Rafael takes the Australia Open..

Was watching the the Australia Open Final..
It's between Nadal and Federer..
Almost everyone thinks that the match will go into the 5th set...
And it did... But can Nadal handle it after a 5 hours semi final??
Yup... he manage to beat Federer...
To be honest, he has a lot of stamina..
He been getting points because of Federer's unforce errors....
The Spaniard won a sensational final 7-5 3-6 7-6 (7-3) 3-6 6-2 to add the Australian title to four wins at the French Open and one at Wimbledon.

"It's a dream to win here, a Grand Slam on a hard court," said the 22-year-old world number one.

"I worked very hard all my life to improve my tennis outside of clay."

Federer had been trying to match Pete Sampras's all-time record of 14 Grand Slam victories, and Nadal had sympathy for his beaten opponent.

"I'm sorry it was a tough moment for Roger," he said. "I know how tough it must be there in an important situation for him.

"But, you know, he's a great champion. He's the best. And he's, for sure, a very important person for our sport."


Best Friends?? You be the judge....
