Nadal seems to have his number overall but it is really apparent how Nadal's backhand just isn't a weapon, can barely remember a winner off of it...maybe one when Djokovic came into the net but not much more.

Nadal's just got his number at the moment. Hoping it goes to five. Great to watch. So glad it's Nadal v Djokovic rather than Murray.

How can you say he has his number? That was Djokovic's third set and he absolutely choked...

On the big points, right now, Rafa's got him. Playing some remarkable shots when he really needs them. That serve just then was ridiculous, for example.

I thought a similar thing happened in the second tbf where Djokovic was just holding on early, before Nadal fell in a bit of a hole.

I think it comes down to a lapse in Djokovic's concentration. The match has been completely even up until this set.

Nadal was never up 2-0 and 0-40. If he was, he would have steam-rolled Djokovic 6-0. He just seems mentally stronger than Djoker.

Maybe when he held to lead 5-4 in the third set. That was a very, very good game. You can see Djokovic hurting after that.

Providing Nadal finishes this off, that game will be the telling point obivously

Djokovic looks much heavier on his feet than he's seemed for a while.

He really does look to have given up...hoping it's just exhaustion rather than the old mental demons.

Great win, but damn what an annoying crowd. Forever walking around and yelling out during play...

Pretty good year for Rafa has 13 slams to his name which is incredible
I did not think Rafa could beat Djoko in a final unless it was clay
Hope he ebats Federer's record

Well Done Rafa, he really just has been too good this season.
Djokovic has some work to do.

Yoga. 24/7 from now until the next tournament. That should work.

He's not making as many shots as he was let's say 2011 and because of that he's getting too defensive. There were glimpses of what he can do but not consistent enough.
Overall an ok match with the 4th set disappointing
