So it will be a Nadal vs. Soderling final!!! Nadal played his best match yet, even with the little wobble in the third set. Nice to see that he is not complacent about winning and that he is happily human, admitting to nerves and how it still means a lot to him to reach the final. I wonder if he is playing within his limits so as not get any body niggles. I hope he will let it all out come Sunday though. Soderling had to take Berdych to five but got through. We shall see if this will be a factor, he does have a whole day to rest though.
Venus and Serena claimed the doubles and are now also ranked number 1 and 2 in the world. As happy as I am about their accomplishments, they also show what is wrong with the Womens' game. The Williams sisters can come in and out as they please and no matter what can find their way to the top in the singles and doubles. Everyone else just scrambles for what they can get which creates ebbs and flows of good play and bad matches :(. Is it a drought or are the younger ones either physically and/ or mentally just not as strong these days?!
