NYC 2008: Love him or hate him. He is in the final...again. Roger Federer has been in the final of 3 out of the 4 majors and the semifinal in the other. Not bad of a year for someone who allegedly is on the fall and down and out. Today I am posting in his defense. He has beaten the tricky Stepanek, Andreev gave him a run for his money, he smoked Muller's dream run with ease, and dominated the impressionist nole djokovic to close the door.Rafa is not in the best place to make it, and his dominance is not as in depth on the hard courts. I didn't expect Rafa to get past Mardy Fish, and I think if I had stayed up past the first set he wouldn't have. Murray does play well, he is a bit of a grinder who makes few errors. Federer is not the "Federer" we have grown to know, but is still good enough to beat Murray, not that I will be rooting for Rog. Not to count my chickens before they hatch, but Rafa still has a slim shot and will be making a statement if he rallies back from this deficit. I think he has a slim chance and slim just left town. Did you know that no male current playing on the tour has won a grand slam past the age of 27? Food for Thought...
