Wut? Nadal is pretty much going to make the final and if Federer can't beat Nadal on slow hardcourt, he is not beating him on slow, bouncy clay. There is a reason Federer has never won against Nadal at RG.

Nadal losing before the finals isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. Noone thought Nadal was going out in 09 prior to the finals but he did. If Ralph get's a big hitter in his draw like Delpo then anything is possible.
Ofcourse if he continues to get cake draws like at the AO then he'll make slam finals till 2015 or more.
Looks like people agree that Federer's best surface is HC and best slam is USO. With that said, last year he was closest at FO and USO really who knows if he could keep it together.
