And what struck me in the end was the graciousness and dignity of both men. I listened to Rafa talk about his respect for his opponent at a moment when some hubris would have been understandable...but he was the kind of champion I could happily watch with my kids...hard working, dedicated, passionate...and ultimately humble, even in victory. I will be a fan of the "boy from Mallorca" for many years to come.

My eyes were glued to this marathon for 4 hours and 48 minutes! This was the greatest and perhaps the best quality tennis I have ever witnessed in any tournament. Congrats to Nadal for taking down the great Federer. What an epic five set match by the two titans of tennis. My eyes were glued to this marathon for 4 hours and 48 minutes!
