Hope Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal make it to Montreal Masters final.

[Le Gaucher]

Though the event is in Montreal/Toronto is called Rogers Cup ( Roger Wireless) Roger has never won it in Montreal. My wife & I travelled last to Montreal in 2007 and saw him in action against Novak Djokovic in Finals. Federer lost , unexpectedly in 3 sets.

The drive back from Montreal to my home in NJ was a long mournful one for us.. We were were there the whole week for the tournament and saw him at close range and even got a whole bunch of autographs from ( one each on a ball, ticket & a biographical book on him).

I cant believe that it is 10 years past ( how time flies). And Federer continues to be at the pinnacle of the men's singles game.

Which bring us back to the present time. Nadal will become world #1 in the next couple days , and if things go to plan he will meet Federer on Sunday. Now Fed is enjoying his best streak against him, thanks to his retooled backhand. But the jury is still out on whether he has turned their lopsided rivarly around. Nadal is riding high on confidence after his, yet another, fabulous clay court season. Fed just won record 8 wimbledon without dropping a set and would be fancying his chances against nadal. All of which makes the potential Sunday final an utterly exciting prospect.

And I for one, will be too nervous to watch but will be praying for Federer to win.

Go Roger!!!
