SUI has two players coming out of WTF, while FRA has depth in numbers.

SUI may never be at this point in the near future and can make the best of the presented opportunity. Federer and Wawrinka would like to add this to their CV, if they can. They will rue the opportunity that Lady Luck has thrown their way.

FRA is the last hurdle, and have some good players, a home court advantage and a surface that may favor them more the the SUI. H2Hs may be meaningless in such a contest given that any of the players on one side can beat players on the other side of the net.

ARG v ESP turned out to be an excellent DC final, with DelPotro, Monaco, Nalbandian trying their best to get the better of the other side.

Will this final live up to its billing?

Isn't "humble" only applicable when talking about yourself and your own achievements?

If Djokovic had said the same thing it would simply be another poor attempt to be popular, but that's another story

You may well be right but then they have been good friends from way back.. might have influenced what he said somewhat

Murray was actually playing well upto the SF, and had also nearly beaten Nadal in Rome, so personally I felt Murray actually had a good chance of winning in that SF against Nadal; but fortunately for me Nadal just about managed to up his game and he came through without trouble.

Andy has always been a difficult match-up for Rafa and not something Rafa has ignored in the past
