He won the US tennis open.

one rally was over 50 shots! but Djokovic is making a habit of losing finals

Despite the fact that he's second in the year's race you could say that it's been a disappointing year for Djokovic. Only three titles, albeit including Australia. It's been Nadal's year, no question of that.

I was about to post a well done to my idol Rafa as no-one else had done so yet. I'm so happy for him, despite that Wimbledon glitch he has made a miraculous recovery this year. What a star.

I enjoyed the match (thanks to the son-in-laws Sky subscription) but was rather surprised at the number of unforced errors Djokovic made, most uncharacteristic.............but well played Nadal.

Glad you told us.

If you had not told us we never would have found out.

Of course there is nowhere else to find the news is there.

Not as thought we don't have 24 hours news channels, the internet, the BBC web site, loads of other news web sites......

Bit grumpy today VHG?

[Butterbun]

Are you not a fan of his then VHG? Well, never mind. I am pleased for him. Not very often the defending champion wins again, it seems like a different champion each year and someone had to say it. cheer up.

Nadal is a great champion but i fear that injury may shorten his career

[pator]

Soon to be no.1 again - great champion with a lovely personality - Nadal........

[Prudie]

I would love to love this man....

[Mattk]

Not a Nadal fan as he always looks so miserable but Federer must be nervous that his majors record could go in the next couple of years.

We saw the first 2 sets on German Eurosport (free) on astra 19 but then we had to go to bed as it was on so late so missed the finish. Well done Rafa!
If you have a satellite dish it is possible to fit it with a LNB that can pick up Astra 2 and Astra 19.
