I was suprised with the ease in which Novak beat Rafa. However Novak seemed hungrier for the win and he was blasting winners from all over the court.
Rafa did not come across as his usual focused self and was making a lot of unnecessary errors.
It was only really towards the end of the second set that we started to see Rafa's brilliance.
By that time it was too late and Novak was able to close out the set and the match. From Novak's perspective it was a great match and he was able to retain his title.
From Rafa's perspective he played a poor match and may rue the chance to have picked up this trophy after such a great year.
It wasn't really a great final and as Rafa fan I would have loved for him to win it but I guess it was not meant to be.
Both players will be firm favourites for the Australian Open and for Rafa, 2014 could be the year he makes history. As he is only three grand slams behind Roger Federer.
