i know roddick is overrated and is not even deserving of being a top seed at times, but did u see how fed man handled him? I think form and confidence are a huge checkmark for him here... i think u have to throw out value here and ask yourself who will more then likely win..
What's wrong with Nadal's form and confidence?
You do realize what a major relief it is to win a 5+ hour 5 set match? You gain more confidence knowing you have gone the distance and prevail. How would you feel if you played that long, trained that hard, went through the tourney that far to lose on in the 5th set?
How would you feel if you were grinding and toughening it out for 5 hours and then win?
Federer is very calm but it can also be mistaken for laziness.
Nadal you can see his intensity in EVERY GAME he plays, be it first round, second round, etc.
Federer has always dominated Roddick so the comparison on their h2h should be thrown out the window...
Nadal is that thorn on Federer's butt. He has emerged at the wrong time in Fed's eyes, had Nadal not been around the last 4 years, Fed would have won a complete grand slam by now.
There is no value on Fed because you have yet to poin tout any decent factors to paying that sort of amount of juice.
I've seen enough of Federer and enough of Nadal to know each other's games well enough. Heck you might want to check up on Federer's line vs Nadal in Wimbledon.
Reading the Australian press and many blogs, there are a lot of upset individuals in regards to the Women's finals.
Another quick match is not what the organizers want.
