If you think Rafa isn't gonna find a way to let Cilic back into this match , Well

Considering that Rafa is playing Indoor, almost at the end of the season and beating the USO 2014 Champion, the result of the three matches wasn't bad at all, isn't? :cool::plot :popcorn

Be interesting to see Rafa and Fed play again especially with Fed's willingness to be uber aggresive these days..maybe he can figure out a way to get out of the forehand to backhand rallies of death.

Only just started watching but Marty McFly is a decent little player. Takes the ball nice and early. Plays fast.

I am assuming you are a Fedfan, this court in Basel is totally Rafa proof, the balls are not bouncing high at all. Fed shouldnt experience any problems to his backhand. The Beloved will be Ok..

Doesn't get much closer than that last call. Great call by the line judge btw.

Federer and Nadal are my favorite players all time. I just love the way Federer plays especially his willingness to serve and volley and use the net game. And I'm not so sure, Nadal tends to steam roll Fed. I'll only believe it when I see it. Grant it Nadal has struggled more this year, and Federer plays different now then when they last played, he is even more aggresive I just don't know if that is enough to really counteract Rafa's defensive skills and grinding style of play. We will see if they end up playing each other if he can serve well enough to come to the net, if not Rafa wins I say...
