That match was simply amazing. As much as I hate to say it, I think today was saw the beginning of the passing of the torch. This match helped Nadal a lot more than it helped Federer from a competition perspective. Federer has that extra gear that he seems to be able to switch on when he needs and almost becomes super human. That 8 out of 9 point stretch he put on late in the 5th was some of the best shotmaking that has ever been seen. What a treat....Was really nice to see Borg there. He looked good all things considered.
Big props to Roger and the white suit....in a world of spoiled superstars it's nice to see people like Roger and Tiger show the amount of class they do.
