Which streak ends?

Federer 65 match streak on grass winning Wimbledon and Halle 5 times each or
Nadal 23 current match streak winning Hamburg, French Open, and Queens

It's a cryin' shame either one has to end. But I came into this tournament on the Nadal bandwagon, and I'm sticking with it. Though I've been very impressed with both men in the latter rounds as a whole. I was a little disappointed with Rafa in semis, but maybe that's just him gettin' the bugs outta his system. We'll see.

I'm really looking forward to it. Two tremendous champions doing their thang in radically different ways. Should be good stuff.

I'm with Nadal as well.
Every year he has gotten better on grass, and this year is no different.

I'll be his biggest fan tomorrow if he wins http://www.talkabouttennis.com/forum...ies/cheesy.gif

I'm so excited. This match up is EPIC. I hope the actual match lives up to it. I hope it goes five. If it's four I hope the fourth set is tight.

I have no idea who to root for. I like them both.

Except I have no choice who to root for because of that blasted suicide pool. I need Rafa for that. But I also want to see Federer break Sampras' record. So I'm a little torn. But not TOO much.

Actually, if I had my wish, Rafa would win tomorrow and then Federer would somehow find a way to win th 2009 Roland Garros... That would please me to no end. http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...lies/smile.png

Oh, I know!

I wish they would just switch already.

Gawd, will this insufferable grass play EVER end? http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...ilies/wink.png

Actually, I was wondering that myself.

I have a feeling there would be a ton of people voting for a five setter, because we all desperately want it.

I predicted Nadal, and would love to see him do it.

Still, I like Fed more. I guess I'll just gnaw on my liver.

Um... I'll say Fed in four. Nadal looked kind of lame in his semi.

My heart wants Fed in five. Winning 19-17 in the fifth, so I get another point in 20 questions.

I've said all along Nadal in four. However, my head is saying Nadal in straights. But, if simply predicting Nadal to win was a slap in the face to Federer and his fans, what would those same people say if I said Nadal was going to win in straight sets?

I'm putting myself out there, and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Maybe Fed walks out there and plays an incredible match. One I haven't yet seen from him this year. He's more than capable. You can then all point at this post and laugh at me.

That's a reasonable prediction. Nadal's serve and forehand have been ridiculous for most of this tournament. I don't think anyone can say they really have a good feeling about any prediction. That is what's so exciting about this match! I'm seriously thrilled.

Roger in 3

co-sign. And, I'd be okay with being wrong.

I think we will have another epic 5 setter, with Nadal the winner

These guys have given us some of the best tennis I have ever seen, and one of the all time great rivalries
