| Federer has won 13 Grand Slam EVENTS,ie, thirteen of the events that make up A Grand Slam. You're right that he hasn't yet won A Grand Slam - not many people have. |

It should be a good match... assuming that Nadal isn't exhausted after last night. I knew it would be both of them. I hope it's the last time both of them are in a grand slam final this year, I am quite a bit sick of them.
But go Rafa! I'd love to see him win his first Aust. Open |

to be honest i am not sure I'll watch the final.
Is it just me, or is anybody else fed up of hearing the names FEDERER...NADAL...FEDERER ...NADAL...FEDERER...NADA L...
FEDERER...NADAL...FEDERER ...NADAL, ad infinitum.
Whenever one turned on the television to watch a match not involving either player, Commentators would rave on and on.
Yeah at the start I hoped we would see new names as the winners (I.e. Andy Muzza Murray and Elena Dementiava) as I felt (still feel) that tennis needs it. So it follows then I do not have a personal favourite either way.
My prediction: Roger Federer in 4 sets, hahahaha |

| As I have stated earlier I think Safina will be a bit stronger than Williams.I believe Nadal is tougher when it comes to digging deep.It would have been nice if the semis had been played the same day but eh that has happened before.Nadal will win in a very close match. |

Definitely be watching the two finals, Peen. I'll have a 'nanny nap' just to make sure I'm alert....lol.
I think Serena will win fairly easily.
The men's is much harder to predict. Two different personalities/temperament s, and it'll be interesting to see how each handles the pressure.
Whilst I would still like Fed to win, I won't be surprised if Nadal does. |

beco
so sorry you didnt manage to see the whole match.
Verdasco appears to be a very nice character. No tantrums when he made a mistake or lost a point.
Look forward to seeing lots more of him in the future.
Will you be watching the finals and do you have an idea who might win each final.
Enjoy anyway... |

incidently what's this got to do with the thread?
Well Zedhead, it's not excatly the final you or I wanted (for different reasons) but it's what MOST TENNIS FANS AND COMMENTATORS WANTED !!!

| Because he has dominated Fedex more and more since he came on the scene.Te other reason is I can't stand Federer.I would go for Djerkovic over Fedex if that was the choice. |

| knowledge is not arrogance-both your comments and those of suishiboy do not reflect a solid grammatical grounding. However, that is not the issue-my initial comment reflected an historic knowledge and understanding of the ebb and flow of the appearance of perceived new tennis "stars" |

Arrogant twirp, aren't you???
Blood "may" be used as collective noun. "New blood" is singular in your sentence.
I really dont give a flying fetus what you think. Just keep posting and show how truly moronic you are.
Nadal and Mike Tyson in drag to win the singles BTW |
