Nole was tired I probably wouldnt have suffered as much as this if it wasnt for that fucking Fred Perry Mantra.

[Francesco]

I saw that coming a month ago... didn't I? Still... I wanted Joko to win it anyway.

Congratulations Nadal! Only caught the last set and a bit, but what a match it looked. Some of the shots were borderline ridiculous.

Nice to see Nadal win another slam after his injury.

I only saw the 54 shot rally in my Facebook news feed

Insane.

I'm a little late but big ups for my homie Nole... The way he man handled Del Porto in China was just incredible.

^i wouldn't use the term manhandled!! Lol the level of play in that final set was incredible though, brilliant forehands, unreal returns, impeccable serves, minimal errors. I LOVED it. The tour really needs Tsonga and Del Potro to step up, shake things up and make tournaments exciting.

I used the term because Del Porto was more than impressive in the first set but was still lucky not to lose it 6 :0... Djokovic was insane in this first set. The second half of the third set was absolutely similar too.
I really hope Djoko is gonna regain that #1 spot before the end of the year.

[Francesco]

Damn... Nole just murked Nadal!

I enjoyed that

Djokovic has been nothing but an absolute MONSTER since the US Open. After losing that world number one he has defeated Del Potro twice, Nadal twice, Wawrinka and Federer and any other pretender to the throne. Just beautiful man. His confidence is high, focus impeccable. I loved it.

All in all, its been a very good tennis season in general. Intriguing storylines and sprinklings of good matches. And the whole ATP Finals was just great. Even Federer stepped up his game and made it close and exciting. I'm beginning to like tennis more than soccer tbh.

I know... Right? Nole has been demolishing everybody since losing his #1 spot.

[Francesco]

Hewitt won his first title in like a 2 or 3 years beating Federer in Brisbane's final.

[Francesco]

Djoko & Dimitrov out... That sucks.

Nadal vs. Federer today... Probably the last ever chance for Federer to get another Grand slam title considering the tiring game Nadal had & the fact Australian open isn't his thing in general.
I mean that's not even the final but arguably the bigger obstacle for Federer on the way.

[Francesco]

Vamos, Rafa!!!

Indeed... Federer was brushed aside.

[Francesco]

Venga, Rafa...
Two more sets with such a bad pain... poor him...
---------------------------------
6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3

It's all good... That was never his turf anyway. If he's fit he'll yet again humble everybody staying on his way on Roland Garros in a few months time.
