And there we go. Novak never got going and you got the impression that Nadal knew he had to close it out in 4 to win, but I think his reign at RG will be over next year. He got lucky with the rain delay and it saved his ass.

Djokovic on all other surfaces is just miles better than everyone else. He's becoming the Federer of this generation and I would back him to win this next year.

Good win for Nadal though to halt the tide of losing to Djokovic in slam finals.

Djokovic was below-par in every match he played this tournament and he still took Nadal to four sets. Well done Nadal though, best tennis player ever IMO.

On grass though, Djokovic destroyed Nadal at the Wimbledon final last year (bar the third set) and if he wins that he could go to the next French Open trying to emulate Rod Laver again.
