Honestly? I'd like to see it, too... I kind of want Federer to win... but I don't think he's going to...

Either way, it should be a great match... much more interesting than the boring women's final, at least...

You've been vPaid, congrats. That's what I get for picking with ny heart. :wink2:

Federer missed a lot of shots, but Nadal's amazing court coverage forces most of those misses.

Yeah... that was tough for me to pick... I found myself hoping I'd be paying you... :) After Federer tied it at 5-5 in the fourth set, I really thought things had turned around and we'd be watching an exciting fifth set... I'm a bit disappointed.

But, yeah... Nadal's masterful on clay.

Nice win by Nadal...but until he gets some results that matter on anither surface, he's the nouveau Thomas Muster...nothing more.
Eh, two of his six wins against Federer were on hard courts...

His game has improved a lot over the past year - I'm very interested to see how he does on grass this year. That will be the real test of whether or not he's developed into an all-around threat. I think he may surprise some people.

I don't, but we'll see. I think Nadal is the best of the consumate dirt-ballers, but if he can with the US Open or make the final of Wimbledon, that would really show me something.

Ok... it's the eve of Wimbledon...

The Baron has declared a fortnight-long PCP party...

And... I thought I'd throw out some picks...

I like Federer to win his fourth straight Wimbledon. I'd like to see someone else have a shot, but I don't... I expect Nadal to go far - maybe even to the quarters or semis, but I don't think his grass court game is developed enough yet... and I just don't see anyone else getting it done either, though I'd love to see Roddick get his head back in the game, and Wimbledon is the place for him to do it.

On the women's side, it's pretty wide open, but I'm gonna go with Clijsters to win her first Wimbledon... just because I'd like to see it.
