    Brilliant to watch.

    1:15am finish, local time and it didn't reach the 5th set.

    Watched it last night.
    Two truly great athletes giving it all.
    At times they reminded me of gladiators with the roars and chest thumping.
    Them chants for Rafa as well, never heard anything like that at a tennis match.

    Oh and if Rafa shortened his service prep it would have finished in half the time :):)

    Certainly was gladiatorial. Think Rafa must have needed the service prep to catch his breath.
    Privileged to be able to watch two supreme sportsman at the very top of their game.

    Never go against Rafa on the clay of Roland Garros. He was 7/4 to win with Novax at 4/9. Amazing standard and for a match still on after 1 am local time it was packed. When slams like Australia run that late most people have gone home.
