the Nadal fan’s last hope is Tignor’s curse,,

Nick vs Roger in the finals.. Although Wacky Nick is very popular on this board but I Never jump on his band wagon.

I expect Marin to get begin to bounce the ball and play with nervousness. He will loose in straight sets unless Roger’s 1st serve is ill..

Winter is here but the CLAY is coming
Let's be real. The Nadal fan's last hope is Cilic playing out of his shoes. If he has a fantastic serving day, like he did in the USO semi, and he keeps himself aggressive and at the edge of his comfort zone, the way he did from mid-2nd set v. Nadal, he's got a shot. I agree it would also take Roger not having a great serving day and getting behind early.

The bookies give 1/4 odds to Fed and 15/4 odds to Cilic. Works out to about 80% chance for Fed and 20% chance for Cilic.

I thought Nadal was not in this final. So many posts on him. :confused:
Gone, but never out of the conversation. :D Tell me you're not thinking at least as much about Roger distancing himself from Nadal in the Slams race as you are about Roger beating Cilic. :popcorn

Plus, Federberg and I are having a sidebar tussle. It happens.

kinda feel this is a toss up. havent seen fed play as well as last year but hes more or less handled cilic except for the USO. and the cilic in rafa matched looked pretty close to USO cilic so idk hope fed pulls it out but not surprised if cilic wins
