Congrats to Rafa. He was a better player overall tonight. Novak lost it completely after failing to serve it out in 4th, he fell in pieces completely. He paid the price of not doing enough against Rafa serve, mainly in 3rd and 4th set. He has plenty to regret here.

Novak saves another w/ a wicked return, but can't save the others. Too bad, I was thinking this would go 5

A bhand winner down the line from Rafa seals the match

I do think Djoke is ready to defend Wimby. He just needs a good test before he reaches the QF there so he can be battle tested.

I did say that in a previous post, especially in the buisness end of a Grand Slam you need to be tested, Novak had a pretty easy draw up to the Q/finals, today it showed he was not battle tested, Rafa was tested against FAA, he was ready for this match up

With this win Rafa will move to No 4 ranking after The Young Greek lost his match and did not defend his finialists points from last year.
