US Open - Men's Final

US Open men's final took place yesterday between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. 

Rafael Nadal beat Novak Djokovic in four highly entertaining and competitive sets. It was match a battle of wills as well as  talent. 

Rafa played quite tentatively in the first three sets and in these first three sets he played to Novak strengths. 

It was only in the fourth set that Rafa was able to play his own game and win the match. 

I always thought this match was going to be  physically tough for Novak. He had to play a five set match against Stanislas Wawrinka to reach final. 

Novak played well in the first three sets then seem to lose his momentum in the fourth set. 

It was a good match and I thought that Rafa played key the points better than Novak. 

Rafa has now won thirteen grand slams and health permitting, there no reason why he cannot beat Roger Federer current record of seventeen grand slams in the next few years.
