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