The rivalry just isnt pretty anyway you cut it for him. He should notch one back tomorrow, but all those matches 05-09 just dont go away. The best result he gets out of this another basel title, he needs a slam win over rafa really

Did Federer not make two slam finals in 2015? I do not think he cares who he beats, it is just another trophy he really wants.

2005-09 is history, it will never go away.

OTOH, it would be good to see Nadal make another RG final, even if it is a swan song.

Stuff happens. Sometimes it's a bit like its prime but it doesn't feel special anymore. Tennis' big matches now all involve Djokovic. A win would be nice either way, but that's it, it's just another match

Unfortunately, the match tomorrow will lead to denigration of the loser, rather then the celebration of the winner.

Nadal has been impressive getting this far. He has come back from the brink, including hanging on to the second set with Gasquet. Nadal's movement has improved despite the faltering FH.

Federer BH and FH have been misfiring all tournament. Gasket's BH seemed better at handling Nadal, leaving the mental demons aside. Foot-speed is another factor. A first serve and slice will stand him in good stead.

Hopefully some Swiss bankers are sanding the court down to make it play a bit faster tomorrow. drumroll

Oh I am looking forward to comments such as...

"Federers back was playing up"

"Nadal is clean and lost as a result"

"If it was 90's grass Federer would've won"

"If it was clay Nadal would've won"

"Decimation of the rain forests is causing Federer to shank more balls against Nadal"

"The Greek gods cursed Nadal for winning all the time hence why he lost"

I am sure there is mileage in this.

Rafa is a really bad match-up for Roger.  Perhaps not as bad here as on other surfaces, but still, unless Fed ups it from how he played in the SF, Rafa will likely win.

Very Murdoch-like ;-). It would be a seismic shock if Roger doesn't win tomorrow. Even when Rafa is playing well Fed is favourite on an indoor court. Rafa struggled past Gasquet today and has shown nothing this week to suggest he has anything currently to trouble Fed on this surface.

I agree - it's just that another slam win over Rafa would be no big deal either - it is very unlikely to be a final, the winner probably wouldn't go on to win the tournament, so even a slam match wouldn't be that much more than just another match.

However, if Fed were to lose tomorrow and thus be 'humiliated', that seems to contradict your opinion that it's just another match.

Goffin and Kohlschrieber both took a set off Fed this week. If Rafa were to go a little better and win in 3, how would that be a 'seismic shock'?

Some artistic wordplay. No need to get hung up. It means there's no way he should lose in his hometown under these circumstances. Losing this would be as bad as seppi to me.

Rumours were his neck/back were a problem for the Kohli/Goffin matches. Providing his back is ok, Fed losing on a fast indoor court to an out of sorts Rafa in Basel just isn't happening.

Worth noting he goes back to number 2 with a win tomorrow.

The point being there's narginally more expectation on fed here, for the first time in a long time... Would be legitimately surprised if he makes a mess if it

Hehe, maybe.  I hope you are right.

But I am not convinced.  Rafa vs Fed is not just about the current form.  Rafa has a match-up advantage that Fed needs to overcome.  Their first three hard court matches were played in 2004-2006.  At that time, Fed was beating everyone on hard courts and Rafa was not.  Yet, Rafa came out 2-1 out of those three and it was awfully close to being 3-0.  If this were a standard hard court, I would say that for Fed to beat Rafa, he would need the difference between their respective forms to be bigger than it was in 2004-06, and I do not think it is.  So, on a standard HC, I would give this one quite clearly to Rafa.  Indoors HC is obviously better for Fed, so I do think he has a decent chance, but certainly nowhere near a forgone conclusion (at least not in Fed's favor).

Nah, in- door or not, the guy is 34 years old and right now not as sharp (understandably) as just earlier this year, so inconsistent with his serve, the key of his winning format,  never mind the looseness of the rest of his game overall this week.

However, Nadal has played very well (relatively) since Beijing, and Shanghai. In Basel now he may not be winning convincingly but still reaches the final. He is 5 years younger and has all the experiences he needs, regardless the surfaces, to grind out a win vs an old dog with a sore neck he owns historically. The strength of this psychological advantage alone (agree with SB and others re bad match up etc) is enough for Nadal to secure a win over the home favourite. He doesn't even need to do anything special.

So l say just the reverse, given their history and the age gap, for me it'll will be a "seismic shock" if Nadal doesn't win today.

Seemingly not so important final in Basel, but it must be very presitigous from Fed’s perspective. Fed plays on his home soil, on his favorite surface and at indoor. It is one of his few last chances to confirm his edge with Nadal at least at indoor matches.
What to expect in the final? I think that a mental side will have a big effect in it. If Fed can hold his focus, then he should win it. But any doubts in his head can cause that we will see another shanking BH fest and then it surely can go a different way.
So nothing seems to be sure in the final. But the pressure is on Fed, Nadal has nothing to lose. That will play a big role.

For what it's worth, I think this is going to be a close match.

My impression is that, in terms of form, Rafa is on the way up from a low place and Federer is on his way down from a high place. I think they are about to meet somewhere in the middle.

I have a feeling that Rafa might take it but I wouldn't be at all surprised by a Federer win.

I bet Fed was hoping Rafa wouldn't make the final. This is going to be a tough match for him against a guy who has fought back from losing positions this week and may still have a mental edge over Rog.
On the other hand, Fed is unlikely to have a better chance to beat Rafa than this (although we could be saying this again if the pair meet at the O2 !)

Did you watch the match? Gasquet had a lead for most of the first set, served for the second and had set points.
He definitely struggled at times.

Rafa played some of his best tennis all week against an on form Gasquet, who true missed some chances, but struggle ?? if you had said that about his match against Rosol I would have agreed. It was a closely contested match against Gasquet, who would have proved himself against any player yesterday, but Rafa won in two sets not three.. struggled Rolling Eyes

12 of Rafa's previous 21 sets against Gasquet (all of which he won) were 6-2 or easier. He totally dominates him due to Gasquet's poor movement and OHB. 6-4 7-6 (relying on a Gasquet choke in the 2nd) therefore classes as struggling.

That doesn't mean he didn't play some decent stuff but there are still odd dips (from 4-1 to 4-6 in the tiebreak was woeful). Great for him to make the final but he needs a massive improvement to make it competitive today.

Not a struggle for Rafa vs Gasquet, just more competitive. Gasquet has improved under Burgera. Gasquet looks fitter now, serves better, improves his FH and he's playing closer to the baseline in this match, not the usual playing from way behind the baseline.

Rafa mishit two FHs in the TB but he played well the rest of the TB, clutch serving at set point and then won in the end. Gasquet DF in one of his service game and allowed Rafa to break back but he's not the first or the last player to DF away a game.

This Rafa is not the all conquering Rafa of old, but he's still playing well enough and clutch enough to snatch victories away from his opponents.

Your absolutely right Blb no he isn't, and doubt he ever will be, but as bad as he is he is good enough and better than most to have earned his place in this final. Having the disastrous season he has ever had in his career and may still finish 6th in the race... what the hell does that tell you about the rest ..should he beat Fed today..then what will be said of him..?

Good luck Roger.

Should be a fun match. I can see just about any outcome as possible. Given the surface, I suppose it is possible that Roger could have a straightforward win but I can just as easily see Rafa taking Roger apart easily.

If it is a close match, in the past I would give it to Rafa, but this year he has lost enough close matches that I am not too confident about that either.
