      For real, what kind of witchcraft was that? Stepanek made one unreturnable shot after another and yet the ball kept coming back. I'd resign on the spot if that were me, ain't no way I'm beating someone playing like that.

      Both did so well is what made it so special, I feel like there were 5 or 6 returns that each individually looked very hard. Even the final return attempt Stepanek seemed to do the "right thing" & did connect, it just wasn't enough.

    Rafa, you have been a monolith of this sport. Just like when Roger retired, I feel that a part of me is retiring with you. Tennis will never be the same without you. Your impact on this sport will probably never be fully understood or cuantified. Again, just like with Roger, I will miss seeing you play, the emotions, the fighting, the shots, I will miss waking up in the middle of the night to see you play. I will always be your fan. Enjoy your family and loved ones!

    3:52 This moment is different from 4:44 . In the former Nadal's ball could, _from his body, his hand and racket and the close distance from the net,_ only go cross court: while in the latter case again from all those things mentioned minus the distance from the net (relatively long distance here) the ball could go either straight and long, straight and short, towards Davydenko's body or cross court. So in the first case, Novak and every player in that position could get the point or at least keep the ball in play more if he was in the right position (cross court) while in the latter case it is up to fate (or chances) for the opponent of such ball. At least this is how I see it so comment if you disagree.
