Last year, Fed lost only two sets heading into the final. Same for Nadal. Nobody can touch either of them. It seems exceedingly unlikely that someone will go on a streak and beat both of them in a run to the championship. Here’s an analysis of the odds that bookies are offering for various events: http://www.tennis.com/features/general/features.aspx?id=79422. In short, at least one of them will be in the final. If it’s not both, it’s not going to be any fun to watch.

I am a little surprised that you’ll “be tremendously disappointed if it’s not a rematch of last year’s.”
As someone less familiar, it seems like it would be surprising if the rematch doesn’t happen, and that surprising fact would be interesting in itself.
