Ive watched federer for the past year and he has made so many unforced errors and played so crap.

However ive watched him all tournament and he has player the best ive ever seen him.

He owned Roddick in the Semi-final, Roddick didnt play bad, Federer just played awesome.


Federer in 3 sets against Nadal

Could happen. Plus, Nadal doesn't have the advantage of a purposely slowed down grass court (big reason why he won Wimbledon).

Yes obviously Uncle Toni pulled a few strings, you must have someone on the inside

Still funny how Fed won his 5 wimbledons after they had slowed down the grass

Apparently they've been slowed since then. Clay court pros are, with good reason, scared of a fast grass court. :p

Still it was only slow last year, clearly in 2007 it was still fast...enough (just)

Anyways, he doesnt have much of a chance on Sunday because of his legs and the unlucky scheduling. One can always hope though.

Well best of luck to him. I'm just hoping Feds gets his 14 grand slams. Lord knows he deserves it.

Yep, shame it probably won't be another classic, but should make their GS rivalry even better now that its worked its way onto another surface

I dont think so...they both made it to semi-finals last year so the amount of points Fed will gain on Nadal is equivalent to the difference between winner and RU i.e. in 2009 W gets 2000, RU gets 1200 = 800 pts. Currently Nadal is leading by 2460 pts.

I don't think this system is very fair to be honest, the pts gap is just too much, RU should get 1400
