[shayan20]

federer aces: 16
roddick: 8

can you believe it?
he's aced double that of roddicks

[G0happy]

Final score between Federer and Roddick:

6-2, 7-5, 7-5

Despite Andy loosing to Roger yet again, he showed signs of a whole different player this year and we will still have to look out for him.

Andy is back

^ Yeah hes not the same kid who just yells and gets frustrated.
He has shown some great discipline and I actually really like his personality, and PLAY of course I was routing for him to beat fed but oh well.
My boy RAFA today, i cant watch AGAIN Ill prolly stay up for the final if nadal is in it, if its just too late ill watch the re run

actually he's worse now
at least against federer he said the f world couple of times and yelled and he got a code of conduct warning from the umpire
andy at his best is still federer's little finger imo

i hope roddick either goes 5 sets all up to 7-5 or tie breaks and wears the crap out of federer or just straight up beats him, that way, nadal could breeze through the final as well

Isnt it ironic that the exact opposite of what u want happened??

Federer has breezed thru and gotten better and better as the tournament has progressed where as Nadal struggled to win his semi final after playing for nearly 5 hours.

I hope Federer wins his 14th grand slam in Melbourne and offcially becomes the greatest of all time in my city

the man is a god

i know i was thinking the same exact thing as i was watching. i was in shock, although he played well, if you look at his stats, he had more first serve points than his other games, not considering the game was longer, talking about percentages.

Hopefully the wear and tear will wear off and rafa can win another grand slam against federer.

[teammelli34]

WOW GO NADAL!
his match today was great, verdasco is one great player.

[K. Nader]

I heard that Sampras send Federer a text message today wishing him good luck in the finals.

[teammelli34]

Prediction:

Nadal comes out firing, winning 6-3 in first set and then wins 7-6 in the second set.
Federer then wins the next two sets 6-2 and 6-4
Then Nadal wins 9-7 in the last set.

It will be much like wimbledon (yeah, that good ) and nadal will come out on front again.

[shayan20]

verdasco was amazing, he could have beaten nadal had he made less errors, but it was a good fight between the 2 spanish.

federer's job isn't that hard to beat nadal

[MoJo23]

Verdasco is my new favorite player!

[teammelli34]

So I am just going to wait for the re run, and not look at the score before, so its still a really exciting match for me.
