Lion in Winter

William West ~ Agence France-Presse

What a match, what a victory, and what grace. And, as Jason Gay at The Wall Street Journal put it: Thank you, Roger Federer. Thank you, Rafael Nadal.

"There are no draws, but if there was going to be one, I would have been very happy to accept a draw tonight and share it with Rafa."

P.S. If you haven't read David Foster Wallace's sublime 2006 essay about Federer, and his epic matches with Nadal, treat yourself: Roger Federer as Religious Experience, courtesy of The New York Times.
