I told my friend before the match that he'd win like 6 games. I think I was being generous lol.

I expect Fed to lose, but maybe not a total shellacking. Roger's backhand has given Nadal trouble lately. Fed is still effective with it.
i don't think federer's backhand has ever given nadal trouble on clay, and i doubt it will start now.
Yeah it's not a forgone conclusion. Nadal hasn't been at his best this clay season. Anyway it doesn't matter who wins if Djoker gets to the final, he'll beat either of them.
Federer hasn't used his improved backhand on clay against Nadal.
It's what has been the differentiator for Fed since AO 2016 in games against Nadal. It certainly won't be as effective on clay. But it was crucial against Stan today. So it stands to reason Fed will use it in the Semi.
nadal did find some of his clay form in rome and has been solid since then. crushed djokovic as well.
it's not improved enough for it to matter on clay. prove me wrong, roger.
Fed's game is different since the last time Fedal happened on Clay. It's going to take some adjusting for Nadal. He won't be able to rest on his old strategies. But he's the GOAT on Clay so he'll adjust. If Fed doesn't take that first set, then that's the match. The little hope left will be squashed. Fed has to tap into that AO 2016 Zen if he expects to be in that match at all.
nadal just sleepwalking to the semis and perhaps the finals if roger doesnt have his best stuff

The grand slam title race is going to look very interesting in a few years. Not so sure Fed will still have the lead outright in 2022
Next gen still sucks, for the the most part, so I'm not sure if Novak can be stopped. Nadal can beat him at RG, but nobody else can consistently do so at the other slams.
Think about it though, do you really want Fed to pull off a once in a lifetime miracle win against Nadal at the French to get lolrolled by Djokovic in the final?
Nadal is likely going to steamroll Fed. The question is whether or not Novak can at least make the final interesting.
Yeah both Nadal and Novak look like they have more slams in them (potentially a lot more). I think Fed will struggle to hold that lead but who knows. Pretty awesome that all 3 have a legitimate chance still at number 1. Who knows maybe sometime soon a new player will step
up and win something... seriously who am I kidding.

Djokovic has to beat Zverev and Thiem first.
The US Open 2016 were the last GS where the winner wasn't Nadal, Federer or Djokovic. Since 2004 they won at least 2 GS titles per year.
Rain has wiped another day from us. If only... if only there was a way to prevent all matches from being cancelled due to rain. Hmm.
Looks like rain on Friday too, so we could get into a situation where the Men's semis are on Saturday, Women's final is on Sunday, and Men's final is on Monday. If there is not enough play on Friday you would have the Women having to play two matches in a row to keep the Saturday final. Selfishly I would love it if the men's semis moved to Saturday so that I could see Fed/Nadal.
