I'm pretty sure Nadal is a descendant of a brick wall.

Three match points.

Oh that's a shitty way to lose.

Ahhh noooo not like that

His biggest and most reliable weapon loses him the game.

Harsh.

Gutted for Verdasco, especially losing it on a double fault. Both players played some phenomenal tennis.

Epic.

Well done to Laura Robson getting to the girls singles final. Anyone know if it's being shown on tv, it's at 0200 on saturday.

9 hours to go then, tennis fans. I sat and watched this short video about the Wimbledon final earlier. Listen to the roar from the crowd every time Federer wins a point in the tie breaks or saves a Nadal championship point. There's no way you'd get that kind of reaction at any other Grand Slam.

If tomorrow's match is half as good as that one I'll be a very happy man.

I'm not expecting anything as good as the Wimbledon final but I'm hoping it's going to be good. I get the feeling Federer is going to win this one.

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

Even stevens at the moment. Some of the points nadal got breaking federer a moment ago was just ridiculous!

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

Federer playing well now but he really does frustrate me when he's up against Nadal. I just wish he'd sometimes move over on Nadal's serve and hit some big winners - to at least put some fear into him. I mean everyone man and his dog knows where the serve is going so just take a chance. The odds are that it'll pay off.

He also needs to use his backhand slice more. It's a very good shot.

C'mon Federer!

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

Nadal is absolutely blitzing that backhand already in the 3rd set.

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

I don't know why, but I detest Nadal. Perhaps it's his one big arm?

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

Federer not taking his many, many break point chances. :fp:

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

5 set confirmed.

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

This is why you take break points where you're up 40-0.

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

Federer is strawberry floated.

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

Certainly lost his stamina there but it ain't over till the fat lady sung!!!!

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

Really wanted Federer to win.

PostRe: The Australian Open - Federer v Nadal Sunday 8:30am BBC2

ugh strawberry float off Nadal. Power tennis is not as good to watch.
