Tomorrow Roger Federer meets Rafael Nadal in their 3rd consecutive Wimbledon final, and their 2nd consecutive Grand Slam final.  Rafael Nadal thrashed Roger Federer at the French Open in Paris last month, 6-1 6-3 6-0.  But that was on clay, Nadal's favourite service, and Federer's least, being the only Grand Slam he has never won.  The Wimbledon final is on grass, Federer's favourite service and where he has put together an incredible 65 game unbeaten streak.  Rafael Nadal may have improved his grass court game, he may have won at Nottingham before this tournament, and he does look good out there.  But he only looks 2nd best.  2nd best to Roger Federer who, as ever, is on top of his game at these championships.

Roger Federer won the last 2 against Nadal in 4 and 5 sets respectively.  Tomorrow's game may well be 4 or 5 sets again, but it's going to be Federer who wins 3 of them.

Nadal knows and has admitted he will have to be at the top of his game to stand a chance.  But whatever he can do, Federer can do better.  Only Federer has not dropped a set at this years Championships and he has hardly had to break a sweat.

It is worth noting that Roger Federer looked more comfortable beating Marat Safin, who has been playing at his best in these championships, than Rafael Nadal looked beating a tired Rainer Schuettler.

Rafael Nadal also had footwork problems in that semi final match and his knee isn't at 100%.  You're not going to beat Roger Federer if you're not at 100%, and tomorrow Rafael Nadal will not beat Roger Federer.  Federer will lift his 6th straight Wimbledon Championship on Sunday afternoon.
