Federer will still win it.
Nadal always plays well, at the same brilliant level all the time, however if Federer plays like he can he won't have much of an answer to it.
His forehand is incredible,obviously been copying my motion.

I keep altering my mind who I want to win!
Al,ost every point is so well fought for they will be bloody knackered soon! Nadal is more of and all action chase everything type player and Federer imo has a little more know how. This may favour Federer later on.
Some of these rallies are awesome!

I want Federer to win really, he deserves about 10 titles for his standard of play, it's just that he's competing against a young spaniard who's rather good and is bound to win Wimbledon within the next couple of years.
He would've won about 5 Roland Garros' if it wasn't for Nadal ;D , i bet he feels like snapping his knees in two.

nadal apparently doesnt like playing on grass though. didnt seem to bother him in the 1st set!!! It's more like he's literally unstoppable on Clay but brilliant/ slightly beatable on all other surfaces.. With a game like he has, he'll be brilliant on all surfaces but simply unbeatable on Clay, what with how high the ball bounces and the speed of it, his topspin forehand bounces near people's heads ;D |

Nadal doesn't look to have been bothered by the break in play. I have a sneaky feeling that may not actually be Federer out there playing........  Goarrrnnnn Quentin lad! |

I knew Fed wouldn't go out without a fight.
50/50 now .

If Federer can break Nadal within the first five or six games of this set it'll be very interesting. I really hope it goes to five sets and then I'll decide who I want to win!

Fucking hell, when Federer rips that forehand- it's brilliant to watch.

These two are not only the two best in the world now they're arguably the two greatest ever! Stunning stuff! The spin and racquet head control of Nadal is more like you'd expect from playing table tennis!

Federer is certainly up there, but Nadal will have to win another 8 majors to get anywhere near the all time list.
On clay- he's the best ever though, bloody crazy when he plays on that surface!
It's 2 sets to 1 in favour of Nadal, on serve in the 4th .

You will struggle to find a game with as many high quality rally's as these two are having.
Fitting final for what's been overall a good tournament, the likes of Murray, Djokovic and Davydenko have it all to do if they want to break these two's dominance.

Murray and Djokovic could make it the top four, they certainly have the talent .
At the moment, it's Fed and Nadal with Djokovic just behind them.
Then Murray's just behind him, but within a couple of years there's going to be four players with a realistic chance of winning every grand slam they enter(Apart from Clay of course) .

Its scary that they can still play at this level and apparently have no fear! They certainly aren't holding back on their shot making. I want a fifth set!!!
