and I watched it on the damn television...I couldn't imagine actually being there. Nadal is a fucking hero...his celebration in the darkness with cameras flashing everywhere will be burned in my memory.

I feel sorry for Fed now, only because he'll have to deal with infinite "do you think Nadal will overtake you soon?" questions, and he doesn't deserve it. Nadal deserves #1 soon (although he prolly won't get it until next year clay court season), but Fed doesn't deserve to get hammered by the media.
