New York was the sixth sore for Nadal

Rafa Nadal, every time he crossed the gateway to the National Tennis Center these days, 


could see this phrase inscribed: "I woke up in the city that never sleeps still king of the hill, number one. If I can do here, I can do it anywhere. " If I can do here the verses of New York, New York sung by Frank Sinatra were echoing in his head. Believe. Fight every point.
If I can do here, after five defeats, five open sores, in Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome and Wimbledon Novak Djokovic against the ogre to do what I could come back anytime. But he could not. After 4 hours and 10min of tremendous struggle of 24 years Serbian Cup champion stood: 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-1. His first title in NY and fourth largest of his career.

Thus, upwind, allowed two breaks Rafa, seeking words of encouragement from his uncle in the corner. In the first set, the number two ended with a 58% first, 40% of points earned in the first and 45% of seconds. Impossible. And when he served better, he found a great athlete.
Brutal."When you sing out, when he sings?" Rafa told the judge tense 2-5. It was the party. But was hooked. And again broke for 2-0, but in the third game, which lasted 18 minutes, the Serbian managed to break him after six attempts. The tension was brutal. Was key. The sixth sore and bleeding, but the Spanish wanted to close it. In the third set Nadal fought like a dog and won the tie-break in tennis shoes and fury. Nole needed assistance to heal your lower back. ¿Strategy to stop the hurricane?. The fact is that it stopped. Djokovic remains the challenge of Nadal.
He stopped the gameDjokovic, who complained of lower back, called the trainer at the end of the third set and so broke the rhythm of Nadal. Then the physio also had to enter the room.
Nole will end up as number oneWith his victory, Djokovic will now in the ATP rankings with 14,720 points and 10,620 Nadal. A difference of 4,100 Serbian ensuring finish the year as world number one, a position he reached after Wimbledon. Between now and the end of the year, Nadal and Djokovic defends 1590, 1585. Next year, the new champion in New York will have to defend 6,000 points between Australia, Wimbledon and U.S. Open. It has also won five Masters computing to 1,000 points each.

Nadal enlarges the legend

 





And we will remember them all over the years, crushed and battered in the arena of La Cartuja ocher He, Rafael Nadal Parera, as the champion of the people, these 24,852 people, including the popular clamor of 'Rafa, Rafa' . And they, all his companions. The human wall Xábia, David Ferrer. Or the bullfighter doubles partner, Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco, who tore an incredible Davis Mar del Plata and sometimes lost. There are always going to win at all, what the hell"Fin de fiesta" was the first thing David Ferrer Ern said Rafael Nadal Parera when put side by side in the Press Room. The best team in the tennis world in the XXI century, the five-of Spain, and sets sail to the legend. In 2012, a miracle or the Olympics not avoid it, Nadal, Ferrer and Feliciano Lopez Spanish will be placed uniform Davis. Maybe back. Or not. But therein lies the magic aura of a Dynasty unrepeatable since 2000, their hands (and Ferrero, Moya, Costa, Corretja) have raised five bowl. And only they can choose to disappear into the shadows, like General MacArthur at West Point. "The world will not forget what you did here," declared the manager Eddie Futch to Joe Frazier in Manila when he had to order, moved, neglect to Ali."The world will not forget what you did here," Nadal had said Futch, had seen the boy frowning Manacor fighting for his life and the fifth Davis of Spain under the titanic arsenal plane Del Potro, who dealt Nadal 7-0 for a partial buried under the rubble of a 6-1, received the worst score in a set of Rafa Davis. Such intensity was draining energy from Del Potro, Ferrer punished late on Friday.

And that game, tennis, romance can be silent music McEnroe on Federer or degenerates into bayonet assault if you have to beat Nadal. The reverse of Delpo sounds like an explosion. Nadal sweat smelled napalm. Nadal match. He hopes his time with the eyes. "I stuck with my heart by the winners but I always came back," Del Potro said later, his eyes watering. Delpo had needed 61 minutes to close the first set, too for those who already brought the sides open by blows from Ferrer.With the knife between his teeth, Nadal left the red sand pit and grabbed Del Potro, body to body, from 6-1 and 1-0 to Argentina, Rafa used a 10-1 for signed partial sets second and third (6-4, 6-1) and go 2-0 up in the room. Del Potro knew he had to fight for his life, he emptied the reserves of shrapnel and knock down the furious warrior Manacor: 5-3, remove and 30-15.Sudden death.In the heavy anguish was not La Cartuja island was jungle of emotions. Psychologically tortured, Del Potro and Nadal hesitate to bite again: 6-5. There, Rafa (which served as second serves at 115 km / h) gave his eighth break of the match. Then came the sudden death, which capitulated from Del Potro backhand evil the first point, the shadows and ashes, and when Nadal and smelled blood. Rafa misery settled with Del Potro 7-0 in sudden death and threw himself on the sand at La Cartuja. Blood and Sand. As in Mar del Plata, as here against Ferrer, Del Potro returned to the locker room crying in the final of Davis. And as Eddie Futch told Frazier, "The world will never forget everything you've done here."

Elected to the Bernabeu

Four years ago to go to the Bernabeu Barca is no longer going to the dentist. This period

 coincides with the takeover of Guardiola. Five times he has visited the White feud with Barca Pep and has always emerged unscathed. Two wins and a draw in the league (2-6, 0-2 and 1-1), another victory in the Champions League (0-2) and a tie in the Supercopa of Spain (2-2). In all, Guardiola innovated the traditional system into something before going to Chamartín. Messi liar '9 '; Alves end, a press conference incendiary, Thiago and Alexis holders or recurrence by surprise Puyol are some of the tricks up his sleeve that has successfully launched Barça coach in his visits to Madrid. Everything indicates that this is not going to be different. It is still early to say anything, but technically the head of the party has already been played. He has a plan and has begun to show their cards.

Insurance. After the match against Levante, Guardiola gave two days of warrant 13 players are those with insurance to be in the Bernabeu. This is Valdés, Alves, Puyol, Mascherano, Abidal, Keita, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Messi, Alexis and Villa. These will be listed ahead of Madrid fixed. There must add as insurance called Maxwell, Fontàs Basin, Thiago Pedro and Pique. But the real story lies in knowing which of these have a fixed place in the starting lineup.

Those who have every chance of ownership to this day are: Valdés, Alves, Mascherano, Abidal, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas and Messi. Nine out of eleven. The remaining two will make much tactical picture.

The likely. Given that the club needs two sides run much faster than back, Alves and Abidal seem to have the site secured. Mascherano, in the words of Guardiola, is "the best center we have now." So, count on him to Madrid. In the event that Barca play with four back, a square is divided between Puyol and Piqué. The midfield is untouchable unless there is surprise and grief to complete the following eleven is ahead. Between Villa, reserved to the Levant and the bat-like what happened in the final of Champions, Alexis, who is in a great time, and Cuenca, which is the great revelation. Among these three are played elsewhere on the front.

The surprises. Here are players who initially are more destined to come off the bench to become owners. If they did, would be a surprise. Adriano is a letter that depends on your recovery, but his versatility gives numbers to come out and play without knowing the scheme be adopted by the team, since both can be played as lateral end. Peter, in recovery from injury is more to a lever and the magic of Thiago is another letter that may be valued more as a refresher for changing scenery from the beginning.

Without options. Unless you give a cause of force majeure, or Maxwell, or Pinto or site will Fontàs Saturday's game. To get a player of type B in the list or Montoya Jonathan dos Santos, the situation would not change.

The defense. Throughout the season, Guardiola has alternated with the defense of three of four.But note that puts a lot more than three. Team looks to make it. What is clear is that the club never play a whole match the same system. Hence the presence of Adriano could be critical.The Brazilian system allows changing times as you want only to move its position in the field. No one has the variety of team tactics Guardiola

Jesse Mourinho include in the list against Ajax

Jesse Rodriguez (18 years) will be the big news in the notice that tomorrow will Mourinho for the

The leader challenges Molinón

The debate focuses on the game limits the toughness and aggressiveness. The first to raise the issue was Cristiano Ronaldo, last Monday, the feast of AS. Clearly lame footballer Cherry criticized the attitude of athletic players in the derby (Perea, in particular), to which the president responded to other criticisms, or so we thought we understood after consulting the dictionary of slang gypsy and Portuguese. Then came the comments Florentino Casillas (in Gijón "I will give") and Di Stefano in the same conversation ("will be screwed, and are planning the mess"). No wonder that on this argument is developed much of yesterday's press conference Mourinho and Preciado.

Put in those terms, it is hard to imagine a party other than bronco.Press the Madrid, as often, and then press the Sporting, as advertised, and with so much friction in the field and in the stands so hot a spark sufficient (sham, penalty or leñazo true) to start a fire.

The most relevant in the absence of local Lora is on the side, covered by Damian Suarez, a Uruguayan who supports double provenance: Defensor Sporting. The rest of the team, on paper, it looks dynamic and competitive, although the last loss against Levante never revived doubts are cleared. As usual every fifteen days, the most feared player of Sporting, discarded Quini will The Molinón. Offended, this time.

Real Madrid is accompanied by other concerns. The main one is to know how the team responds to the absence of Xabi Alonso, essential player card that meets cycle. Sahin is expected to take his place in midfield and the next question is how to answer your legs at the battle goldfinch arise. Khedira will be your faithful squire, as long as Mourinho did not opt ​​for trivote and accompanied by two bodyguards.

Vanguardia. What remains of the eleven have fewer doubts. Lass will continue to side with the lower Arbeloa (muscle contraction) and Christian, despite pereazo, will be general in the forefront.Higuain, predictably, as the player will be more advance and await Kaka shift from the bench.

The location of the meeting, seven days a Classic, gives an extra incentive to mourn. From the point of view of Madrid is not only victorious, but full finish. For the Sporting is a quote that delivers as much glory as moral, gasoline for the slopes ahead.

The latest hot it will Iturralde Gonzalez, unique character who hears My Way before and after games. He will be responsible for distinguishing the severity of the violence. Obviously, you do your way.
