It was truly a battle of the current lords of tennis. That it took Novak more than five hours to subdue a stubborn Rafa just tells volumes of how close the match was. It was really a long match!! I caught the first four games then I had to leave the house to bring the kids to the mall - it was a Sunday afternoon after all in Manila. Five hours later, we were headed to the car park when I glimpsed part of the fifth set in TGIF Trinoma and when we arrived home, I was lucky enough to catch the heartstopping last three games! Unbelieveable really! These guys are truly warriors! It might be tough for Rafa to get over this when he came so close, but knowing the champion that he is, he should be able to get over this in time for the clay season.
As for Novak, he is slowly stacking up his Grand Slam trophies and now he has five. He better try to win more since as the scorelines suggest, any of the Top 4 are just as close to him and anything can happen on a given day. But for now, let's give him a big round of applause for winning the longest men's Grand Slam final in history.
