I think it most certainly is. There were question marks about Rafa's form last year, and it was very difficult to tell just what level he was playing at. Andy was supreme in that final, but it was a bit straight-forward.
This time however Rafa has clearly demonstrated a return to form - not the level he was at a few years ago, perhaps, but clearly playing well. To end his 13-match hot streak is quite impressive.
Could be a cracking final if Andy plays like has all week. Big if though, as form seems to go out the window when he plays Novak. Maybe Kei can do us a favour...
