a stop watch to catch him. It was quite ridiculous. The inexperienced umpire simply didn't do his job. I don't expect he will be allowed to umpire another GS any time soon.
