And now its over.

That last set was very anticlimactic. What happened to Nadal?

Nole, fairly easy sprint from the ground ; bad back and all.

Djokovic- 2011 belongs to him.

That was an epic match. There were so many great points. There aren't too many sporting events that can be riveting for 4+ hours.

Djokovic had the greatest men's tennis season I can recall, even though it isn't really over yet. He has an amazing ability to consistently paint the lines. The rest he got while he received treatment for the 2nd time seemed to give him a 2nd wind.

Nadal is like the NJD of tennis. Great defense and waits for the opponents to make mistakes and beat themselves. His fitness, athleticism and determination to battle for every point are amazing. He might be the greatest grinder I've ever seen in any sport.

Spanish athletes. They don't win by chance!

The federation said it will demand that Canal Plus France withdraw the video and abstain from using the logo. The federation also intends to request compensation for its improper use.

It plans to seek the support of other federations in the suit.

The tennis federation received support from the International Tennis Federation, which viewed the joke about Nadal as an attack on its anti-doping program.

ITF president Francesco Ricci Bitti said in a statement that the TV channel should remove the video and "issue an apology to all Spanish tennis players, who have been unfairly implicated."
