Yeah. It wasn't one of their classic matches. Roger just wasn't at his best - he was overhitting too many shots, and he handed Rafa that service break in the final set entirely through his own errors rather than Rafa's genius. The double faults! Oh, Roger....
I did want Roger to win this one - Rafa wanted to win it, but I think Roger needed to win it, for himself. And I adore Rafa, it's kind of hard not to, but Roger was my first love, long before Rafa came on the scene.
