Rafa Nadal Wins Second US Open Crown
Rafa Nadal beat Noval Djokovic in four sets to secure his second US Open title and the 13th grand slam of his career, putting him one behind Peter Sampras and within four of Roger Federer.
The scoreline - Nadal won 6-2 3-6 6-4 6-1 in three hours 21 minutes - does not reflect the tense match which included one rally of 54 shots, the longest of the tournament by 20 strokes.
"This is probably the most emotional one in my career," Nadal said. "I know I had to be almost perfect to win."
