Thanks for the sticky ice. 
At least 3 years.
Rafa and No-Joke will be great but No-Joke is taking NO prisoners as of late. I'm thinking straights.

Tomorrows match is the exact opposite of tonight's for me. Huge Nadal and Federer fan, not much love for Murray or Djokovic

Can't stand Andy Murray. I hope it's 6-0 6-0 6-0.

Even though this was 4 sets, they were long sets for the most part and Rafa is going to be tired.

Well he played great tennis this tourney, he killed himself this match, but still showed signs that he has it.
Only way he can beat Nadal is straight sets though, he could never hang with his endurance. Other opponents don't move nearly as well as Nadal so they probably don't get on the end of nearly as many of Fed's shots as Nadal does.
But Fed absolutely refuses to switch up his style against Nadal and it's killing him.

That was fun to watch!

Same here. ZERO chemistry. I wish this had been the final.

I've never seen someone like Rafa's stamina. He'll be fine throughout. Novak is just playing a sick game right now and that will come down to mental toughness and shot placement. Rafa's endurance won't play a factor. IMO of course.

He just played a 4.5 hour battle 2 nights ago.
Djokovic is unbelievably good right now though, even if Nadal was completely fresh I don't know if he could beat Djokovic.

Novak could win the calendar slam.

Well Federer hung tough and gave a good fight, he just simply shot himself out of this match. Missed way too many forehands and stunk it up on serve
Thats the usual script of Fed-Nadal matches. Fed always starts great like he has a plan in mind, Nadal slowly claws back and waits for Fed to bury himself with unforced errors. Being a Federer fan it is painfully unwatchable. Nadal's now 8-2 v Fed in Grand slams.

Yeah fed will be around. He's on the decline yet he still got to the semis without sweating much.

It's really fun when you start getting a grasp on the personalities too. I am glad you found it!

He had Nadal in the corner and sent a forehand from the baseline right back up the middle which Nadal barely reached and skied a lob way up in the air which landed on the baseline, but Fed was too slow/lazy to run behind the ball and instead opted for an angled overhead shot rather than a simple forehand from the baseline.

It drives me insane.

Fed is extremely pumped from winning the first set, he then breaks Nadal first game of the second set and is serving with tons of momentum and playing extremely well only to then get broken right back.
That was the backbreaker. He never was the same.
