The history books will dryly record that Rafael Nadal won the Stella Artois Queens final against Novak Djojkovic 7-6 (8/6), 7-5. but no one who saw it was in any doubt that a new chapter in men’s tennis is unfolding. A repeat at Wimbledon would be a treat and Nadal knows that if either of them can beat The Federation who did not drop a service game in Halle, Germany that beating the Australian Open champion again will call for all his resources. And Wimbledon would be over five sets. Given the tempo and fire these two engendered on Sunday afternoon who kbnows how many more twists there could be in such molten pot.
Nadal is the first Spaniard to win on this surface since Andreas Gimeno in 1972. He is also the first player to win Queen’s after just winning Roland Garros, since the start of this tournament 30 years ago.
