A really enjoyable final, with real tension and back and forth set to set. I knew Fed had to start strong and he did, but when he started to wilt in that second set I thought 'Here we go!'. I think in Federer's favor was that Nadal is also returning from a layoff and had that almost 5 hour semi final which must have taken something out of him. He maintained it well in the first 4, but in that final set he started to crack. Federer was seeing the serve better and though he was feeling it too, could time it better getting all those opportunities to break.

Thrilling match and I am glad Federer won.
