Tremendous match. I was happy that Nadal won; I think he deserved it. It was as close as you could imagine, but both in the context of the match and the tournament scene in the past year, Nadal seems to be the stronger player.
But more than the outcome, I was touched by the gracious words Federer and Nadal had for each other after the match. It's great to see two incredible competitors play such a hard-fought match and still value sportsmanship above all else. This is why we have sports.

US is last Grand Slam of the year but there are 2 ATP masters series Tourneys in Canada (21/07) and Cincinnati (28/07) where the big guys should all be playing this comes before the Olympics (11/08) before US Open starts (25/08) a busy schedule then!!
