Going to be an interesting final. Rafa the obvious favourite going in... but you never know which Stan will turn up on on the day..
I like Stan, but I'd love to see Nadal win another slam. It's been too long. With Federer getting the Australian and Nadal getting the French - it's great preparation for both going into Wimbledon.
Djokovic and Murray look off the boil, be great if we could see another Federer vs Nadal Wimbledon final

Outside of the clay season, Nadal's been rather dodgy in finals and Stan usually turns up in these matches. Really nervy about this!
I know it's difficult to compare across eras, but how does Nadal compare to the clay court players of the past? Is he the undisputed best ever?
Yep
Easily
I expect Rafa to win in 4
What's up with he delay? Weather related?
So annoying that game. So many chances and terrible errors.
Calm down.
Break up
Made it back in now. Come on Rafa
Great first set from rafa
This is too easy for Rafa.
Looking good for Rafa.
Way too many unforced errors by Stan, you don't stand a chance against Nadal if you keep doing that for the entire match.
Nadal on clay is just amazing, love this aggressive approach of him.
wow
Think Stan doesnt have a strong enough serve too to make it difficult for Rafael. They arent really dangerous.
Nadal is on one here.
This could be a quick one. He's just running Stan into the ground.
That return by nadal 
Christ
ChristIt's really effective but I really hate the serve and approach the net play, especially when players do that for their entire serve, the whole match.
Wawrinka is already mentally defeated and he won't be turning the ship around if his mind is already gone, especially against a laser focused Rafa on clay.
Outrageous shot.
Wow!
That winner Outrageous.
Outrageous.Hold shit that was ludicrous.
La décima is very near.He is inmense today
I'm already dreaming of a Federer vs Nadal final at Wimbledon.
I'd be fine with Nadal losing in first round of Wimbledon.
Yeah, I might watch the '08 final again next week just to get in the moodDon't even, just one last time for old times sake
Nadal has been on point so far today. Running Wawrinka ragged
2-0
Vamos! One more set.
That shot.
Stan has played something like twice the tennis in the tournament than Rafa has. He's exhausted and Rafa, who hasn't yet lost a set all tournament, looks fresh. Shouldn't be long.
It's alright, so has Stan.
