if it is a roger-rafa final, roger will get the shakes again and rafa will become the 1st player in the open era to win each major at least 2 times...as a roger fan, that will be difficult to watch...

I know it's pedantic, but four 'players' have already achieved that.

Didn't think we'd ever get this close to a Roger-Rafa final again, or a Williams-Williams one for that matter. Might not end up happening of course, but still been a very unexpected throw back so far.

Serena eats fairy tales for breakfast.

So a Williams sisters final.

Not sure if 2017 or 2007.

Makes a bit of a mockery of women's tennis that two women in their mid-30's are playing off for a final.

Hoping Venus can do it. What a story after all her health issues.

Absolutely incredible what the Sisters have done for the game. They aren't my favourites, but their achievements and longevity is remarkable.

Some brilliant rallies already.

Won't it be a mockery of mens tennis also if the final is Federer v Nadal?

Yeah, true.

But it isn't confirmed yet. Plus Nadal's at least 5 years younger than Serena.

Looks like we have a 5 setter on our hands here

Fed express rolling back the clock with those volleys

Fair old game this

 

[DriveClub]

Federer seriously out of steam

Awesome comeback from Stan.

Trouble is, both of them have taken MTOs and might struggle in the final. Rafa is the worst player you could hope to face when not at a 100% physically.

Don't worry nadal won't make it to the final, dimitrov is too good

 

[Burgey]

Rage, rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Ok, now just don't choke.

Ok, now just don't choke.

After US Open 2011 SF, I never take anything for granted as far as Federer's concerned.

 

[Burgey]

God damn.
