Prakash in Wimbledon qualifiers' final round

London: India's Prakash Amritraj moved into the final round of Wimbledon qualifiers with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Britain's Daniel Cox.

Prakash, ranked 154, came up with a superb serve and volley game as he pinned down Cox, an aggressive baseliner.

"The conditions were ideal," Prakash said. "I was focussed from the start, though I let him back in the match."

The 18-year-old Cox admitted he was taught a harsh lesson on grass.

"I'm a bit disappointed to be honest - I was a bit too passive with my game," said Cox. "I did not really put him under any pressure and I did not really feel good about my shots."

"I was hitting and missing - either I was playing well and hitting some good shots or I was really bad and I couldn't really get the balance right.

"I was looking to play the perfect game and that's not what the big players do. The top people do the basics really well and I need to learn that," said the 627-ranked player.

Prakash next plays 28-year-old American Michael Yani who beat Japanese Go Soeda 6-2, 7-6 (5). The two have played each other once before, at the Dallas Challenger earlier this year where Prakash beat Yani in straight sets.

This is Prakash's best performance here.

In his three attempts to qualify for Wimbledon, he has never made it past the second round.

His famous father Vijay Amritraj made his last appearance here 28 years ago in the quarter-finals.

In the men's qualifying doubles, India's Somdev Devvarman and his South African partner Kevin Anderson upset eighth-seeded Ukranians Sergei Bubka and Sergiy Stakhovsky 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 to advance to the second round.

They next play Italian Alessandro Motti and Australian Joseph Sirianni, who took out third-seeded Russian pair Michail Elgin and Alexandre Kudryavtsev 6-1, 7-6(6).

Nadal v Federer live streaming

Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal

We've reached the final of the 2009 Australian Open Men's Tennis Championship, and we're set to witness yet another battle of the tennis titans as World No. 1 Rafael Nadal meets World No. 2 Roger Federer for the seventh time in a Grand Slam final.

After some surprising results that saw both players faced with five set matches by unexpected opposition, the top two seeds have overcome all other threats to progress to their first meeting since the epic five-set marathon in the final of Wimbledon 2008

With both players showing some of their best form in the tournament, which of the two champions will be able to produce something brilliant that will tip the balance in what is set to be another enthralling match between tennis's top two men?

Roger Federer

This match will be Roger Federer's fourth appearance in the final of the Australian Open, with the World No. 2 winning all three of his previous appearances.

In his last two matches, we have witnessed the 27-year-old Swiss champion find the form which originally propelled him into tennis's top spot, firstly by demolishing Juan Martin del Potro in just 80 minutes in the quarter-finals, and then by soundly dispatching of former arch-rival Andy Roddick in a confident straight-sets display in the semi-finals.

On his current form Federer once again looks near-unstoppable, and it will surely take something extremely special and brilliant to stop the former World No. 1 from claiming his fourth title in Melbourne.

Rafael Nadal

World No. 1 Rafael Nadal was having what could only be described as an effortless and unchallenging run to his first ever Australian Open Final, after defeating his first five opponents in simple straight-sets encounters. That is, until he met fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco in the semi-finals.

In an incredible and ultimately unexpected display, Nadal had to produce his best form to post the victory in a five-set, five hours and 14 minutes marathon that set the record for the longest ever Australian Open match to date.

To Nadal's credit, the length and difficulty of this match was not the result of the 22-year-old dropping the level of his game in any way, but rather, that his opponent found the best form of his career and pushed the reigning Wimbledon and French Open champion to his limit.

The victory is undoubtedly a testament to the World No. 1's stamina and mental prowess, but it will remain to be seen whether he will have the energy left to put in a similar performance against an even greater foe in Federer.
