I see Nole in the final too. If anything, his chances to beat Nadal are a bit bigger. It's a different situation than last year. Anyway they're about to start and the match should be high class.

I say Federer in 3 sets. :) Just have that funny feeling. Its a bit windy and he had that match with Tsonga. Wind will neutralize his serve a bit, because of his toss. Fed has a more consistent wind game, with exception of the Backhand, that will shank with wind.

If Federer can go through the first set at 6-2 or so, it will be over fast. If he will lose the first set - it will be a long match.
Level 13 Edberg and counting...

djarvik :D

Nole's serve is outstanding and he's playing an almost error-free and variable game. Federer has to take an awful lot of risk with his forehand and his UE's are piling up. First set 6-4 Nole and totally deserved.

Yeah, I see.

I still think, considering 18 UE from Fed, this will get tight. His serve percentage will go up and Djoker wont serve 75% for the next few sets.

Indeed, a great start for Djokovic.

The first set reminded me of last year's first set at the French Open: Federer with the early break, Djokovic breaks back, then Djokovic has a chance to break for the set. Last year Federer saved these break points with great serving, this year not.

Then in the second set Djokovic went away at the beginning, this year it seems to be so the case as well.
