I just finished watching the best tennis match that I've seen in many years -- Nadal vs. Verdasco...2 young talented Spainish players battle it out for over 5 hours...I think the match will be replayed on espn2 at 2pm CST today... Nadal Wins Longest Australian Open Match, Meets Federer in Final By Grant Clark Jan. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Top-ranked Rafael Nadal beat fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco in the longest match in Australian Open history to advance to the final against Roger Federer. Nadal won 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 7-6 (7-2), 6-7 (1-7), 6-4 against the 14th seed in a match lasting five hours, 14 minutes to reach his first final at Melbourne Park and his seventh against Federer at a Grand Slam tennis tournament. Federer is bidding for a record-tying 14th major title after losing his past four matches -- all finals -- to Nadal, including at Wimbledon and the French Open last year. Nadal is seeking a sixth Grand Slam title and his first away from the grass courts of Wimbledon and clay of Roland Garros.
