Finally, Rafa achieves a career Grand Slam by winning this year's US Open men's title. It was an inspiring win from him, and he took to task the nice, defensive play of his rival Novak Djokovic. You can actually see that Rafa really wanted this title, from the onset of this tournament. And it was also evident in the finals. With Federer out, he knew he had a good chance of completing his collection, and this was the year that he finally achieved it! Is it possible for him to win 16 Grand Slam titles like Federer? He's only 24 so it is possible, if he continues to play well and not get injured.
