I watched what I could in real time here (12:30 AM start), then caught up on a lot of the rest in replay during the Stupor Bowl pregame and whatnot. Rafa's semifinal match was even better IMO, but this one was epic as well.

You could see in his mind Nadal had the whole tournament won before he played his first match. He was so sure of it no one could have beaten him (even if it did look likely in the semi). Was awesome to see him so determined and focused. I would rate his match against Verdasco as one of the best games I've seen.

one thing I hate about tennis is the commentators. They are so far up Nadal's *** it makes me sick.

I can't even explain how much I hate them and how sickening they are.

If you watched the Australian telecast, you would have heard the sheer annoyance of Jim Courier. Can't say I hate the guy though, he just bothers me a little so I turn the sound down.

I thought Federer was supposed to be the best tennis player ever? Each time I see him play, he is losing to this Nadal guy.

And he's never won the French open either Which IMO disqualifies him from best tennis player ever...until he wins the French Open I guess. Then I'll be open to discussion about it.

Yea, Nadal is a beast on clay. I don't think I've ever seen him lose a match on clay.
