That may have been the greatest tennis final ever.

I am glad I saw it.

No longer will Nadal have the 'clay only" monkey on his back.

Great Show!

Although, the sportscasters kept saying a new era had begun, not so sure i agree with that. Federer is to good to just fade away now.

He so deserved it. Whilst both players played their hearts out Nadal really stood out for me.
Not the last we will hear of Federer though by a long shot.

Dunno...

Nadal is five years younger than Federer and once World Class Tennis Players start to push thirty, they tend to lose their World Class status quickly.

Still, I am glad Nadal broke through on another surface and it should make for a great US Open.

Yeah, superb. 'Nothing to choose between them....on another day, it would have gone the other way.

For quality, it was the best final I've seen. For drama, the Borg/McEnroe final of 1980 will take some eclipsing.
