If you can't even win a set?
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

The very nature of a strait knockout tournament means that there's a very good chance that the two best players/teams aren't in the final.

He hammered both Federer and Djokovic, the 2nd and 3rd best players in the world at the moment with the former being perhaps the best ever tennis player. He definitely earned the right to be there.

None of the women deserve to be in a final apart from Serena - Rugby world cup final :hehe:

Also, sometimes the underdog expends so much physical and mental effort getting to the final that they just don't have enough left in the the tank to give 100%.

A couple of right clichés there. :whistle:

Also, sometimes the eventual champion is on such great form that they would win against almost anyone in straight sets. Both Serena and Rafa were in pretty close to perfect form - especially when it came to playing the big points. Both Murray and Berdych had sets against Nadal where they beat him on points won, number of break points, number of aces, %age of first serves in court - every stat went their way except for the one that counted - number of break points converted, which Rafa won 1-0.

He would have whitewashed Federer in the kind of form he was in. Watching the way his aggression and precision increased dramatically whenever he had a sniff of a break was frightening.

Serena was in similar form. When a player like that gets into the zone it is an amazing sight to watch.
