Congrats to Rafa for getting the career slam by winning the U.S. Open grand slam title, it was a long way coming but he did it yesterday! The match against Djokovic was very intense as expected but he played his best ever game on hard courts, never seen him play so well on his least favourite surface, it goes to show how much he wanted this title.

Comparisons with Roger Federer are gonna be prominent but it's way too early to say. He now belongs in the elite of the best players who played this sport.

I gotta admit it was difficult for me, especially duing the doubles and that awfully long match between Verdasco and Del Potro...but I'll probably be going again this year, tickets are really cheap
