Unfortunately, yes (I think),

G.O.A.T.
On paper, both line up that way, but anything can happen, where the expected it turned on it ear.
Regarding other one sided men and women finals, there were a few. For examples:
2003: Henin def. Clijsters - 6-0, 6-4
Ferrero def. Verkerk - 6-1, 6-2, 6-3
1988: Graf def. Zvereva - 6-0, 6-0
Wilander def. Leconte - 7–5, 6–2, 6–1
While the Wilander match would seem more competitive in the 1st set (it was--great tennis), Leconte's wheels fell off so quickly in the next two, that the match can be honestly described as one-sided, as it was clear Leconte only had enough to throw everything in up front, but fizzled.

I think that was one of the "worst" finals ever; think it took Graf about 35 min to wrap up the title if I remember correctly.

Women's trophy presentation should last longer than the match. I guess spectators will turn up for free samples of Sugarpova she should hand out to apologize for record low number of games/points won.

I anticipate a titanic battle in the womens final and look forward to it. I personally support Serena but this is no easy call for me because Maria will be fighting for her title like a wild beast.
On the other hand, the person to whom Clownga lost to in the second mens semifinal, I do expect him to be a well behaved gentleman.

The last time Ferrer and Nadal played it was a quick and painless death of David. David was just coming back after the AO and Nadal well we all know seven months and two tournaments back. Nadal should take it in four sets with David struggling to get that one set. Serena hasn't played well at the FO in her history either has Sharapova. Serena 6-3 6-2 in just over an hour. There won't be long points in this match.

What? The last 2 times they played Ferrer has taken a set and pushed Nadal very hard. Acapulco is a distant memory.

Yes. The most recent would be Wimbledon 2010.
Ironically it involves two players who are heavily favoured to thrash their pigeons this time around as well.
[1] S Williams d [21] V Zvonareva
6-3, 6-2
[2] R Nadal d [12] T Berdych
6-3, 7-5, 6-4
Well if we go by the actual scores from the past. I'd say that it's going to be pretty tough to beat the 1988 one.
Graf vs Zvereva 6-0, 6-0
Wilander vs Henry Leconte 7-5, 6-2, 6-1
Between the two winners, they lost only 8 games. I just don't see that happening. Even though I think Serena will win in 2 sets I can't see the double bagle, I think that Sharapova will win at least 6 games. And Ferrer will win at least 6 games.

yeap.. sadly that is the most likely scenario barring freak injury :twisted:
on the +ve side, we got 1 great semi and 1 not too bad semi (maria/vika)
and on the flip side, we already had 2 one sided semis... errani debacle and tsonga not showing up
