Federer breaks the Nadal HEX!

[Mark TKO]

Was rooting for Federer but disappointed for Nadal - wouldn't have minded him winning

Fed has been the best player in many slams over the past 3-4 years in getting to the finals / semis but hit a psychological block when he's had Djokovic at the other side of the net and blown it.

He deserved another slam.

I hope Nadal can add another one or two.

Can't see 18 ever being surpassed

Yeah, 18 is a huge number and would seem insurmountable, given the small crowd at the top. I could see the Djokovics, Murrays, Wawrinkas, and even Nadals divvying up the up coming majors. Still, Nadal is at 14 and he seems to own the French. He's also only 30. The one thing going against him I guess is his "shop-worn-ness", if you could put it that way. Either way, I'm ecstatic Roger won this one. IMO, he seemed to have more a mental block against Rafa than either Novak or Murray, with Rafa having a huge edge in head-to-heads.

I do not see either winning many more Grand Slams as I think it was just a blip for the current top players. So enjoy it as it will never happen again.
