Federer has had more chances but has blown all of them. He is down 2 sets to 0. The rain-delay has postponed what I now think will be a straight set Nadal victory.

Quoted: C'mon Federer how many breakpoint chances are you going to NOT take advantage of?

Hmm, looks like Federer is in a little rut.

Quoted: Roger Federer lost again, this time in one of the biggest tennis upsets in memory. Mardy Fish, an American ranked 98th, shocked No. 1 Federer in straight sets Saturday, with the lopsided score -- 6-3, 6-2 -- making it even more of a stunner. Fish, who pulled off by far the biggest of his upsets he's strung together this week in the Pacific Life Open, moved into Sunday's final against No. - Tennis news

Good point..nothing settled.

Quoted: But as far as settling who might be the better of the two, forget about it. Sampras, lacking match play, is now 36 years old and in his sixth year of retirement. Federer, a decade younger, is in the midst of perhaps the worst start of his career.

The 26-year old Federer edged the 36-year old Sampras in this exhibition match.

Quoted: "I don't think winning or losing was really the issue tonight," said Federer, who perhaps found it easier to think that way as Monday turned into Tuesday, given that he did come out on top 6-3, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (6). "The winner was tennis. The winner was tennis in America."

Djokovic just beat Federer in straight sets. Will Federer be able to win two more majors and tie Sampras's record, or is Federer's reign over?

Quoted: MARK Woodforde ignored world rankings and grand slam experience yesterday to explain why Novak Djokovic can win the Australian Open - the fear factor.

I went to bed thinking Federer had lost. Amazing.

Sampras started out strong before Federer took over and dominated.

Quoted: Sampras came out fighting, hitting two fierce aces in his first service game and breaking his opponent's serve, before taking a 4-2 lead courtesy of a delightful drop shot.

I'd imagine Sampras doesn't stand a chance, but we'll see.

Quoted: World number one Roger Federer will face Pete Sampras in three exhibition matches this week.

Federer had no trouble displacing his nemesis Nadal this time.
