Australian Open - day twelve

Day twelve of the Australian Open and in the second men's semi- finals, Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer in straight sets. 

This result did not come as a huge surprise to me as Roger is not getting any younger and as much as some  tennis pundits still think of him as world number one. 

 

I think Roger's time has come and gone and he is not getting any younger and yes he is supremely talented. 

But it is asking too much to expect him to compete and beat men that are five years younger than him now that he is a step slower.   

So the men's final will be between Stanislas Wawrinka and Rafael Nadal. This is a match that I think Rafa should win quite comfortably.
