A dozen thoughts on Rafael Nadal's 7-5, 7-6, 5-7, 6-1 victory over Roger Federer in Sunday's French Open final:
1. More than any shot, I'll remember the look on Nadal's face during the Spanish anthem, the tears on his father's face, and the sight of Nadal still on court a half-hour after the match's conclusion, draped in a Spanish flag and celebrating with a small but passionate group of countrymen. In any language, Nadal struggles to express the nature of his dominance; he's much better at revealing self-doubt. In triumph, the visuals say it best.
2. It was a match rich in historical significance, and John McEnroe captured the essence beforehand when he called it "the most important match of Roger's career." With a victory, he would own at least two championships in each of the four majors, and it would be difficult to stake a claim for any other player as the greatest player of all time.
3. Instead, Nadal stays in that conversation with his 10th major title and more evidence than ever before. As Mary Carillo said during the NBC telecast, "Nadal's going for his 17th win against Federer (against just eight losses). The greatest player of all time can't beat the greatest player of his own time?"
