It seems like it didn’t take much for Novak to win. Novak
served better with a total of 8 aces. He also played his backhand with higher
velocity. In the 1st set Rafa started poorly, down 0-3. He was
defeated by Novak 6-3 in approximately 45 minutes. In the final set( 4th game) Rafa
didn’t win a single point resulting in Novak leading the match 3-1. No doubt,
Rafa had a few amazing winners but it wasn’t enough to take Novak out. In the
final game, Rafa managed to deuce by hitting a backhand winner angle shot.
Novak had to defend 3 championship points to finish off his opponent in 1 hour
36 minutes. Nevertheless, Rafael Nadal has had a phenomenal season.
