Free Live TV over internet – links at end of this post

Rafa made it through to his first final in over five months, again with a little assistance from an injured opponent. This time it was Feliciano Lopez who succumbed to problems in his foot, and Nadal was through, 6-1, 3-0 and retired.

Nadal has a 4-2 lead over Davydenko in all time match ups, but it is important to note that the world ranked number 8   Russian has had the better of the Mallorcan in their past two encounters on hard courts (Paris and Miami 2008). So I expect a tough match today, and we are going to see whether Rafa can really sustain a top performance. I pick Rafa in three.

The match starts at 4:30pm local time, that’s 8:30 am GMT, 9:30 am in UK , 10:30am in most of western Europe and 4:30am in New York.
