Rafael Nadal wins US Open

Last night Nadal beat Djokovic in a tough 4 sets to become US Open Champion.  In doing this he also joined an elite group of players to complete a career slam.  At the age of only 24 surely it’s not long until he will be overtaking Roger Federer and placing himself top of the pack. 

The final was a thriller, with both men giving it their all, and especially in Djokovic’s case, leaving their heart and soul out on court.  What a fight of a match.  Unfortunately there was only ever likely to be one winner, and in the words of Novak Djokovic himself: “Right now he’s the best player in the world and he absolutely deserves this title.”

Congratulations to Nadal, his biceps and his fine fine ass.
