And Nadal-Djokovic was a semifinal yet to be played. Who'd he be rooting for?
It's just hypothetical and I don't want to get ahead of things. But it's quite interesting I think. Roger's better friends with Rafa I think, and he likes Rafa to give Novak a beatdown maybe? He wouldn't like Novak to do what the Swiss Maestro couldn't do in the last three years would he. On top of that it would give Novak better chances to be no. 1 in the world, something that would be not good at all for Roger either. I think it would be more painful to lose a potential final here to Djokovic than again to Nadal.
On the other hand, Roger knows he's not the favourite against Rafa, he knows he doesn't handle Rafa's forehand very well and that it's always gonna be really tough. Novak is someone who's never beaten the world no. 1 on clay.
I wonder about this, because I don't know I'd favour myself as a fan of Roger. If Roger wins the final against the Djoker I want Novak, but then again.. If Novak can beat Rafa, he's probably on a roll and won't lose to Roger Federer easily. Who'd you pick?
