Them two again? You've gotta be joking!

World number one Raphael Nadal has booked his place in the final of the illustrious Australian Open with a five set thriller over fellow countryman Verdasco. The 14th seed won the opening set 7-6 but Nadal took charge as he clocked the next two. But Verdasco battled on and won the fourth to make it go into the fifth set, and Nadal finally shone through winning the last and most exciting set 7-5.

This sets up a mouth watering clash between Federer and Nadal and is the 19th time they've met in their careers. Nadal leads the win-loss ratio and is in good nick for this final, but if any of you saw Federer's match against Roddick, well lets just say it's definitely not going to be close to easy for Nadal. The last time they locked horns was in that battle of champions at the Wimbledon final. I remeber watching and I was just so amazed that a match could go like that. End to end relentless quality. It finished at a very late time of 21:15, thank God it was summer! Nadal took the trophy off a crestfallen Federer and that marked the start of the Spaniards reign and 'invincibleness' at the top. Since then Nadal and Federer have had a decent time on tour, with Nadal winning the Olympics and Federer taking the trophy at Flushing Meadows.

Who's going to win. Who knows? But what I'm certain about is that I'm definitely going to get up at 8:30 am GMT to watch it!
