Todays Final at Roland Garros

Let's see if Nadal picks on Rogers Backhand. One of the reasons Nadal gives Federer trouble is because of that lefty forehand hitting the equivilent of forehand kick serves up high to the Fed backhand. It's my belief that Fed should slice them down because he is prone to miss hit his topspin backhand in the long exchanges that ensue. Slicing down the line would keep the ball to Nadals two-hand backhand and make him bend low, a potential set up for Roger's forehand. We'll see. The new balls and a dry court also assist Federer. That ball change this year could be enough to make a difference for Fed as they are more lively. I say it's an even match-up given age and everything else............
