If Rafa hangs on here... You just never know!

He's dragged himself through sheer force of will before.

Novak is on fire and making him look poor, the better question is what would fed give to have novak's two handed backhand and Novak's return of serve.
Lol true. But Nadal has served 4 DFs in the first set. That's in the mind. A lot of errors have been so basic. Djokovic is playing better clearly but also has many gears he could go through if necessary. Possibly Nadal wants this too much?
No I don't know about a big match player like Nadal wanting it too much not his first rodeo. Novak is playing a blindingly good second set, he just feels the ball much better on the strings today and on current form
But Socal, this is pretty much his first Rodeo here. I think this is the 5th most important trophy in tennis. Certainly from an individual pov. It's so hard to win. And this is only the 2nd time he has made the final? He's in the form of his life (for this part of the year). I think this maybe his best chance of winning this trophy.

I don't think he is that nervous one guy just is hitting the ball better that is what this rivalry is about who brings it on the given day and Novak is bringing it. Also Novak is just a better indoor player he has won every big indoor tournament at least twice.

Having realised I actually have no idea as to where cool kids hang out on Mondays, I've returned to the beauty that is the couch to watch the last rights. Been a super performance from Djokovic second set, anyone but Nadal and it would have been a bagel.

Only real bright side to this as a Nadal fan is that Grand Slams aren't played indoors!! Sets up an interesting 2014, with these behemoths ending 2013 3-3.

Novak's break point conversion has been poor this year but I have to admit that tonight Rafa is saving them rather than Novak blowing them.

Andrew Castle saying over and over again Rafa isn't moving well as his knee is obviously hurting him, I wish Rafa could lose a match without it getting mentioned. No fault of his own here though

Well done Djokovic Very Happy 

Good luck for 2014. If he keeps focused he could have a chance for a calendar slam - but maybe Rafa will have something to say on that (but not many others have).

Two desperate slice forehands by djoko to stay in that point and Nadal pulls the third inside out forehand wide, state of the match 70 percent of second serve points won for djokovic to 50 percent for Nadal. 19 winners v. 21 errors for Novak. 6 aces to 0 aces for Nadal. Comprehensive victory.

if he wins the Davis Cup as well, what a response from losing Wimbledon and US Open finals, would have broken most men. He has been a hair away from almost winning everything! Credit to Nadal for doing the same

Listening to Castle is painful. His need to go into hyperbole is embarrassing.

'Absolutely, undeniably, the best player....er er this week'. You almost heard him stutter when he realised he's not currently number 1 in the world. Or had the best season out the two. He got stuck with where to go with it.

great season. Sets things up night nicely for 2013. Will in all likelihood be off 606 until about February unless by some miracle Ethiopia has some internet connection in the two weeks I'm there, or I'm not arrested again in a Mozambican/ Zimbabwean/Angolan prison. Happy holidays to you all, and stay safe.

Great celebrations from Djokovic - finishing on a great high. He won a slam but could have won four - so a disappointing season compared to the opportunities he made for himself.

Tough year for Novak, was so close at RG again this year but 1 slam, WTF finals win, 7 tournaments and two slam finals is nothing to shake a stick at. Davis Cup win and ending the season 24-0 should certainly be a great springboard for next year.
