Nadal 2.0 - flatter serve, more aggressive to keep the points short, going to the net a lot more. Has destroyed everybody so far. The next generation have a long way to go. Novak - 60% of the world is covered by water, the rest by Djokovic. They don’t call him the wall for nothing. He smashed his 1/2 final opponent today only losing 4 games. Sunday final will be brilliant. Fed 20 Nadal 17 Novak 14 If Nadal wins this he would be the first man in the open era to win every Slam twice! Fed and Novak have only won the FO once - mainly because of Nadal.

Both players playing brilliantly, really looking forward to the final.
Will be cheering on Novak of course.

Murray probably gone.
Fed (37 yo) another year and a half maybe. Tennis will be fooked when Djoko and Nadal retire. Djoko nearly 32 years old, Nadal nearly 33. Can’t see fans (and sponsors) getting too excited about GS finals involving Zverev/Tsitsipas/Thiem/Medvedev/Goffin/ Khachanov. The likes of Dimitrov/Cilic/Nishikori/Raonic/Delpo/Isner/ Anderson just couldn’t consistently challenge the Big 4. Kyrgios has issues which is a shame. It’s been a cakewalk to the final for Djoko and Nadal in Australia, not good for the best of the rest. |

Very mature performance- should have won in straight sets, blew 3 match points and Kvitova came back to level. She managed to get it together and win the 3rd set. No.1 in the world too.

Desperate start from Nadal. Badly needs a couple of big points and a game on the board to get into his stride.

Make that 2 hrs if it keeps going like this. Can Nadal use his new shorter point style against the ordinary players and then go back to his normal style against the big two?

Novak lost 1 pt on serve in that first set.
Nadal really needs to step this up but Novak is playing his best tennis from the start.

The French is obviously a different kettle of fish, but if he stays fit it's definitely possible. He looks stronger and sharper than ever as well, which is pretty scary considering it was never really a weak point of his

Seven times in a row he's beaten Nadal on a hard court without losing a set
 . That 10/11 now looks like it was a great bet.
