What a stunning, breathless marathon final it was!
I watched the whole game, another sleepless night...
But it is well worthy to watch and sleep late~

I would say, Roger wasn't playing his best tennis,
so many unforced errors, which doubled that of Rafael...
Rafael was deemed unbeatable at all,
power strikes, variable serves, rapid steps, few errors...
Roger merely needed perfect strikes to win every single point...

Perhaps the rain delay helped Rafael a bit,
because his play needs more energy,
the suspension merely did more favour to him,
especially in the final set when the momentum of the game seemed lie to Roger's side.

Roger did well for a try to a big come back from two sets to nil,
he almost did it, just Rafael played even better,
though I like Roger more, but Rafael is well deserved for the title.
I can see his improvements from time to time, incredible.

It's really pity that Roger couldn't break Borg's record,
but more important is, hoping that he won't lose the spirit after this defeat.
He is still the best player I believe,
yet if Rafael keeps improving this way,
in the very soon future their position may swap possibly,
cheer up, you are still no. 1, Roger Federer, don't mess up!
