That vicious topspin assault is gonna be hard to unravel on this bouncy court. AO playing like Miami,who's gonna stop Nadal?

I don't know man. This epic chair in Melbourne almost stopped him.
Federer certainly is not. But since its playing like Miami, the obvious answer would be Djokovic.

I have a hunch Federer will. Federer will be well tested by Dolgo and Delpo before he faces up to Nadal. He'll be up for it THIS time.
Ha ha...
These fake Nadal-high expectation threads are hilarious!
Just about anyone can beat Nadal right now. He's not beating Fed even if by some miracle he makes the semi,but I think he will lose well before that. He's in horrible form and playing too defensive/passive.
Nadal looks unstoppable defeating a qualifier and a 33 y/o guy currently ranked 190th in the world who has barely played tennis in the past two years. Fascinating stuff.
Now here's something even more fascinating. Federer looks even more unstoppable because it only took him 3 sets to win TWO matches. Now try to wrap your head around that one!
There's no doubt we are witnessing peak Nadal.
Just imagine the scorelines if the Nadal hadn't become the injury of the chair...
Peak nadal is unstoppable.
No he's not. he hit 36 winners to 17 UE's today, against a good player. Hows that horrible form?
Nadal doesn't look unbeatable right now, he does however look to be in good form. Nadal is going to run his body into the ground and most likely have to pull out of the ao due to his knee again

Federer was pushed to 7-5 in the first set by a guy who played his FIRST slam match. Try to make more sense next time.
Djokovic is in the best form in tennis so until Nadal comes up with an answer to the Djoker he's just playing for second place
In 2011 Nadal breadsticked Djokovic at Wimbledon and took a set at the US Open. If Nadal takes the first set in an AO final, it won't be a given that Djokovic wins. Nadal has only ever lost one match in slams after winning the 1st set (Ferrer at US Open).
You forget that Nadal is a mental midget when he plays Djokovic.

He's a mental midget when he plays just about everyone these days.
I guess that's why you think he won't make the AO semis....
And Djokovic played the 2010 US Open like a mental midget. Every year is different.
Agassi beat Sampras at the thrilling 2000 US Open sf, after looking like a mental midget for so long in their matchup.

Could have swore Sampras was in the USO final that year, playing Safin.

He only had one great year vs Nadal, and that's why Nadal leads 16-13 and 5-2 in slam h2h.
Come on Clarky. You can't run the same joke by us over and over. You need variation, and an element of surprise.Just about anyone can beat Nadal right now. He's not beating Fed even if by some miracle he makes the semi,but I think he will lose well before that. He's in horrible form and playing too defensive/passive.

AO is firmly and securely in Nadal's bag.
You mean Rafa has already checked in his AO trophy.Suitcase, Senti. Suitcase.
Nadal is playing better than ever. Hasn't dropped a set yet. I can't see anyone stopping him getting to the final. Would be embarrassing if it did happen.
No he's not. he hit 36 winners to 17 UE's today, against a good player. Hows that horrible form?
I agree, it would feel a bit embarrassing to lose to Federer. It's been a long time since Federer beat Nadal outdoors, and even longer since Federer beat Nadal in a slam (2007!).
