best murray's ever played imo and he still lost. djokovic's mental strength is unbelievable.

murray's just unfortunate that he's playing in an era when there's three of the greatest players of all time. i still maintain he's win a slam.

That was amazing.

BTW Piers Morgan and rat boy going at it on twitter if anyone is interested. Piers claims Tennis is as physically demanding as footy hence footballers should not moan about playing games in quick succession. He really is a prat of the highest order.

I like Piers, he might be a c*nt but I love it how he gets under the skin of every manchester united player on twitter :D

Djokovic edged it in the end, but Nadal is class! he took the defeat very well!

do you disagree? i mean, 6 hours of that kind of physical intensity isn't exactly a walk in the park, is it? not to mention that djokovic played for 5 and a half hours on friday as well. they have huge respect from me.

great final, chuffed Novak took it. There's not a lot between them at all (when you take away the clay court achievements anyway) but I'd be peeved if I was Nadal. That 'out' call put him right off

I'm a Federer fan and hope he gets another slam this season

Agree with that, physical and mental intensity shown was amazing especially as you say Rafa had extra day off

sorry but I actually agree with Morgan on this issue and this issue alone. There is not a single football player even closer to the fitness levels of Nadal or Djokovich. I mean a 5 hour match where they are constantly doing shuttle runs and hitting the ball as hard as they can, it is simply staggering, amazing match, shame one of them had to loose.

Anyone watching the Roland Garros (french open) ?  Nadal had a tough last two sets against Schwank today, I thought the Argentinian did well but Nadal proved to be better and more powerful.

Andy Murray also advances, but Caro Wozniacki lost :( .. really happy Serena Williams got knocked out! couldn't believe it

Just watched Djokovic and Seppi. Even when Seppi went two sets up you just knew he couldn't close it out.

Nadal has so got this sewn up though...

It's a typical Djokovic win, it happens all the time.
