That's it Shawn! Commentators were writing his obituary at 3-1 Novak in the 3rd and he stuck to his task. He's a genuine phenom. He's rebutted Novak's hex too, which is huge for his record. Match-up my ass. It means nothing when you face a guy like Rafa. I remember when peeps were thinking the 7 in a row meant Novak had him.

Eh... :nono

It's a done deal. And also, he's player of the year too, which he wouldn't have been had Novak won today...

It is, but you know how close it was..... Novak almost had him in that third set.

Can't say anything other than congrats friend. I made a serious dent in the scotch supply tonight.

They were definitely playing for bragging rights on the year. I think it has to be Nadal.

They don't award trophies for that...


Well, actually, scratch that. They award runner-up trophies.

You have a weird sense on what makes a match close. As soon as Nole handed that break back the match was completely over and anyone who has seen him play the last couple years could see what was coming. Anyways, that was about as easy of a 4 setter as Rafa could have dreamed of.
