This was one for the record books. Six months back, if somebody were to tell me that Federer and Nadal were to meet again in the final of a Grand Slam, I would tell Tham that they were crazy.
Not only I was wrong. Such final happened and it happened at the next tournament that both of them were fit. And the battle was epic.
We were attending a kenduri at Kota Damansara that evening and once the event was done, I was able to catch the final set on my next stop. It was a hard-fought match and in the end, Federer managed to keep his cool and clinched his 18th Grand Slam title. He looked on great shape and who knew, maybe the 20th may not be a far-fetched idea ...
