I don't know....I mean, not to diminish the feat of defeating Rafa, but the strategy to beat him doesn't seem to be rocket science...between the 09 semi with Verdasco and the 08 semi against Tsonga, the general strategy (at least on hard courts) should just be to 1. jump like hell on that second serve every time you see it, and 2. hit through the ball cleanly with pace like Tsonga does. Murray did that very well against him at the US Open last year.

Federer has the added thing of 3. try, please for the love of god, try not to lose your head just because its Rafa Nadal.
