Excellent tennis ahead

After watching Mikhail Youzhny dismantle Rafael Nadal at the end of their quarterfinal match today, I'm quite looking forward to a Federer-Youzhny final. Nadal looked a little off and on his best day lacks the serve of a Roddick (Youzhny's next opponent) or a Federer, but Youzhny played like he should be ranked about 50 slots higher than his current number 54, with nothing at all to suggest this outing was a fluke. The "stubbly Muscovite" (NYT) at times combined improbable angles and power in a way that may be described as Federeresque.

I predict he'll get past Roddick and take a set from the only truly Federereque player there's ever been.
