Woke up at 7AM to catch the late sets. That was truly an amazing comeback. I'm not the biggest Nadal fan as I grew up being a fan of Roger Federer and naturally Nadal was his biggest rival.

But that was a great tennis match. What makes Nadal and the rest of the Big Three special is their capacity to get sharper and better as the game progresses. I think they have the mental fortitude and physical strenght to thrive in 5-set matches as they played most of their professional live in best-of-5 games. For the new guard I think its always going to be a struggle to play 5-set matches when most tournaments have been downgraded to best-of-3.

I feel bad for Daniil who gave everything he had in an environment that was hostile to him. Valiant effort and I like his personality. I think he has a lot to give to the tennis world in the future.

For me, Federer will always be the most elegant tennis player. Federer is like an artist in the court. But Nadal is now ahead with the 21st major and you have to wonder how much further would Nadal be in that race if it weren't for his persistent injuries over the years. All the respect to him.
