Nadal beat Rosol, Dimitriv, Cilic, and Gasquet, and now meeting Federer at the Final. If Nadal wins, his confidence is going to increase significantly.

By the way, Nadal beat three competitive players to get to the final. Federer, none.

None of the players at these 500's are world beaters, bar Cilic - and he is inconsistent and streaky at best.
Should be a good final tonight regardless, the 34th meeting between the pair. (I don't support either player btw).
Nadal is not at his best Indoors, so if he does win, will stand him in good stead for the rest of the year.

Paris Indoors (Masters), Quarter Finals:

ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Paris | Draws | ATP World Tour | Tennis


Only shock result so far has been Federer losing to John Isner:

Isner Faces Federer Paris 2015 | ATP World Tour | Tennis

Isner , on the back of his monster serve, can beat anyone in the Top 4 on his day.
Once it gets to a tiebreaker, as it often does, he wins most of these.
His results outside of the North American hard courts though, are not as good and are less consistent, so it is still an upset.

I watched the Fed vs Isner match. Isner is always dangerous on his day, but he's never consistent enough to win a major tournament. He can definitely beat anyone when his serve works though.

Nadal seems to be finding some form ahead of the tour finals. Maybe not back to his best, but certainly improving.

Djokovic played a bizarre 2nd set against Simon in R16. 8 breaks of serve in total, but he still won and is of course the favourite to win yet another title this year.

Murray has never gone past the 1/4 finals in Paris but has only dropped 4 games in his 2 matches so far. He only lost 1 game against his Davis Cup opponent Goffin. He plays Gasquet today.

So it's another Djokovic vs Murray final.

Murray is in his 1st Paris final, and Djokovic has made it for the 4th time. He's won all the previous 3.

Of course Djokovic is the favourite, but Murray has beaten him this year.

The surface suits Djokovic more than Murray though, so I'm predicting a straight sets win for Djoko.

I hope I'm wrong however.

Once again, ALL 9 ATP 1000 events this year were won by a member of the Big 4.

Djokovic wins his 6th Masters for the year:

Another record by Djoker, as 2015 shapes up as one of the best in tennis history!

It seems to me that Murray is no threat to Djokovic any more.
