re: US Open Men's Final: Djokovic BEATS Nadal, 6-2, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1

I'll miss you.

I hate nadal he's such a grinder he just hits it back every damn time. Djokovic used some gamesmanship so what? More power to him he didn't break any rules. I'd be so pissed if it came out he was doping Lance Armstrong style. I like him though so I'm gonna stick with the gluten-free diet story. Plus his GF was much better than Nadals

I know by their actions and their words.

Go back to the Aussie and the words, "The King is dead" among other things.

There has been several instances of a lack of class from Joke and his bunch. Joke resorts to impersonating others to help repair damage to his image.

It is what it is from them.

Why was Novak serving under 90 mph using his second serve the entire 4th set if his back wasn't hurting??? Seems like he was stiff to me and still dominated Rafa in the 4th using his second serve the entire time. I think Rafa threw the kitchen sink at him in the 3rd and barely won the set and then was out of gas in the 4th. Rafa is a great champion and showed that heart tonight, even though he was outmatched.

Class is overrated. Personality is not. Give me Mcenroe and Agassi over Borg and Sampras all day.

He served with his second serve just to bolster his heinous deception apparently

all of the haters on DJ obviously never watched Ivan Lendl back in the day. LIke a goddamn machine on the court, no emotion, no nothing. Although he was from Czech., it felt more like a guy from Russia at the end of the Cold War - a total enemy.

Some kind of aggravating to see him beat Americans, Mcenroe, Connors, etc..

What? Lendl was constantly showing emotion, but not like Connors. Lendl's head-bob after every winning point was nauseating.

He also didn't mind staring down others or firing shots at their heads when they were at net.

Lendl was a workout machine, but did not lack emotion as you are so wrong about.

He was great, JUST couldn't get over the top. However he had a much larger pool of GREAT Players he had to compete with.

NO EMOTION was his downfall. The CROWD was NEVER behind him. A VERY IMPORTANT aspect of tennis.

Great final. Rafa is an absolute warrior and a great guy off the court. But, for people critizing Nole, Rafa is just as big a douche, bully, and crybaby as anyone else out there on the court. YOU have to play at HIS pace. He has to be the second guy out of the locker room or whatever, you have to deal with the buttpick, headwipe right, nose touch, headwipe left combo before every serve. And he has been the maestro of medical timeouts and bitching about injuries. To his credit, today is the first time I have ever really seen him just get tired.
