Two clown names to what is potentially a mugfest here 
. I think that Djoker will edge it this year. Last year Fed was serving and playing very well and Djoker was expected to beat him. Djoker was hogging the limelight the entire year for his incredible run of victories and I have a feeling fed did not like that one bit. This explains his "gesture" after winning that match. People were discounting him and expecting a novak nadal finals. He was very determined to take a punch at novak's ego and remind everyone of his presence. This year, Djoker although still favourite, seems to have lost a little of his unbeatable aura and in fact was on the ropes twice, 0-2 against seppi and 4 MPs down against Tsonga. He will go into this match 1) with revenge on his mind and 2) less complacent than last year, which is good for him IMO. For Fed, he has nothing to prove as people are now giving him a much better chance of beating novak than he had last year. I'm waiting to see how the match starts but if i had to choose, its novak for me. GL All

laying fed 3-0 is the bet IMO

Federer statistically is not as good as Djokovic on clay. BUT Djokovic has come off two very long matches, and now has to beat Federer, so that could level the two of them a bit. Federer has dropped a number of sets though in this tournament to players he should have beaten easily. Whether that is a good or bad thing is another matter.

I know I would prefer to see Federer v Nadal final.
|

By:
Fed is not looking like a winner today from his facial expression
|
|
By:
anyway I expect an awesome match
|
|
By:
the silly commentator on ITV is so silly, he thought the delay was because Fedrer called a trainer! LOL
|

By:
****ing horrible ramp Inverdale
|
|
By:
Djoker will feel like he has a second chance given to him coming back from the dead against tsonga
|
|
By:
ha ha, ITV 4 ramping there and said that there was gonna be a delay because Roger was calling for the trainer because he must have pulled something during that warm up - 2 seconds later they say "oh, no it's just cuz of the rain"
|

By:
cant believe the crowd is so empty....

Inverdale seems particulary clueless
|

By:
Djoker in 4 sets for me. then we have the final the whole world is waiting for, with a massive achievement at stake for both : 7th FO for rafa, GS for Djoker. there is no other possibility, tennis gods already chose it has to be 2012 final.

That would be great. I don't have ITV anyway since I'm not in the UK and would mean less MM on here. |

I'm no tennis expert, but he has said a few things even i know to be nonsense .Said Rafa was going for his 7th consecutive final Seems he can't even be arsed to check Wikipedia |

i wouldnt make it as a presenter to be honest, i dont have the good looks.

By:
rain at this rate i wont see any footy today
 |

By:
damn no more rain pls.... i want to watch euro

By:
you dont need looks - just plaster your face with fake tan, stick an old mop on your head and say 'he knows his way around a grass court' a thousand times a day, and they'll consider replacing Sue Barker with you.

Expected odds to shorten slightly again if it rains now. Fast and dry court is Rogers main weapon to increase his serve. Otherwise he could easely turn into that UE machine we saw vs del potro.

Just missed the end of the Nadal match, from what it seems he looked very good?
