Federer won easily against Kiefer. I didn't expect anything else. Also Rafa has already won the first set against Roddick 7:5 |

Well Nalbandian well and truely tanked that semi final against Djokovic, I dont even think Djokovic could believe how quickly it was over and for the loss of just one game. Will be an interesting final tomorrow, the peoples favourite for wimbleon and french open champion vs the australian open champion and contender to break the nadal federer dominance at the top of the mens game. Should be a interesting match up Scott |

Nadal was very impressive against Roddick while Djokovic didn't have to do much more than turn up against Nalbandian. Tomorrow's final will be very intriguing as Nadal will want to continue his clay form on grass and stave off Djokovic's challenge for the number 2 spot while Djokovic will want to usurp Nadal and extend his hardcourt wins over Nadal to grass. This should be worth watching. |

I like Nalbandian, but this was just horrible. I guess he rather wanted to watch 24 hours Le Mans than play tennis. |

Yeah, Rafa won in Queens against Djokovic 7:6(6) 7:5 Must have been a great final, although I wasn't able to watch it yet. Hopefully Eurosport will broadcast it this evening. Rafa became the first Spaniard to win in Queens since 1960. |

Really good match between Nadal and Djokovic at Queen's with great rallies, big hitting and changes of momentum. Djokovic really should have won the first set as he had a chance to go two breaks up and later had a set point on his serve in the tiebreak and was ahead all the way but Nadal ended up winning and he was in control of the match from then on. When Djokovic served for the second set, you knew he had to serve it out then otherwise Nadal would make him pay and that's what happened. It was an important win for Nadal as even though he'd been the Wimbledon runner-up the past two years, he'd had tough matches in the early rounds (Soderling, Youzhny last year) but he looked very good at Queen's and had impressive wins against Roddick & Djokovic, avenging hardcourt defeats to them from earlier in the year. Federer won in Halle and it's difficult to see past the big three as a Wimbledon winner. Did Nadal eat lots of chocolate coins as a kid because whenever he gets a trophy he always bites into it? |

This time Djokovic in the half of Federer. Not an "advantage" for Roger. Could be an interesting SF, but its a long way to get there. |

Nadal could have a tough match in the second round. |

Nadal could have a tough match in the second round. You are right. Although I don't know how well Gulbis is on grass, but also Isner might be a tough opponent. Really good service but a bit inconsistent. |
