I'll be hitting the sack soon to getup early and get the setup ready. Got a good crew coming over to watch the match.

I can't wait. I think you can make the argument this is Fed's most important match of his life. I say this as a full on Rafa lifer who forever said Fed's run was partly in result of the week competition. He wins tomorrow and he's the GOAT.

Period, no discussion.

This is absurd. If this is the case, why has the guy consistently gone into the semis and finals of grand slams, even during the era of Djoker, Nadal, and Murray, and has continued to win Master events in his early/mid-30's, at an age when most tennis players are well on the decline and unable to compete with significant results on the pro tour.

If Fed's run was the result of weak competition, then the same should be said of the run of Djoker and Nadal since apparently EVERY one else sucks in this era as the "Big 4" seem to have won everything in the recent years.

GOAT will always be up for discussion, regardless as to what happens today.

When Federer last won Wimbledon, tennis magazine had an article that said that win finally sealed Federer's claim as GOAT. Apparently not. And even if Federer wins today, some will ALWAYS point to the lob-sided record v. Nadal. Since Federer isn't playing Nadal today, those some people will continue to point to Federer's losing record against Nadal.
