    Good job Rafa! Very strong finish in Tokyo. That's a nice warm up for Shanghai next week. Please win your first match in Shanghai so I'll be able to see you play :)

    NAdal, a lefty, with awesome speed, power, stamina and humble personality (at least in hero interview) has 43 wins, 9 majors and still 24 years old Federer a classic right-hander of superb, almost ballerinac technical beauty has 63 wins, 16 majors and still only 32-3-4 (?) years old. This kind of competition makes for great fan interest!

    Federer is just 29 years old. I agree that their rivalry is really great for tennis and the fans :)
