Rafael Nadal winning a record 21st Grand Slam title at 35 years old by coming back from 2 sets down and 2-3, 0-40 in the third and physically wearing down a 25-year-old ranked No. 2 in the world after more than 5 hours is quite simply the most amazing feat in tennis history.

the next generation is hopeless. they've won 2 slams, one because Djokovic had a mental breakdown and one because Djokovic blasted a ball into a lineswoman's throat. other than that, nothing but blown 2-set leads and losses to injured 40-year-olds who can barely move.
