Blood, Sweat & Tears

Jake Niall of The Age delivers this insightful nugget on the final:

Federer does not serve below 50 per cent against Roddick or most players. He does not double-fault on set point, as he did in the third set tiebreaker, against others. Nadal's ability to neutralise winners into rallies (or losers), to keep forcing deuce when Federer is serving, to not concede a single point, drains the magic from Federer's racquet.

Nadal makes Federer sweat it out.

He writes about the psychology of it all. He speaks my language.
