What irritates me is the Nose is still a crowd favorite despite ignoring this tournament for many years. Apparently the Botox faces just can't remember that fact.

No moonballing or pushing tomorrow, Stan will get blast off the court by the superior shotmaker, the legend Roger Federer!

More a toss up than it once was, winning a Slam certainly should have cured some of the demons that Wawrinka faces when he plays Federer. Still, Federer should be the favorite

Tennis wins either way so just sit back and enjoy two talented shotmakers demonstrate that clay court tennis doesn't have to be a pushing, moonballing war of attrition.

Interesting facts to consider:
1. The last time Fed faced Stan was 2013 Indian Wells -- close match as Stan lost 7-5 in the decider.
2. Last time Stan faced Fed on Clay is on Roland Garros last 2011 losing in straight sts.
3. The only match Stan won against Fed was in 2009...in Monte Carlo in straight Sets -- also the same year Fed won RG.
4. This would be the first Final between them. This match would also determine if Stan still stays World #3 and Swiss #1 -- lose here and he swaps places with Fed.
Should be a fun match. I hope Stan wins though, but a first time MC winner is cool either way. It looks like "all bets are off" are really true now.

Also when Mirka was pregnant. The parallels are unnerving...someone alert Groove.
Joking aside, they are two different matches in different circumstances 5 years apart. I'm not sure it would be wise to read too much into their 2009 encounter.
Re: WWW Dream Monte Carlo F: [3] Stanislas Wawrinka vs [4] Roger Federer
Real test of whether Stan belongs at the very top, or is just a a second tier player temporarily sitting at the top because of his one big win.
He needs to have the attitude that he can win, and should win. He has won a slam but hasn't won a masters yet, in terms of level of play alone has got a huge chance here to get his first one and cement his position as the best player of the year so far. The top tier of players don't bend over happily, so if he smiles and lets his master win the title without putting up the level of fight he is capable of, he shows imo that he has not completed his transformation and deserves not to be the Swis no. 1.
Re: WWW Dream Monte Carlo F: [3] Stanislas Wawrinka vs [4] Roger Federer
I want roger to win. Damn hopefully no bend overs tomorrow. I want to see a bloodfest of attacking tennis on clay tomorrow. Roger winning his first Monte Carlo will be awesome! But wawrinka winning his first master over roger will be also sweet. You won't see me complaining tomorrow for sure.
