Stan better come in with a clear game plan. By that I'm mean getting aggro by kicking over Rafa's water bottles, hurrying him at every occasion and complaining to the umpire non stop at stalling. Worth a shot anyway :D Make him serve first too!

I want to believe in Stan, but while I feel that he'll fare better than Roger, he'll still lose in 4 sets.

Winning a slam the first time you make it to the finals? I don't think so, Stan.

I voted Rafa in 4, but that was being conservative.

Nadal's blister did not seem too bothersome last night which is good for the final.

There's still a ton of Nadal fans. And trust me, Nadal2005 is not anyone you wanted for to stay around.

His only chance is to play OutStanding.

If Nadal wins this match, he would extend his own streak of consecutive years of at least winning one major to 10 straight years.

By the way, Nadal has only lost one set in Grand Slam finals against players not named Federer or Djokovic. In fact, ever since he lost the first set against Puerta in his first Grand Slam final, he has won 12 straight sets against players not named Federer and Djokovic.

So, Stan would have a huge task just to take a set from him.

Dimitrov took a set, why not Stan ??
