Honestly people need to be careful writing off Del Po or Nadal in a potential final with Nole. I am sorry to tell people but Nole is not unbeatable level. He isnt playing at a level where he is a robot. I just cant believe how many people are overratings Nole's form at the moment. Sure he will be fave in the final but Nadal or Del Potro are not couple of mugs. Nadal played a 5 setter before his Wimbledon match and looked great. People dont even realise Rafa has 2 DAYS rest. Thats a huge bonus. He didnt even practice today.

The winner of this are not completely incapable of beating Nole in a SF either. This is sport. Anything can happen.

I don't disagree with you. But that post is more out of hope than out of reason.
Look at things objectively, and you will see why Novak is a very solid favorite. Look at what bookies also think.

He literaly needed a minute to serve a point and in the next service game of Kei complained after few extra seconds, wanting a time violation warning for Nishikori ..... Very low
In the heat of the moment these players are capable of anything.

It's a battle out there. Sportsmanship is the last thing on their mind.

I've seen worse tantrums at local 3.5 matches that mean squat.

These guys are playing for immortal tennis legacy.

ace out wide by Cilic.
CC BH forces error from Nishi.

Cilic holds, getting himself out of the self-made hole.

This has turned into quite the epic, wasn't looking that way in the first set.

I love both of these players' tennis so I am happy with either winning. That being said, I would like Kei to make it further as Cilic already made a final this year. Either way, I think Cilic has a greater chance of beating Novak as Kei will probably retire if he makes it through this match (hopefully not!).
