The longest ever grand slam final was played out over a pulsating five hours and 53 minutes in the Rod Laver Arena and was won by Djokovic, who extended his winning streak over Nadal to seven straight matches with a 5-7 6-4 6-2 6-7 (5) 7-5 victory. Nadal 3-4 Djokovic (4-6, 1-6, 6-1), Packed to capacity: Fans flocked to Centre Court to see the men's final, 16.28: Poor start from Nadal on serve as he slices a routine shot low into the net. 16.45: Djokovic served and volleyed to set up match point and after a powerful serve down the middle he forced Nadal out wide with the Spaniard only able to hit a backhand long. Djokovic wins the first one back with a simple volley at the net and Nadal sees the second slip away from him. Not many people have done that in this year's tournament. pic.twitter.com/UJQ0gOPkhL, — Rafa Nadal (@RafaelNadal) September 10, 2013. The crowd gasp as Nadal hits low into the net to make it 30-15 on the Novak serve, but Novak goes too long on the next point and the crowd cheer as the game levels.

Nadal 1-1 Djokovic, 14.17: Novak opens with a thumping serve but two powerful Nadal forehands down the line see him fall behind. I'm going to side with Nadal but I think the only shock will be if this match is won in straights sets. But in a match played over two days due to several rain delays, the king of clay prevailed 6-4 6-3 2-6 7-5 for a seventh win in Paris. He came forward again on the final point, and as Nadal’s backhand sailed long, he dropped to the grass and was soon holding and kissing the real thing. When you're playing the best player in the world - Nadal - I had to be on top of my game and I think I have played the best match on grass ever. As they are re-positioned a sip is taken from both without fail. Huge roar as he takes it to 40-15, if that’s the reaction we get at this point just imagine what he’ll be like if he goes on to win here. He holds to love but it was the winning point that caught my eye as he scampers towards the net, forcing Nadal to hit a backhand well wide. Afternoon one and all. On a side note, I noticed it when he played Del Potro...Nadal is doing a funny fancy footstep everytime he receives serve. Djokovic has perhaps never been better than in the second set Sunday. Nadal starts his service game with a double fault before hitting two unforced errors to give Djokovic three break points.
