Nadal fights back to take the 2nd set 6-2. Looks like the tie is swinging in favour of the younger man.
And Nadal takes the 3rd set 7-6 (7-5). Fair play to Federer for hanging on in there but will the loss that set be too much for him?
So it's to be a Nadal v Murray or Djokovic final. Fair play to Federer, he pushed Nadal all they way. I tipped Nadal in the prediction thread and I'm still tipping him to take the AO title.
Thanks for this ST, I heard on the radio at work it was a set each and then heard no more Looks like you may win the men's prediction and me the womens! You are aware what this outcome means aren't you??? Yes you will have to with me in the All British club! You have been warned
I shall keep my wits about me. I lived in Plymouth for a short while and I know what you Plymothian women are like
Thanks for the commentry, ST, I didn't get to see the match. Well, I think if Andy can get passed Djokovic, then I'll be quietly confident that he could take the title. I realise that I'm in a minority with my optimism. I see there's an Andy Murray thread on General Chat....I'm going to take a look.
I'm sure you could've used many other words to explain your experience of Genreal Chat but you're too nice
And about Fed vs Nadal, after Nadal won the 2nd set it always looked likely that he'd go on to win it. I was just really hoping Fed would push him hard and make him work for the win to possibly take a little bit out of him going into the final. Nadal did look good though so Murray or Djokovic will need to play very well to beat him
