Apparently the weather forecast isn't very good for tomorrow either. First time they've not finished on the Sunday since 1973 - not a bad run.

Agree with the sentiments expressed in the other thread, that the match was rather underwhelming for the first 2 sets. Kind of workmanlike rather than spectacular - and that favors Rafa.

Then, as we have seen over the last year, Novak again plays some of his best tennis when his back is against the wall. And the heavy/wet conditions appeared to detract from Rafa's play - not as easy for him to move around as he likes, and the court not taking his spin as much.

I still think Rafa will win this. Not as confident as I was pre match, however - the dream is almost within touching distance for Novak now. If Rafa doesn't win then he might find himself residing on Novak's mantelpiece permanently
