goldust40 goldust40 Captain Red Pants!!! AGAIN! TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 11/07/03 Posts: 32180 Loc: London, England	Six hours of some of the best tennis I've ever seen in gruelling heat, which ended at 2 AM, and they still managed to compose themselves and look immaculate for their post-match speeches. Even the great Rod Laver was in awe. _________________________ http://www.tripwire-magazine.com

Plus, Djokovic played nearly 5 hours at the highest level less than than 2 days before. He's probably the best athlete/sports person in the world at the moment. It will be interesting to see how Nadal recovers from this psychologically.

s-man s-man TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 03/10/04 Posts: 13035 Loc: RedSox/Celtics Country	I saw most of this match and was in awe of how they both continued to strike the ball so well. One of the commentators said that Nadal was actually hitting the ball harder in the 5th set then he had in the 1st set! _________________________ My CAF galleries - Check it out!!!

I thought Nadal looked down and out after the third set, and that Djokovic had really got his number. Somehow Nadal managed to get back into it in the fourth, which should at least give him a crumb of comfort. Although he messed up on a pivotal point that would've taken him clear by a break in the final set, he made sure that Djokovic had to work for the title. Remarkable how composed Djokovic looked after the game. _________________________ http://www.tripwire-magazine.com

Remarkable how composed Djokovic looked after the game. I felt that Djokovic was somewhat below par in the first and fourth sets and he really gave those away. Baring injury and serious lack of form he looks best placed of any player I've ever seen during the Open area to complete the Grand Slam - and that includes Federer when he was at his majestic best in 2005/06.
