as olympic tennis almost coming off its penultimate finals, king rafa and federer express are looking forward to have another epic finals showdown. both are on the path of making into the finals as both players defeated their respective opponents and each the quarterfinals. the finals is set on sunday and for now federer will face blake which we all know that he still have to defeated roger while, rafa could face djokovic again. federer is trying to end his slump of the season that left him stuck with 12 grand slam titles (2 shy of pistol pete's record) by trying to win a gold medal.

i was about to say so... blake just played his best night and much hungrier to take down federer than vice versa. rogers slump continuesd to pile up and hoping he could get a shoot for late next months final grand slam of the season before goin back in shanghai for the finale and masters cup. once more, federer failed to live in his expectations since he said after his loss in cincinatti that he's going to assess his playing skills in this event and determine where he would be standing in the next match.

Hey there, I personally would prefer Federer against djokovic and for djokovic to beat nadal because I don't like to watch defensive tennis and Nadal is very defensive. I don't hate Nadal as a person but the way his playing is very annoying because he doesn't really rely on shot placement or smart deception to win matches. He rely on his athletic fitness which is not wrong but certainly isn't my cup of coffee.

that's right.. and in as much as we love to see king (no more) roger in the finals with djokovic or nadal but not ain't gonna happen anymore. roger needs to wait for another 4 more years to take home his first ever olympic gold medal. he was just badly beaten by blake, who displayed a very impressive shots and move all throught the game. blake is more hungrier than federer too knowing that fedrer had downed him in their last 8 head to head matches.

its always good to see both of the playing. hopefully rafa can comeback out of injury and gain his form again.
