fact is, federer is the most variable player ever. and i'm sure he will have a perfect weapon to defuse gonzalez's forehand. maybe with his short and deap slice in the half court. i'm sure gonzalez will make much more unforced errors tomorrow. tommy haas did one big mistake, he tried to hit more and more stronger and overpowered. this is one favourite mistake which you could see very often: if you feel, you have no chance, you try to hit more stronger and try to hit the lines. that's wrong!!!! and federer knows that.
look at the final sharapova and williams. did you see any slice of maria to defuse the speed of the rally????????? no!!! she wanted to fight back with more stronger hits ..... but that wasn't possible against serena.
federer exactly knows, he won't be able to compete with the amazing forehand of gonzalez....so what to do???...... right, you must not overpower, you have to make the rally slower and play more deap slices. i'm sure that will be the tactics for federer in the final.
of course the daily form is very important!!!!
