Have a good feeling about Fed's chances against Nole. Offcourse he has to bring his game from last couple of rounds.
Both have met in 2 SF & 2Finals this year. Fed has won both their SF matches (Dubai & Monte Carlo) and Novak has won their F matches (IW & Wim) however both were taken to the deciders. 3/4 matches they have played this year has been very close. Very interesting match & hope it is competitive..

A washed out 33 year old weak era champion will become No. 2 in couple of days. Gee Whiz!!

Roger takes the first set and got early break in set 2 ..

^^^ Who would have thunk, right? Fed in simply amazing form. Seems to have rolled back the years all over again. Hope he gets past the finish line without choking from hereon.

Very cunning hold there by Djoko. Fought tooth and nail to hold it. After all the effort, Fed still with only one break. Did Djoko just manage to wear him down a bit? Next few games will make it clear either which way.

Not watching it live but from the score looks like Novak is fighting hard and coming back strongly.. Roger shud get thru the line asap... Hold the serves Roger

Fed prevails. In straight sets. Unbelievable but then so was the tennis he produced. Djoko really pushed him to his limits in the last few games but this time he was up to the task and held his nerve. Brava!

Federer wins...

Well, I hope he doesn't lose to Simon after this string of amazing matches. That would truly be anti climactic.

^You just dont know. And its a day match. Federer's played all his matches in this tourney at night. We have seen him struggle for balance with a change in conditions. Toronto finals for example. Will not be surprised if that's the case tomorrow as well.

Yup, nailed it. On the flipside, it doesn't look like the wind is that bad at Shanghai vis a vis the North American courts. So let's see. He did win Cincy so maybe he can do a repeat tomorrow. Has not been troubled much by Simon in the past, even beat him at RG last year.
