Of course I want Nadal to win every match but after seeing him win his 12th French Open title (and 18th Grand Slam overall) and after watching him lose in the first week at Wimbledon for a while I'm happy to see him healthy and competing with the best on grass of all time. Sucks that he lost but I'd rather him lose to Federer than Rosol or Darcis.
I'm conflicted for Sunday's final, on one hand I like Federer more than Djokovic BUT if Federer wins he will take over #2 spot in the rankings and most likely Nadal will be the 3rd seed for the US Open. I just want to see an epic 5 setter that goes 5 hrs and we talk about it for years.

Roger really adjusted well after that point and made life difficult for Nadal.
Even with Novak being the odds on favourite here this year, I still say Federer takes the Final on Sunday given how well he is serving and how well he has been able to adjust to different styles of opponents this year.
Novak has still yet to really be tested at all, nor has he faced anyone with a legitimate weapon for a serve like Roger.

I noted that earlier, and someone responded that this is only true for Wimbledon. If you look at the last few months, he's been just as solid and beaten everyone, this tournament is just a continuation. Which is a fair point.
I dunno, I hope Roger wins. Ideally you'd like to see him finish with 10 of these, if at all possible.

It's funny to think the crowd will be a huge part of Sunday, but I hope the crowd knows being ridiculous as they've been in previous Roger-Novak finals will only help Novak. We all know he feeds off being the villain. Crowd should flip the script and be overzealous in supporting Novak, maybe he'll be lost with that happening.

Another incentive for Federer to win on Sunday, if Djokovic wins Wimbledon he will surely surpass Federer for most weeks at #1 as he's only 50 weeks behind right now.

I don't think Feds care about that. Prob the only thing he will want is the most number of Grand Slam titles.

I'm not celebrating yet, Serena has been known to take the first set off and still win.

That was quite the stat they just displayed on the screen - In major finals when Serena wins the first set, she is 21-0. When she drops the first set, she's 2-8.

This is probably the best I've ever seen Mona play, masterful defensive tennis right now. Hopefully she can keep it up.

Just sensational from Mona. Serena has no answers to the defense.

Between the rage and the drama queen moments, Serena showing why she's so detestable.
