The 4th set was a bit of a shambles as he'd spent so much energy in winning the third -it all happened too fast for him to realise. There is a big psychological element in Tennis too don't forget and they both had a lot of ups and downs in the match.
Nadal is the tennis equivalent of a Pitbull -a real gladiator, but he loses sometimes too! As for "Spokovic" - he comes across as a nice guy but i don't like those who just stay on the base-line -give me a bit of serve and volley every time. Bring back McEnroe!!!
On a different subject, I must say i preferred it when maurray was sponsored by Fred Perry -he was much more elegant on court and always in white. Wasn't keen on the Adidas Orange and blue ensemble.
Winner for elegance and style is Federer every time - if it weren't for his nose he'd be perfect!
