He walked something like 20 miles of course over an extra long weekend on a fractured tibia and no ACL, and won!

I agree - Tiger Woods and Roger Federer both have that (although Rafa Nadal maybe is getting close to Roger now)
To me, its the sense that when Tiger or Roger hit their form, they arent playing against the field, their playing against history... every time they are in a big final or a major - you just have the expectation of seeing something really special.
