Nadal vs Djokovic - Us Open 2013 Final Highlights HD

Of course, missed time with the knee injury, but he has not lost a hard-fought match since Indian Wells at the beginning of 2012, when he lost to Roger Federer 6-3 and 6-4 in the semifinals. It's probably half to two-thirds full at the moment. The year they played that five-hour, 53-minute, that clearly is something that Djokovic is good at. Clarence Zanon finds the corner and championship underway in New York. One-handed backhand because he was copying Pete Sampras. At seven, he decided he needed it. Not only does he get there, but what a shot once he did. A little challenge, we'll have a chase review. Eight straight points for Rafael Nadal. Five-two indeed. He breaks it low and he will serve for the opening set. After 36 minutes, Nadal with a brilliant start. Do physical doubts create mental doubts? 42 minutes, Nadal takes the opening set 6-2. I think Djokovic hesitated that split second. Could have been the best shot he hit. Look at that. In fact, just digging, not giving up on anything, but the point to Nadal. Saw him step inside the baseline. Two shots in a row and get it done. It's just the right shot, he's the wind to his advantage. He's got to stand up, please. He's fully joined. Novak letting the advantage evaporate. We're back on serve in the second set. 4-3. That's just too good. Job there off the return to do what needed to be done. Starting with taking it. That's more typical of what you expect to see from Novak. Djokovic working the point, then breaking it open. Plenty of time. Boy, is he working the crowd? 5-3. A set apiece. And right now, let's go to Scott Pelley of CBS News. That's a break. So that's three in a row after having not broken. That is the guy. First time I've seen Nadal slightly weary. Better as this match has gone on. That's in. Absolutely could have hit that serve any better than it did. Going his way. Been a big boost for him, so Djokovic. Like it was the perfect serve again. Nadal's not playing badly. Believe it or not, that's a pretty safe shot. About to stay in the point. Advantage from Djokovic for so much of this last hour. Incredible touch and composure by Djokovic there. He's okay, but that's very rare. First ace, hardest serve of the match. 125. Triple break point down. Nadal fights back to take the set, 6-4, and now has a two sets to one lead. And he knows he is one set away from the men's championship at the U.S. Open. What are we going to see next? The type of shot you're going to have to make if you want to beat this guy. Another game Nadal wins it. Up two sets to one. Well, that was a phenomenal shot. For Djokovic. He missed it. So quick to move forward and cut that ball off. Watching this on TV. With questions as to whether or not he'd ever really be able to come back and be the same player. He's better than he was. Might well be. Really simple as that. Absolutely killer.
