If Nadal or Federer are ever going to win another major now is the time.

a nadal/fed final would be great.

unfortunately fed has to go through the less talented zverev who just handily beat murray and then likely face stan. and nadal needs to beat monfils, probably raonic, and...well, one of 4 people but it's still another match.

There are a lot of attractive women playing in the Australian Open, but Johanna Konta stands out.

Moderate chance of a Venus/Serena and Fed/Nadal final. Would be pretty great.

Serena easily took the first set then suddenly couldn't get a serve in, trailed in the second 3-1 and looked very beatable.

Nope.

Fed/Nadal on for Sunday :shock:

3/4 Aussie Open finalists are older than I am. I may never be able to say that again.

All of them are older than me, you fart (by like 2 months, didn't realize Rafa was "only" 30).

Dream final. Really think this goes a long way to decide who is GOAT between Nadal and Fed.

I will be pulling an all nighter to watch. I really hope Venus pulls it off.

Apparently an incredible match. Too bad sleeping is important.

Yeah this helps his case big time. If he lost today, he would have been 2-7 against Nadal in GS Finals, and never would have beaten him outside of Wimbledon in final. This helps a lot.

Only argument would be if Nadal somehow passed him in Majors, but I don't think that will happen after losing today.

I remember it being quite an accomplishment that Agassi won at the age of 32.
