Aussie Tennis Open

Right lads, what are your picks?

My heart says Federer but my head says Nadal. Physically he is just so good.
 
2-2. Great match so far.

Still have an inkling that Rafa will win this, but I hope Roger can do it. You always fancy Rafa the longer a match goes on, and he has the psychological advantage over Federer after beating him so many times recently.
 
Same here, Rafa never stops. 62% serve and 2/2 bp converted that set! More of that please Fed.
 
The physical aspect will be huge because Rafa played a big 5 set match in the semi whereas Federer had more rest.

Everyone thought that before though, Rafa will be running on adrenaline and he'll only feel it after.
 
Fed looks knackered. Gotta step up now or it's over.
 
I don't see anything from Federer to suggest he thinks he can break Nadal. The way things are going he may struggle to hold serve. Nadal is incessant though, you have to admire the way he approaches the game.
 
Well played Nadal, deserves it. Fed fell apart in that last set, don't know why.
 
Brilliant final. Nadal deserves it. Federer has to look at himself though, he got himself into a good position against a player who, theoretically, was worse off physically, and he buckled. His physical conditioning isn't as good as Rafa's, but it's hard to see what he can do about that. This was probably as good a chance as he'll have all season to beat Nadal when it matters.

I think it's fair to say that even on his best day now, Federer may struggle against Nadal, given that he's beating him on his own surfaces.
 
Yeah mmannnnn ,that's 200euros for me. Thank you Rafa,great player.
These 2 players are way and way better than the rest,there is a huge gap.
 
That was ridiculously poor last set by Federer. Especially if you consider it came off after he won the fourth. After he went 4-2 up in fourth, it seemed like Nadal was almost throwing fourth away to save himself for the fifth. Which I thought was crazy but I guessed it paid off.
 
52% first serve and 64 unforced errors really killed Federer.
 
Rafa played the big points better, pulling it out the bag all the time. Fed had 6 bp's in that 3rd set and lost it, had one last push in the fourth but then had nothing left for the final.

Rafa needs testing though, amazing athlete.
 
Disappointing fifth set, some really poor Tennis played in truth. Nadal is quite an amazing athlete.
 
Rafa is a colossus, happy for him but feel slightly bad for Federer. He's better than the rest but looks a shadow of his self when against Nadal. Just can't seem to find that chink in his armour.

Nadal is the one to beat, amazing athlete.
 
I agree with you guys,the 5th was really poor compared to the rest but maybe Federer psychologically gave up. If it wasn't for Nadal, Roger would have crushed that Sampras record and it must get to him.
On the other hand what can you say about Nadal,the guy is mentally on another level.
