"Novak's reaction, you know, when he was 3-Love down in the second set, and then Rafa, you know, had a hard time probably physically, and then Novak got back to the baseline and started hitting the ball as hard as he could.

But in terms of tennis, it was incredible," Mauresmo added. After more than four hours of play, Nadal sealed the win. . "Also tactically and mentally they know that it's going to be tough, that it's going to be tough physically, tactically between the two.
