easy win for Djokovic and his magic chin. no surprise really.

No1e destroyed Rafa and in the most of points I had impression he could do with the ball whatever he wanted. No wonder Rafa gave up running after some balls in the second set. I enjoyed the match so much.

I only watch the first set, and a bit of the second, but there was some very good work from Nadal.  As I said earlier, their levels were vastly different, so Nadal was never going to win, but is anyone willing to say that it was more interesting than the scoreline?

Yeah, I agree with you, and I stated that the quality of Rafa's game on hardcourts this year, was perhaps better than anywhere else.  I think what did him in set # 1 was losing his serve for the 2nd time after he was up 40:0, that is kind of hard to recover from.  If he were able to hold then, it would have been only 1 break of serve difference and who knows how the first set would have played out.

The first set was more interesting than the scoreline... I don't think the second one was.
