⇒ Winner: NADAL!

holy sh!t!!! amazing final. dramatic with twists and turns--2 rain delays and a resurgent Federer again and again and again. 2 championship points saved and a 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(7-5), 6-7(10-8), 9-7 five-set thriller! the final set was played by gods! They pulled off shots most players don't even dream about! Nadal was RELENTLESS. Attack, attack, attack...non-stop, never backed down. Federer could not handle the new shots Nadal was coming up with--stuff Federer used to do to his opponents!

Unbelievable...they finished after almost 5 hours of play! In fact, they almost played in darkness...any later, they would have had to resume play the next day!
