there's been pretty high quality from both players. But mainly in their ability to hold their serve and come up with good stuff when it got just a bit close. Berdych has had 1 BP and Stan has had 4 or so. Essentially, both have been to weak on return/strong on serve to make it interesting - despite some pretty big and good shots and solid play from both players.

This sums it up.
 
Into the TB we go... Anyone wanna call this? Im going to go with Berdych, he's looked solid on serve from what iv seen and combined with Wawrinka's mindset to close this out, it just feels right.
 
Wawrinka is a man on a mission.

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." ;)
 
Would you be able to send it to me? It's a bit nippy in fairness here at the moment, so I do feel the cold more.

I will make it so, just as I did for the equally bald Patrick Stewart.
 
This is an AMAZING run for Wawrinka!


He's reached a Major final and he's done it in style.

He'll have enough left in the tank too for the final methinks, physically and emotionally, but how about tactically...
 
Vamos!!!!! Great win for Stan and a great win for professional tennis! :)
 
Stan's Agent to his Girlfriend as he was kissing her ""Hey, our sponsorship potential just went up 200 % with this Boring man""" Hewwwwwww, mmy job is tough
 
Well done, Stan. Probably better for the final anyway. I fear Berdy would not hold up to the expectation.

Good tournament, though. he made some ground.
 
Stan has done it! I didn't think my farfetched prediction would come true, I thought it was wishful thinking but he's come through!
 
Vamos!!!!! Great win for Stan and a great win for professional tennis! :)

A win like this further illustrates your theory that we only need look at Nole's result here as 'playing a bad match'. Sometimes a player just gets hot and it's fitting that the slayer of the Australian Open king has reached the final in the end too.

Hopefully he can peak for the final tomorrow.

Nole played great tennis against Wawrinka but it just wasn't enough. His performance tonight supports that fact.
 
LOL. Stan kind of avoided the Fed question, clearly likes Nadal more.
 
Hopefully he can peak for the final tomorrow.

Yeah, well he has two FULL days of recuperation so he'll be physically ready and mentally fresh. If he gets his tactics right? You never know...
