There it is, another howler from Nadal.

Deserved winner, those first two sets were incredible.

Djokovic justifies the #1 Ranking. By far the best player in the world right now. Congrats!

Great stuff from Djokovic. Nadal was way below par and he never allowed him to play himself out of it.

Thought Novak was incredible in the 2nd and was incredible at playing the break points. Rafa normally is relentless at defending breaks.

But Rafa's errors were so uncharateristic. The way he feebly dropped the 1st set was most annoying.

Not a fan, but a deserved champion without a shadow of a doubt. He had a wobble in the 3rd set, but he was dominant and that's his 3rd GS win.

Can't be that hard to get a microphone that works and test it?

Rafa's errors I can argue were forced errors. See Djokovic's defense makes any player goes for more. Djokovic will make less errors in long rallies than other players. He has Nadal's number just as Nadal has Federer's number. If they are to play regularly in finals, the results will be just like Nadal vs Federer.
It is amazing that Federer' game is the only one that I think troubles Djovokic.

Not your ignorance. Other peoples for judging them on such silly little petty things.
From the very early, they assumes a "us against the world" mentality and they still seems to have a chip on their shoulders. Djokovic has been booed a couple of times when he first started and I guess it stills robs them

What did his entourage do to make everyone hate them?

I was wondering this. His little bro's celebrating and finger waving in the early stages was a little irritating but I've no idea where the hate is coming from.

Congrats to Djokovic, he gets a lot of stick but I feel most of it is undeserved. He has a very, very bright future.
