In spite of the tremendous form shown by Mr. Berdych- who, for the record, bears an uncanny resemblance to an X-Files mutant by the name of Eugene Tooms- in dispatching Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic back-to-back to achieve his place in this final, I feel compelled to favor the experience and head-to-head dominance of world #1 Rafael Nadal on this occasion. Another near-flawless showing from Berdych could see his flat hitting and superior firepower keep Nadal on the defensive and carry him to a historic victory, but the combination of Berdych's established tendency towards choking on the biggest occasions and Nadal's proven tenacity and nerve lead me to see this as unlikely. I will cast my official prediction in favor of a Nadal victory in four sets.
