Rafael Nadal will get at least one more crack at Roger Federer in the Wimbledon finals after knocking off Rainer Schuettler in straight sets 6-1, 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 at the All England Club.
Nadal maintained strong control of his service game, putting 81 percent of his first serves in play and 82 percent of those serves were winners. The Spaniard only faced two break point opportunities and lost just one of those while he broke Schuettler’s serve five times.
Nadal has reached the Wimbledon finals the past two years but has fallen both times to Roger Federer. Nadal has won four Grand Slam singles titles, all at the French Open.
