IT’S BEEN 5 YEARS SINCE FEDEDER AND NADAL PLAYED EACH OTHER IN THE US. THE LONG ANTICIPIATIED MATCH ENDED IN DISAPPOINTMENT FOR FEDERER AND NADAL FANS. NADAL DOMINATED THE MATCH AND WON 6-2 6-3.  FEDEDER JUST DIDN’T PLAY HIS BEST TENNIS TONIGHT.  WAS IT FEDEDER NOT BEING AT HIS BEST OR DID NADAL PREVENT HIM FROM PLAYING HIS BEST?  THE MATCH DEFINELY LEFT THE FEELING OF WANTING MORE, IT WASN’T WHAT FANS WANTED TO SEE.
NADAL AND FEDERER HAVE BEEN 1 & 2 FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, NOW THEY ARE 1 AND 3. DJOKOVIC HAS MOVED INTO THE #2 SPOT AND HAVE DEFEATED FEDERER IN THEIR LAST 3 MEETINGS. DJOKOVIC ALSO BEAT NADAL IN LAST WEEKS INDIANA WELLS FINAL; THIS WAS NADAL’S 1ST MATCH SINCE THE AUSSIE OPEN IN JAN.
NADAL WILL PLAY DJOKOVIC ON SUNDAY IN THE FINALS. DJOKOVIC IS PLAYING GREAT TENNIS AND IS 23 – 0 FOR THE YEAR. SUNDAY’S FINALS SHOULD BE A VERY EXPLOSIVE MATCH. YOU HAVE TO GIVE #1 NADAL THE EDGE, BUT HE WILL DEFINELY HAVE TO BRING HIS A GAME BECAUSE DJOKOVIC HAS STEPPED UP HIS GAME BIG TIME AND WANTS THE #1 RANKING.
