Today's final was one of the best tennis matches I have ever seen. I haven't been a Nadal fan, but today he seemed to be more mature, with fewer antics on the court, and his game was amazing. Roger Federer, for my money the classiest champion in sports and #2 isn't even close, was in big trouble at times but had the ability to raise his game to an unbelievable level at the times when it mattered most.
The match seemed a lot like (dating myself) one of the McEnroe-Borg classics, with both of those two present and JMc saying as much. Federer told Nadal that they both deserved to win it, and I couldn't agree more. I wish I had recorded it, because this one belongs to history.
Tennis was my game before cycling came along, and I played it for decades. I can't possibly relate to today's level of play, but I can totally relate to the pyschology and pressure of the game, which can be immense. Both of these players were up to it today.
