Hello my love :hug: Aint seen you in a while. Im afraid today is going to be quite sad for you when Fed gets his arse whipped :devil:

Fed Breaks to 30 with forehand winenr 2-0 :(

its early days yet....

come on fed!!! :bow: :bow:

Hey scolios :hug:

Nadal nets a forehand Federer holds to 30

3-0

Very true and Rafa can sometims be a slow started like at the French Final he lost first set 6-1 Dubai he lost it 6-2 so still ages to go, he showing a few glimpses of good form in that last game.

I think this could be different. Don't forget that in the french final nadal was playing knowing he'd just beaten fed twice in a row. This time, nadal hasn't had the best ending to his season, so his confidence itsn't going to be quite as high, so i suspect that if Fed can put in a good first set, nadal may not be able to come back from that. however, (and i know it sounds like i'm hedging my bets) fed does have his nasty blips...often in the second set!

Nadal holds Federer leads 3-1

that looked like a great game :D

Federer holds to 15 with a forehand volley at full stretch

Can any of you actually SEE this? Following live scores is so tantalising!

Liam, I hope that both Fed and I are good losers :D but let's wait and see..

C'mon Fed!!!

I agree that his form isnt quite the same as when they played at the French, but in Dubai Nadal came into that final match with no real form and then dropped the first set 6-2 there I still feel this one has a long way to run but Federer is certainly hitting is very cleamly irhg tnow

Hi scolios - i can't see it :( Maybe when i'm grown up i'll get a TV...... ;)

I'm relying on Ark's live scores, as well as watching the numbers change.....ooooh....it's so exciting.... B)

Go Fed :bow: :bow: :bow:

Ark, you can see it - good, thanks for the comments so far

Hail Federer :bow: :bow: :bow:

oh good, there's a few more Fed fans arrived. I was beginning to feel out-numbered roflmao

Scorelines seem to suggest that nadal is getting in to his game now????

Nadal always seems to lose the first set easily against Fed !

Yeah, i agree. I think that Fed could actually have an easier time meeting Nadal here rather than in the final. Especially as fed doesn't tend to be consistent throughout his matches....

Federer holds from 15-30 down to lead 5-2

In that last game Nadal was timing his forehand much better and a few missed volleys from Federer

fed goes wide with backhand cross court Nadal holds to love

5-3 fed

That game ws a bit of a nail-biter - so Nadal is fighting fit again. just as long as Fed is fitter :pray:

easy hold there for nadal? Come on Fed :bow: :bow:

fed misses sitter of volley 0-40!!

oh!!! 3 Bps for nadal :(

vamos :bow: Federer nets forehand Nadal breaks to love

5-4 Federer

:( Dont lose it Fed ! :bow:

noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on Fed :bow: :bow: :bow:

I felt that was on the cards as Nadal has been playing Better but that was a poor game by Federer

0-15 Fed Nets forehand
0-30 Double Fault.
0-40 Misses sitting volley
Game Nadal Nets a short forehand.

No aces in that game.

:angry: fed, for goodness sake! C'mon, please...
