It is Nadal Vs Gonzalez in the Olympics Finals

As the Olympics tennis event winds up to its last days, the
draw has been thinned down to just two players, who will fight
it out for the coveted Olympic gold medal, and they are
world no.2 Rafael Nadal of Spain and Chilean Fernando Gonzalez.

In thrilling semifinal matches, Gonzalez defeated Federer assassin
James Blake in three sets, 4-6, 7-5, 11-9, while Nadal got the
better of his hard court 'nemesis' Novak Djokovic in another
hard fought three setter, 6-4, 1-6, 6-4.

Federer still has a chance to win a tennis gold for Switzerland as
he and Stanislas Wawrinka had entered the doubles final, defeating
world no.1 doubles pair of Bob and Mike Bryan 7-6, 6-4. They will
play Swedes Simon Aspellin and Thomas Johansson in the final.
