He sounds like Speedy Gonzales.
He can speak English better than I can speak Spanish though.

I just said he will probably win. Pattern should follow 2002.

Barring fatigue, Rafa rolls Fed in the final playing to that level.
Fed wouldn't have beat either of these two tonight.

He will have a light session in the afternoon as usual
Women's will be. Selena will wipe the floor with Venus.
My heart bleeds Federer in the Men's and not just because I despise Rafa but Roger is one of my all time favourites.
Realistically however Rafa has a clear advantage over Federer.

In terms of the standard of the match I think it's right up there as some of the best tennis we've seen at the AO this era.
As an overall spectacle, sits somewhere amongst Nadal v Djokovic 2012 final, Verdasco v Nadal 2009 semi and Djokovic v Wawrinka 2013 fourth round as the best match at the AO this era for mine.
Just brilliance.

But then again, you've said a lot of things. Most of which have been well off.

No, I'm thrilled. You seem to have thrown your toys out of the cot.

I got 3/4 of the grand finalists correct.

The only one I'd have above it was the Nadal/Verdasco semi final

Heeeey welcome back.
How'd the match points for Rafa in the 4th and Grigor in the 5th go?

Federer v Safin 2005 Semi Final is the best I've seen down under but this ranks in the top 5 matches I've seen along with the other matches you've mentioned.

I don't think I'll ever rate a match higher than the '12 final for theatre to be honest. That final set was incredible. Phenomenal. It's the closest thing to a literal definition of an emotional rollercoaster that you'll ever get. It wasn't the highest quality, but it was the best example of two guys giving absolutely everything on a tennis court I have ever seen. I'll never forget the way I felt during that final set.

I agree with the people who are saying that Fed will get rolled on Sunday
