Verdasco tips Federer over Nadal for title
After losing to Rafael Nadal in straight sets in the U.S. Open quarterfinals, Fernando Verdasco says his compatriot will still be an underdog against Roger Federer if the two face off for the title.
“He’s playing good,” said Verdasco. “If I am not wrong, I think that he will play the final against Roger. It’s gonna be a tough match, because I think Roger play really good in these conditions. It’s going to be a very tough final for Rafa if he plays against Roger in the final.
“I think if I need to bet here, I will bet for Roger. I think that he won five times here and he like these conditions.”
Nadal takes on Mikhail Youzhny in the semifinals, while Federer will face Novak Djokovic.
