Raonic has crazy power, so Nadal needs to match this and return the ball well.

This is where Carlos Moya being Raonic coach last year should help Rafa in game planning

Federer just slaughtered this dude.

He just has Stan in his way of the final now, and that will be a tough game.

Fed leads Stan in the H2H 18-3... and those 3 losses were all on clay. I know tennis is on the day but I make Fed quite a big favorite

Yeah, Stan is just one of those players though. I remember the 2 times he fukked Novak over in Major finals when I thought Novak would wipe him out.

How is Serena looking this tourney? After last year I am kind of in two minds about watching her play. Too fukin draining

I'm with you on watching her play....too damn stressful

She hasn't dropped a set yet. Last match her serve was garbage, but still made it happen

Yeah, Stan is not the one to be fukked with. I hope Fed wins, but if Stan goes HAM there's no saying what happens.

Honestly hoping for Stan vs Rafa final for competition sake. Not trying to see Nadal bully Fed in straight sets

But my heart wants Fed vs Nadal final.

I feel you, it's another SF which she should win (Vinci, Pliskova & now Baroni). I'm not sure could take another flop, there's a real chance Coco Vandeweghe wins it all

Stan was something like 16-2 vs Djoko once upon the time, beat him last 3 times at majors ...

Wawrinka @ Slams is a different prospect these days than the tour version, it'll be a tough one for Fed to win

Nadal wins

Raonic wins

Rafa standing closer on the return threw Milos off in the 1st set. He also has served well.

Just gotta hope Rafa stays focused.

Nadal holding up well here. This second set is the biggie!

Nadal and Federer deserve major praise if they make it to the final, age and injuries weren't on their side but they have come back strong.
