And Stan needs to find out how to win at least 18 games on Sunday.

Looks like Rafa has been roided up at the right time. Should win easy Sunday.

Rafa in straight sets! If Stan had not played a five setter maybe it would have been a little interesting. This one is a no brainer.

Halep had her best chance to win one and ran out of gas. Cant see her getting closer than this. Womens tennis is so bad. There must have been a Service break every other game.

I wouldn't count Stan out. If he can come out strong, win the 1st set, and put some doubt in Rafa's head out of the gate then it could get very interesting. Stan's been playing at an elite level for a good chunk of time now.

Yep and usually take his game to another level in GS finals

It is funny, with Federer fans that the one guy who stands the best chance to obliterate Federer's record of 18 GS is tagged as a roider in other to demean his achievements. It is understandable as a lot of partisan fans say the same thing about Serena Williams, the greatest female player of all time.

Hahahahahaaa. A comeback indeed. Congratulations, Rafa, the greatest clay court player that ever lived.

On the mens side anyway. Chris Everet would have won 3 more (1 more than buttpicker has now) had she not foregone the French in the mid 70s to play WTT. She was undefeated on clay all 3 of those years.
