Nadal looking weary - lacking energy ...

Oh dear - 1st set to Fed.  Trouble is Nadal must be tired after yesterday. Unfortunately I think Andy would have been struggling too. Fed is on fire!

Nadal looks two steps slower than usual.

Fed's had a pretty easy tournament, plus he had a day's break before the SF. However Nadal breaks.

LOL. First time I've seen Federer fall over like that.

Federer appears to have imploded. Hilarity abounds.

Two sets in the same time it took for a set yesterday.

Lots of filthy tennis as well. Half the quality of the first semi yesterday.

2nd set Nadal. Sloppy play from Fed in this set. Hardly gripping stuff this. Not the first time a SF has been better than a final.

Okay ... 1 apiece, so honour satisfied. Wonder if Nadal can get up for it in the third. Agree with Boogers - not nearly as exciting as yesterday's first semi.

Yes, yes and Yes. Not so much flair,not so many spectacular shots and rallys - not a patch on our Andy.

Of the finalists over the last 20 years in this tournament 12 of 40 have gone onto reach the final at the next AO and 1 year has had the AO final. Though of those who get to the final of the AO, 9 of the 10 have gone onto win the final.

C'mon Rafa, please stay in this match. I can't handle Federer being smug over the last match of the year.
