Roger would have a much better chance if it was still best of 5 sets.
but best of 3 his chances are something like 80-20 in favor of Nadal.
maybe Roger will be in god mode for a final for a change against Nadal
on clay. he's sure going to have to be.

Fed will need to find his serve again to make it competitive. Aces seemed to have completely disappeared yesterday. Tough scheduling for the old man. How great would it be if he somehow managed to beat Rafa here though?... Not betting on it anyhow.

The last time Fed beat Rafa in a best of 5 was 6 years ago... on grass.

You're kidding? His best shot is a shorter match. More time means more
likely Rafa finds his groove.

And he needed to win 2 tie-breaks to do it.

WRONG. It is the complete opposite. Roger has a better change in a
best of 3 match to beat Nadal, especially on clay.

Oops, typo. Meant to type a better "chance."

Of course. The best players always prefer bo5 as it minimizes chance of
an upset. Much easier to take big chances & get lucky in 2 sets rather
than 3.

I was thinking 2 and 4. 1 and 3 is pretty much the same. Whoever expected a different outcome should share whatever drugs he/she is using.
