Serb Sinks Spaniard
So Novak Djokovic - the Serbian champion - lived up to his potential and managed to overcome the outgoing world number 1 - Rafael Nadal.
Despite the odd wobble or two - Dojokovic ran out a well deserved winner.
Having beaten Nadal four times already this year - the Serb showed that he has the mental toughness as well as the talent - to compete at the highest level.
The match was not a five set classic - in the mould of Borg v McEnroe or Nadal v Federer - but Djokovic has found that extra edge which turns a great player - into a great champion.
Tomorrow Djokovic becomes the Number 1 ranked tennis player in the world - after a long run of good form in tournaments across the globe.
As he said himself earlier today: 'A couple of good days at the office'.
How true and how delightfully unassuming - and what wonderfully good manners all these champion tennis players have.
