Good man Fed. Hopefully can take advantage of his next break point.

vienne86

Federer need to break back.....now.

current ue count Fed 53 Rafa 21

great point by Fed to get to 30 all. crucial point now

walshb

Fed's play is still off the charts.

What was the gunge the Ballboy had to mop up on Nadal's baseline?

vienne86

Federer just doesn't seem able to go for those shots Nadal puts out wide.

**** it anyway. Another quick hold now hopefully.

Some tension. Will Fed get a break point again... Nadal is just so strong in those moments though. Never has there been a mentally stronger tennis player.

vienne86

If Federer doesn't break back now, I can't see it happening.

Federer is holding serve with relative ease. He'll possibly get further opportunities to break on the Nadal serve.

RosyLily

Big ol' shout there from Federer!!

MisterAnarchy

Federer needs to do better on the Nadal serve.

fed has to risk going for a winner on the break point I think

Alfred Borden

Deserved

RosyLily

I forgot how nerve-racking it is watching these two battle it out in finals.

Unearthly

Good stuff. Back in it

vienne86

Yes! He had so many opportunities in that set, if he hadn't broken back, I would have said that was that.

Game on!

RosyLily

FEDERER BREAKS!! IT'S 3-3.

Where's my paper bag??

LuckyGent88

Get in. Now a nice comfortable quick hold please

Stheno

Very tempted to turn on the tv. I'd hate to miss the ending.

Great match. Federer looked out but back with break. Mighty finish now.

second serve ace!
whatever happens here these guys have given us some of the best GS clashes ever, including the best match ever - the Wimbledon final in 2008.
Savour the points here - it's probably the last time we'lll see a match like this between these two.

josip

Go Roger

vienne86

Federer on a great streak here.....needs to keep it up.

JP Liz V1

Epic match between two greats

Unearthly

Crazy momentum changes throughout this match

vienne86

Nadal is usually so good when he's down......and now serves double.

Stheno

40 nil to Federer on Nadal serve

Nadal having a horrible game here - not normal

seligehgit

Looks ominous for Nadal.

walshb

Wow...Fed is clearly the better players in this match.

vienne86

Nadal just realised he has to hammer Federer's forehand.

Unearthly

Jesus Federer.

Shane St.

Momentum shifts bound. Hope Federer does it. This 8th game is key

vienne86

What was that? Second serve chance blown by Federer.

vienne86

Brilliant rally!

thecretinhop

Going mad here dog barking the lot!
