I'm not into Xisca as I don't like the poodle hair look, but she is a classic Spanish beauty. Not sure about Grigor's current slam piece, but he has run through top shelf women around the world for years.

You should see the Serbian fans that follow Djokovic. They are downright scary. My bro saw this pack of them at Indian Wells and was like WTF is this? I had seen them in Toronto the year before and was like "Serbian mafia."

Y'all think Uncle Tony kind of ruined Nadals legacy? Over working Nadal prob ruined his chance at being argued as the best of all time. Glad to see him have a new coach and not practicing as hard. It's obviously showing

Even though I already know the result, is the match worth going back to watch?

I'm so incredibly excited (and worried for my sleep schedule) these next couple nights.

As a Fed fan, I know that he doesn't match up well with Nadal, but he has a few things that might help:

(1) the court - anything is better than playing the all-time dirtballer on clay;

(2) the draw - Fed got to play his semi a day earlier; and

(3) fatigue? - Rafa is such a mental monster that it probably doesn't matter but his almost five hour semi looked much tougher than Fed's five-set but only three-hour match.

It doesn't get any better than this!

Only hope for Fed is he is hitting the backhand better with the newer racquet and perhaps he gets a cool night with a low bouncing ball. Apparently, he has an abductor injury, so that probably means curtains for Rogi.

You think?

You mean you don't have an algorithm to tout that explains that he will win?

I stopped playing and watching tennis before Federer won his last Wimbledon title. It got depressing not seeing him win all the time because he was my favorite.
I am so glad that he is back in the final, at his age.
Federer vs Nadal is always a great match. Win or Lose for Federer, I'll tune in to see him try to add on to his record.

Only player to ever win multiple GS on all 3 surfaces. Could also become the only player to ever win multiple titles at all 4 GS events.

#2 in GS wins, did it while playing against Fed in his peak and then Djok in his peak.

Also in GS finals

4-3 v Djok
6-2 v Fed

This. If Rafa is in the form he was against Dimitrov I honestly can't see Fed winning more than a set. Rafa's defense is at an insane level right now. This is the best he has looked in a long arse time.

He really had no chance of beating Nadal anyway. If abductor injury true, he has zero shot regardless of how tired Nadal may be after last night.

That said, why does the Australian Open play 2 women's semifinals and 1 men's SF on one night followed by the last men's SF on another night. Just really makes no sense to me. None of the other GS's do it that way.
