That was quite a tennis match!

I know very little about the technical side of tennis, but who cares? It's getting a ball over a net and between some white lines, and that's enough to follow the story of technical skill, tactical nous, and gritted teeth. Congratulations to Nadal, who is, extraordinary as it feels, only a year older than Djokovic.* The end of an era fast approaches, but even for the decidely casual fan, what an era it has been.

*All top sports people except clay pigeon shooters are now younger than I am, it feels strange.
