Best match i have ever seen. I can't imageine how frustrating it must be to play Nadal, everything comes back. He's amazing and uncle Tony is a genius.

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.

Anyone in the US watch? It was on NBC here and they timed out at 3 PM EDT , I couldn't watch the end. Sucked big time. The rain delay screwed up the match. What channel or network did you all watch it on?

And today it was on ESPN classic. That's right, I watched it twice. I can't recall ever seeing two more mentally tough competitors in tennis.

US Open is the last major of the year, I believe.

Busy indeed. Let's see if Nadal's knees hold up on the hard stuff.
