Fernando Gonzalez is 0-9 against Rodger Federer.  Rodger Federer was 91-1 against all other players last year other than Nadal(2-4 against Nadal).  Rodger Federer hasn't dropped a set in this tournament and gave up only two games against Andy Roddick(who serves 150mph) in the last two sets.  Do you think he has a chance??? I don't think so either.  But here's a stat that might draw your attention.  Gonzo in his last match against Tommy Hass had 42 winners and 3 unforced errors, all three came in the second set.  That stat isn't just unheard off it's flat out insane.  Litterally it's almost as rare as striking out 30 batters in major league baseball game.  I don't think that has everone happened but the point is this stat is freakishly intimidating and get's you wondering how rare that stat was.  Fernando has a 100mph forehand and goes big for a lot of shots especially on the forehand side. 


Lets not give this guy to much hype, this is his first finals apperence ever and is a very streaky player.  And lets face it hes playing a guy thats on top of the world, thats going to break almost every record their is in tennis.  If any of you have watched Rodger Federer, you what I'm talking about.  Rodger is more dominant at tennis than Tiger Woods is to golf.  Tune in tonight at 2:30 in the morning (on ESPN central time), or go to bed and watch it tom. morning on ESPN 2 at 11am(central time).
