What a great Australian Open final between Federer and Nadal!!
I was on pins and needles and of course rooting for Fed. But for a while there it looked like Fed was going to succumb to the Nadal hex once again. Somehow he gutted it out, and won a 5-set match for his 18th major title of his career. Nadal stays tied with Pete Sampras with 14 all time. This was big, because had Nadal won, he would've closed within two majors, and Fed is 5 years older than Nadal. Taking nothing away from Rafa, who's a great all time tennis player in his own right. But what.... 9 of the 14 are in the French Open? He's more of a clay specialist. I'm kinda hoping Federer has one or two more in him. The way he went through this tournament, there's no reason why he can't add one or two more majors. Honestly, I thought he'd fall to Wawrinka in the semis.
