What. A. Match. Djokovic.Nadal.
Three Slams in a year for Djokovic and even without those you'd still say he has had a brilliant one given where he was, say two years ago. Amazing improvement.
As for Rafa, well he never gives up and certainly played his part in it. Djokovic just has the game that can take it away from him however. Four hours + of stupidly long rallies and unbelievable power hitting.
Plenty of mark out moments. That 17 minute long game in particular.
Its over
Shit last set
First 3
A shame it ended like that. It looked like Nadal had lost all his energy, rather than Djokovic.
What a match though
Djokovic
Nadal
Tennis
Nadal is going to kick a cat I think.

It's on!
Wonder if Nadal will play in the Davis Cup.
Djokovic will have so many ranking points to defend next year. Unless he has another superhuman year, someone else could steal the number one ranking.
Time for Bogdanovic to claim his rightful place
Great advert for Tennis. I crashed out and slept on the sofa during the last set because it was so one sided!
Credit to Djok though for finishing it like that. I thought Nadal had gained a 2nd wind but it wasn't to be.
Some of those rallies, wow. Tennis is easily the most physically demanding sport around, you need to use every ounce of strength and mental ability you have and last night demonstrated that.
Tennis.
Djokovic was injured and retired in that match, not sure it can really be counted as a genuine victory against him.
The only one that beat him fully fit and won a whole match was Federer.
