Gutted for Roger
In a way, despite losing, I think last night's final proved Federer is still the better player. Everyone's been writing him off this year, saying his powers are waning and they have a point. He's getting on a bit now at 27. But he matched Nadal, a man you could argue is at his absolute peak, almost right to the bitter end and took 2 sets off him. If the Nadal of today could play the Federer of a couple of years ago, Federer would be the clear favourite.
