Australian Open Men’s Final Preview: Rafael Nadal v Stanislas Wawrinka

The hotly anticipated semi-final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal was not exactly a classic as Nadal put on a ruthless display winning in three sets, 7-6(4) 6-3 6-3.  In the pre-match poll, it was the second one of the tournament that had been split 50-50 after over 150 votes.  Nadal now takes on Stanislas…
