Rafa had to bring the heat in the second set otherwise this
match would have been lost.
he fired 17 winners in that 2nd set compared to just 5 in the
first set.
he was left with no options: he had to snatch the 2nd set.

Rafa had 44 winners and 38 unforced errors.
38 unforced errors in just 4 sets is a lot for Rafa but it shows
just how good nole can play on clay.
it was a brutal battle. Rafa was not at his very best but he
managed to get by.

for the record jon wetheim and steve tignor picked Nole to win
RG this year.
and the bookies had Nole winning also.
only Camelot had this right. we said Rafa in straights or 4 sets
at best.

Him and Uncle Toni said that. But, it was still amazing to
witness it. To see him harness all of his powers to salvage that
match was simply breathtaking. I don't know what I will do when
that man retires. I can't imagine anyone who can
compartmentalize everything the way he does.
Regardless of what's going on, he maintains the same steely
composure and sets about completing the task, even if it will
end in disappointment. Just a remarkable human being. And he
does it with such grace and aplomb.
There is so much to learn from him.
