It showed in the last finals he was in at the beginning of the year when he faced the best player there is now named Federer.
Quite possible that two of them will play final but currently no mater the age Federer has good opportunity to win this tournament to.
Nadal is good player but i have better opinion on Federer cuz think he is trying harder to go back in old form Nadal is trying so hard as Federer.
You cannot count out all the veterans especially Nadal and Federer. Also, we know that they always wanted to outdo each other, so if ever they face each other in the finals, it will be an even match. Both of them are my favorites so I don't know if I'm gonna bet if ever they face one other. I will just watch at the TV and cheer for every point.
But this tournament may be for Nadal but Federer is good this season he recovered good after injuty from last season and he is playing like in old days. Seem that we will might have great final master at the end of this season.
