Federer looks human, for the first time in a long time. If not for a major choke by Davydenko in the 3rd set tiebreak, I think Federer's run at the Australian Open would already be over.
I'm putting my money on Nalbandian - if he survives his semifinal match with Baghdatis. If Baghdatis upsets Nalbandian, then I think nerves will finally get the best of Baghdatis and Federer will take him to school.

It's not because Federer is my favourite player that I bet on him. SImply, I think that the final will be Federer-Nalbandian and Federer will win. Why? Think about it, Nalbandian needed 5 sets and tie break to win Federer in Masters Cup and Federer was injured in the foot. So? lol, Nalbandian is playing very well, I love him, but I think that Federer will win, because, even doing lots of mistakes recently, he keeps winning, which means that he is not so bad at the moment. there are some parts of the game that he plays very well, and his problem, I think it's only concentration. He is not concentrated, but I think he will get concentration before the final.
About Baghdatis, I would like very much that he could win the Aussie Open, because I like him very much and I'm always for the young players. If the final is Baghdatis-Federer, I would like Baghdatis to win. But I think that is very hard, because, even playing very well, Baghdatis is not at Nalbandian's level. But who knows! there are surprises!
