Nice to see this matchup happening in a tournament that isn't Basel. Wish they could meet in a slam sooner though.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this, hopefully both turn up to produce a good match. I think basing on how well Federer played against Duckworth, he'll be too good for Dimitrov.

I'm going with Federer in 2. 6-4 6-3

I expect Dimitrov to make it somewhat close, but if Federer shows a level comparable to today's match (although Duckworth was dreadfully bad to be fair) it should be a routine 2 setter for him. 7-5 6-3 or something like that.

I think Dimitrov will win this time. He faced much tougher competition (#31 and #34 of the world, Fed faced #156 and #125) and should be more prepared.

I'd support Roger if this was in a slam final since I want him to get to #18, but this match doesn't mean much for him. It's more important for Grigor. since he needs to win a match like that one as soon as possible to build confidence and believe he can beat the Big 3.

Tennis to win either way though and this is the real final. This is talent vs. talent, the best match possible in tennis, while the other semifinal is servebot vs. robotic tennis. :devil:

If Dimitrov manages to make it a longer one, he's taking it in 3 i feel.

He shouldn't be star struck anymore, so this could be a very interesting one.

People assuming Roger will cruise after he won 6-0 6-1 today but I have a feeling this will be a tight 3 setter and Dimi will have all chances
