Have to feel for Dimitrov 2 Break points at 4-4 couldn't convert and it's all over 5 mins later
Hopefully he can live up to his potential this year I'll definitely have to get some of what Nadals been taking while he's been laid up!

I am pretty sure my memory serves me correctly. I would agree though that Nalda is the favourite, his relentless style could overpower Federer at 35. Part of me wants fed to win as it would surely be his last slam but also happy for Nadal as he seems a nice guy too.

Grumpster: The grass head to head cant be 0-2 as Nadal beat Fed in the epic 2008 final but Fed won the previous 2 finals I think.

Reckon this will be Federer's last year but he wont say it as he wont want the pressure on.
Great to see Nadal v Federer probably for the last time in a Grand Slam final.

11 meetings in slams, 9 wins for Rafa.
Clay - 5-0
Hard - 4-0
Grass - 0-2
Have to say that at 5 years younger, he has to be the bet.

There was a time when betting on Nadal to beat Federer in a slam was like printing money.
Markets have Nadal slight favourite at 1.82.

Just to add to the tension of Rafa serving to stay in the 3rd set, some selfish fucker has had a heart attack in the crowd!!

Eurosport do a great job with the coverage using John McEnroe and Mats Wilander as the expert match commentators.
Presume BBC will show the men's final live ... or do they only do it when Sir Andrew of Murrray is playing in it?

The BBC's coverage of this is rank. 45 minute highlights show with commentators who sound as though English is their second language. The BBC might as well wind up the 'sport' department and just call it the football and snooker department.
