No problem BB. Tonight's match was great. Grigor did very little wrong, I feel if he got a decent return on one of those BP's he would've won it. Credit to Rafa for taking those points

So long, people! Thanks for the chat. See you (some of you) for the women's final, and all of you, I hope, for the FEDAL final!!

If Nadal wins this tournament he'll look back at those points he played at 3-4 15-40 in the fifth against Dimi as some of the greatest he's ever played.

Roger served at 52% in that final and it felt worse than that, he ended up having to take a lot off his serve just to land some in

You definitely won't be seeing me Moxie. I don't chat during the final when Rafa's playing

Even if he doesn't, he should be feeling pretty good, BS.

^ Are you actually worried about the match on Sunday? This would be like Roger playing Ferrer in a final

Yeah, and you worry about Berdych, so there it is.

Honestly had it not been for the marathon tonight I would have been very confident. I still favor Nadal, oiously

Berdych decked Roger a couple times in the last few years at slams. Roger hasn't beaten Rafa in 10 years and 2008 weak effort and all was the last time he was close

Nadal is the favorite, given the h2h, but one extra day of rest, at their advanced ages, makes a difference.

The marathon tonight will be barely a factor if at all. Nadal was flying over the court in the 5th set
