@TheGhostOfAgassi, @Hitman and @NoleFam, thanks for turning this thread into a very balanced one. A thread which should have easily descended into fanboyism from the moment I read the title.
Such a good analysis! Federer built up some serious confidence vs Rafa now too, and this time maybe play in Federers livingroom. Will be very tough mentally for Rafa if the match happens. Its extra nice w Moya at the bench. Has to serve like he has never done before. Also made Rafa flatten put shots a bit. Wish Rafa had added him before Waited so long. So stubborn.
Well, better late than never, right? This will be a big mental challenge for Rafa, but he thrives in those conditions, and I am sure it will be motivate him even more. But he has got to hope that if they play, it is not raining. Once that roof closes, it truly becomes Federer's fun house...and indoor grass court with a confident Roger on it is a very big mountain to climb.

Nothing is better than a nervous Rafa serving indoors, sweating rivers from his face and that worried look in his face 2015 horror
But in other ways, Rafa is high on confidence now and up for challenges! He is generally very strong mentally. Some of these younger ones, wish they had the same mental ability as Rafa had same age.
Oh that thing.
Yeah they should be glad he uses long time between points. Rafa has shortened points drastically, and how dominant he is the final would be done in an hour. The slaughtering would look way worse
