Nasal vs Federer final a possibility.
Just like the old days


Nadal?. You are assuming he will go past Milos Raonic tomorrow and that Federer will go past Mischa Zverev today. Frankly, it's still open but amongst those i want to see in the mix is David Goffin, Wawrinka and Dimitrov, whom i foresee being in the final. That's me


Raonic is no joke but anything can happen. Federer will probably come unstuck vs Wawrinka

Dimitrov did quite fine vs Goffin as did Serena Williams. Nadal is coming up against Raonic and i am sitting this one out. I have this feeling that Raonic will prevail as he did 18 days ago when he beat Nadal 2-1 in Brisbane. Too risky!!

Nadal is winning the first set without doubt. If he holds his composure as he has done in the first set, he will win in 3 straight sets. What a lost opportunity to back him

3-0 win for Nadal with the second set ending in a tight tie-breaker. Those who dared the correct score got a whooping 4.06. Now, can the Lucic-Baroni fairy tale go past Serena Williams tomorrow? An emphatic NO!. I rare stake on Angelique-ann "tribesmen" but i will put a stake on a 2-0 win for Serena at 1.40. I also believe Federer will win over Wawrinka at 1.77 and the two games should give me over 2.5 for a large stake.

Stan is biscuit to Federer. Already down 2-0 and i can't see this going past the 3rd set.Obviously, this coupled with the 2-0 CS by Serena, Juventus and Monaco will do me great justice. Watching on Dongpu Promy KB (basket) then Kovalik and De Schepper at the Rennes challenger.

Who? Stan or Federer? I am taking consolation in that Stan has never beaten Fed in a hardcourt. His only two wins coming in clay courts which actually favour his style of play. Ooops. I am shitting bricks!!Pray smile

The only reason I follow Tennis, both men and women, I otherwise find the game boring.

I want Serena to go for the outright all time grandslam winner. As for Venus, quite happy for her with this come back.

And my dream final is hereDrool Drool Drool

Putting my neck on the chopping board!

Mattek/Bethanie to win the AGS WTA doubles. Their opponents (Hlavackova/Peng) have only lost 1 set in 10 matches this year and so this tells you it will be a final to watch.

In the ATP men's other semi- final, i am backing Dimitrov to beat Nadal. Both players are in fine form with Dimitrov having already won in Brisbane. He has a fine back-hand which, i expect will cause Nadal to make mistakes at the base. Even though the H2H are in favour of Nadal at 7-1, it must be noted that in their last encounter in October of last year at the Beijing Open, Dimitrov won in two straight sets (6-2,6-4). Not good enough reason to baack him and i do not expect it to be that easy but i am looking at who needs it more. Maybe 3-1 or 3-2 just as in the other semi. I will take the odds at 4.37 for a large stake which i am more than will to losesmile . Twende kazi, kwani iko nene?

I hear these finals have broken the age records. It's the highest ever average age of players in a final.

BBI will solve it :)

2-2. Two evenly balanced sets followed by two tie-breakers with each player taking one. Into the deciding set and it will come down to the one who has energy left since they've already done a massive 47 games!. This ought to have been the finale proper.Applause
