The sports world will celebrate on Sunday --
FEDAL -- the dream final matchup for this year's Australian Tennis Open!
Federer and Nadal, aging and injury-prone champions, making it to the final two in the dream matchup in the sport and in sports in general!
Last night I watched Nadal's epic match with Dimitrov, lasting 5 hours -- and I have never spoken to /screamed and yelled at/moaned at my TV set so much -- LOL! It was such a thriller that no movie can top!
Here's an account of what Rafa has meant to the sport and on his rivalry with Roger...and after last night's spectacular and hard-fought win!

Whoever wins, a record will be set in tennis annals.
Federer will claim his 18th Grand Slam win while Nadal will "bite" his 15th Grand Slam trophy! Nadal will also be the first tennis champion who will claim a double career slam ( winning all Grand Slams) in the Open Era.
The two, despite the rivalry, have friendship and great respect for each other over the years!
Where are the matches played? There is a Hugh Jackman connection somewhere there -- at the Rod Laver Arena where Hugh held his TBFO and Broadway to Oz shows!
