Boff! Bonk! Pow! Kapow! Bamm!...Oh, I'm sorry, I'm still reeling from the after-effects of that blockbuster semifinal between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic that would have made even Batman proud!

The two heavyweights threw everything at each other—from bludgeoning forehands to delicate drop shots—for 219 minutes of pulsating action.

Finally, the "Fed Express" beat "Mister Unbeatable" 7-6 (5), 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (5) and its next stop is the Roland Garros final on Sunday where it will take on the "King of Clay".

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal last met at Roland Garros in the 2008 final where Nadal steam-rolled over the Swiss 6-1, 6-3, 6-0.

A lot has changed since then.

The pair more recently met on clay at the Madrid Masters where Federer put on more of a fight to lose 7-5, 1-6, 3-6.

A lot has changed since then, too.

Rafael Nadal is still the clear favourite on Sunday. But if current form is to go by, Roger Federer could pull out a rabbit or two from his hat and cough up yet another "shock".

Sure, it all sounds nice and rosy when put like that but does Roger really have a shot?

Let's figure it out, shall we?

In each of the following slides, I have analyzed all the key aspects of their game so far in the tournament and have tried to answer the question to the best of my knowledge...and instincts.
