Our Tip: Rafael Nadal to win in five sets.

Preview:

Both the players have played some incredible tennis throughout this tournament, and in terms of matches won previously, Nadal has a 12-0 lead over the Swiss, who will be playing his first Major final. And as per another interesting fact, Wawrinka has never won a set against Nadal.

Rafael Nadal, despite having a blister in his left-hand palm, demolished 17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer in straight sets in their semis match, to improve his all-time record against the Swiss legend to 33-10.

The match is crucial for Rafael Nadal as a victory will tie him with Sampras at 14 Grand Slam titles and make him the first man in the Open era — and only third in history — to win each of the four major titles twice.

The surprise package of this tournament has been Stanislas Wawrinka. After losing in an epic five-setter against Novak Djokovic last year, this time the Swiss made sure the Serb was at the receiving end. Wawrinka’s confidence is on an all-time high and even though he wasn’t at his best against Tomas Berdych in their semi-final encounter, the 28-year-old will once again have to play his best tennis to win his maiden Grand Slam title.
