Federer @ 1.65 to beat Nadal - This is a cracking price to add to any accumulator. The Swiss former world number 1 has been in sublime form over the last week or so and played fantastic tennis in the quarters to take out Del Potro easily. Federer has won the title 4 times and has never failed to make the SF since 2003. He loves the courts in Melbourne, he hitting the ball harder and accuratly as ever and his confidence now is very high. Nadal is looking good too, but I am not sure he is as confident as he has been and he allowed Berdych a chance in his QF and quite a few break point chances, which Roger would capitalise on. The Spaniard defeated Federer in 5 sets in the only other meeting between the two in Melbourne, in the 2009 final. The Swiss Master thumped Nadal just a few months ago in the ATP world finals 6-3 6-0, and although Nadal was in poor shape, this win will give Federer extra confidence going into this match.
I expect a great tussle, but i cannot see the Federer 1st serve being threatened too much, while Nadal has looked a little more vunerable on his own serve. I expect the odds on Roger to shorten, so get in now.
