Federer should be able to win this, but he would have some sort of fear that he is going to play against a guy who beat him not so long ago, therefore i think we can see an upset in Nadal winning against Federer..

Its awesome watching both players, but the best thing is when you see the desire in Nadal's eyes. That being said, its obvious Federer wants to 1) beat Nadal since he's the only chink in his armour, and 2) make history, and intends on making this Wimbledon tournament his own. 4 in a row will be brilliant, and I don't think he's anywhere close to being done yet.
You'd have to back Federer, but boy does Nadal want it. Everyone doubted Nadal going into saying he was still a year or two away from being able to go far in a grass tournament, but he's proven everyone wrong.

I'm amazed at how many people have posted saying 'Nadal wants it more' or somehting like that. Just because he says stuff in interviews and pumps his fists and Federer doesn't does not mean that he's more determined.
Federer at the moment is probably the most dominant player in sport and probably in history, he's reaching ashtoninshing levels of skill and ability.
It would be a truly momentous day if Nadal can beat him.

I don't think anyone is saying Nadal wants it more, because its obvious Federer is determined to stamp his name in history as the greatest ever. However Nadal could easily have been satisfied with his clay accomplishments at this stage in his career, but he hasn't, and he wants this Wimbledon title more than many other 'clay specialists' (I say that lightly since the guy can play on all surfaces, he's just phenomenal on clay) we've seen in the past, who chucked in the towell when the going got tough.
If anything, Federer has a bigger point to prove in beating Nadal, since Nadal has had the better of him for a while now.

Yeah, I don't like Nadal. He's like Hewitt, but he's not Australian (Hewitt's only redeeming quality).
a lot of people on here got it right, federer takes it in 4! ok now a rivalry is on! and one more thing is for sure, that first set not withstanding(more nerves than anything else), nadal is a legit rival to roger on any surface with roger holding the edge on grass and faster hard courts and nadal holding the edge on clay and slower hard courts...not too much in it really....on a slight off-day one man would be able to beat the other even on his favourite surface....

Always good to see the poser lose, hope he pulls a muscle when he's wasting his time pumping up those biceps.

Federer hits the ball just as hard if not harder than he who thinks he's the Spanish Bruce Forsyth.
Hitting the ball hard has little to do with oversized muscles that are somewhat useless in tennis, otherwise everyone would have them.
