A high-quality match from 2 champions at their peaks. I also thought Federer slipped a bit in the 3rd and moreso in the 5th for some reason. Up until that point it could have gone either way. I didn't understand the crying, maybe he thought he had a better chance against Nadal on hard courts and blew his chance, maybe it was not beating Sampras' record. Nadal's composure, shotmaking ability and fighting spirit are remarkable for a 22 year old.
