After five sets and over five hours on court, Rafael Nadal overcame compatriot Fernando Verdasco to reach his first Australian Open final. However, it’s his nemesis Roger Federer who starts as favourite:
Roger Federer [1.68]
» On all three occasions that Federer has reached the Australian Open final he has triumphed.
» Andre Agassi is the only man since 1962 to have won four times at Melbourne Park. Federer is a three-time champion.
Rafael Nadal [2.46]
» Nadal boasts a 12-6 record over the world number two and won each of their four clashes last year. They haven’t met since the Wimbledon final.
» However, the Spaniard has got one stage further every year in Australia, reaching the third round on his first visit. Since then he has reached the fourth, the quarters and then the semis. That indicates that this year he will be the runner-up.
