Rogers Cup—Toronto, Canada

Under passive and forceful play, Roger Federer and Andy Murray have earned a spot in the culminating final in Toronto.

For Federer, his luck came in the form of surviving a match game down against Tomas Berdych in the semifinals. The gun-slinging Czech had the match on his racket, but couldn’t cash in on a third straight victory.

Federer has served exceeding well throughout the week; a shot that has held him close to the top of the rankings for the last four years. Kicking and sliding his serve when he’s needed to, Federer has also clobbered his delivery at the right moments. Not moving as well as he once did, the 16-time Major winner has proven that he still has what it takes to compete at the Masters level.

Let’s give some much deserved credit to the defending champ. Entering Toronto without a coach or a tournament title on the season, Murray defeated Gael Monfils, David Nalbandian, and Rafael Nadal in succession. Although the Scot hasn’t won a Slam title to date, his record and consistency throughout the Masters events remains stunning.

Murray played a near perfect match to defeat Nadal in the semifinals, and he’ll have to adjust his tactics if he’s to upend Federer for a seventh time.

The forecast has called for rain and thunder showers on Sunday, and at the very least the conditions will be overcast and slower.



 

Who will that favor, and will it even make a difference?

Let’s now take a look at tomorrow’s championship preview.
