Nadal versus Federer -The Final Everyone Wants

Ok. It's a miracle. Nadal made the Wimbledon final. Now he has to play Fed tomorrow.
What should we look for?

In my opinion, the most critical matchup will be the Nadal lefty slice serve against the Federer backhand return. This is partly what killed Federer at Roland Garros -- he tried to come over his returns with topspin instead of just slicing them back.

On grass, the slice is a far more effective shot and I'm sure this will be Federer's plan. He should get a lot of returns back in play.

As for Nadal, the key will be what he does with these low slice returns. He needs to take control of the point right away with his forehand.

Anyways, should be a very interesting tactical match.
