Oh what a game!

They battled it out for 5hr 14 mins and ran like a mad hatter for every point and not an inch of court was left untouched. I am a big Nadal fan but for this match I was surely supporting the underdog Verdasco. He matched Nadal ball for ball and for every angled shot he had another better one but then I am not sure I will call it lack of experience or some supreme intervention when Verdasco double faulted at match point !!

Nadal just won the game by winning one extra point (193-192) that says it all ! For me irrespecitive of who picks the title today, Verdasco's game has been a revelation and I doubt the Finals will surpass the epic semi-finals clash or I hope it does for the worthy champion.

Todays final also went the whole way but wasn't the same level of play through out the match and the real winner was the player who deserved it Rafa!!
Rafa is simply playing out-of-this-world standard tennis.
Federer got real emotional after the match. Hope they play the French and Wimbledon finals too.
Somehow for almost a year now , Fedex seems to have lost the hunger or passion that was visible in his earlier game or maybe its Nadal that's getting to him but then there are other players who have also beaten him as well in recent times.
