Nadal has possibly handed the Federer the initiative after his marathon semi final against compatriot Fernando Verdasco. Nadal won in five pulsating sets played over five hours in one of the greatest matches ever seen. It was more like a war of attrition as the two Spaniards pummelled the life out of each other, with neither gaining the upper hand until the final game.

There is no doubt however that Nadal will suffer and he must hope that his powers of recovery are strong enough to give Federer a match. It is Nadal's first ever hard court final but he will know that he has beaten Federer in the last two Grand Slam finals when they faced each other; those were the French Open and Wimbledon last year.

The odds of this match going five sets with Federer winning looks to be a good bet at 13-2 with Stan James
