Rafael Nadal, our second finalist.
His Heaviness vs. His Famous Ass
If no one chokes, this one could go fast.
Who will come out on top?
I sense some flip-flopping and a closer match than the score will suggest.

Hi everyone,
All I can say is ...
Vamos Rafa!
Hi sgh07.
Enjoy the match.
Guess no one is watching this final. LOL.
Hi Craig,
Thanks
Well the match has not been really entretaining but I am happy Rafa took the first set
Here I am thinking this match is live. But it's on tape delay.
LOL.
I don't know the outcome, so I'll just keep acting like it's live.
Hi Craig, sorry I didn't comment, but yes, I figured you must have thought it was live. I did see it, not going to comment.
..'guess no one is watching this final.' - For once I was around and able to watch, usually I'm working or busy. Nice to be able to see it happen live for a change, and not know the outcome. Promised myself I would try and do that more often with Rafa's matches, esp. after Wimbledon. I missed a good 'un there, sigh.
yes, I knew that match wasn´t live too, but I didn´t want to see the result. I thought Kiefer would be more agressive today
well at least the last game has a little bit of emotion
great Rafa wins!!
Rafa is on fire.
Geez. The boy who couldn't play on hardcourts bags his fourth(?) masters shield on HC. Yay! I'm at work so couldn't watch the match, but I'm so glad that Rafa is starting off the US hardcourt season so well.
Heard rumors that he may pull out of Cincy. Anyone know anything?
There have been rumors that Rafa would skip Cincy to rest for the Olympics. Apparently it's very important to him to represent his country and win a medal and at the same time Cincy would be a great time to rest as he has no points to defend and Roger can't win any points since he is the defending champion. After Toronto, I believe the gap has been narrowed to 300 points so if Roger crashes out in the early rounds again he may hand over the number one spot, even in Rafa doesn't play!
While I'm a huge Rafa fan, that was a lackluster final but I'm extremely proud of him. I still wish he'd go for a flatter shot at times but he is improving. Congrats to him. Vamos!
I hope he pulls out of Cincy as well. His body takes such a pounding on hard courts, it's better for him to have the proper rest so that he'll have a better season. He can forgo the five points from last year and let Roger beat Djokovic into submission if they make it to each other.
Hmm .. if there are surprise finalists there too, I'm hoping it's Marat.
Vamos, Rafa, he is on fire right now! What a winning streak he's been on - simply amazing!
I too have heard the Cincy rumors - it would make sense, but let's see. It would be a good place to gain some ground too, dependng on how Rafa's feeling. I thought he looked a bit fatigued today.
Vamos, Rafa! Quiet those who say you're no hardcourt player.
pamela, I thought his forehand was really off these last two matches, but he found a way to win despite that. Nobody fights harder!
I agree Oddman, about his forehand being slightly off. His inside out forehand is lethal, he should utilize it more on this surface.
He's definitely shut a few people up. 12 Master Series and 30 titles at 22? My boy is phenomenal!
Rafa is currently the best player in the world--
I think he will pull out of Cincy--there's no upside for him.
I do hope Raja can win the Gold Medal in Beijing...
