Another Federer versus Nadal Final At Hamburg Masters

Roger Federer will play again against Rafael Nadal after they both win semi-finals at Hamburg Masters. In order to gain its place in the final Federer defeated Carlos Moya, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, in about two hours.

"My confidence is ok again. I just hope I can play one more match and take the title home….To beat Nadal in the final would boost my energy, confidence and motivation. But losing wouldn't be the end of the world.", Federer said.

Moya said: "I felt I had the chance to beat him today. But in the important moments he brings out the best."

Nadal acceded into the final by wining in front of Lleyton Hewitt, 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 in 2:35 hours. Spaniard Rafael Nadal is playing in Hamburg for the second time. If Nadal wins Sunday he will be the first player to win all clay Masters in one season. Earlier this year Nadal lifted the trophy in Monte Carlo and Rome.

"The match was crazy in the end. It was a tough match, Lleyton played at a good level," said Nadal.

Hewitt said: "He is the best player, you don't get any cheap points against him. You have to go out there and beat him. I didn't take my chances.
