nadal VS phau | us open 2008

recently i saw the US open match between the world No #1 rafael nadal vs bjorn phau who is ranked 136 i thought its an easy match and rafael could win the game pretty soon but it was the other way around. bjorn phau played extreamly well and gave a tough match to rafael. the match was played for 3 hours there were a lot of moment where rafael got upset. well finally rafael won the match with 7-6, 6-3, 7-6. when asked rafel about the match he said "I didn't play with normal intensity, play a little bit less intensity than last few months for sure. Important thing, final, is win." he should be little tired with his continous schedule and title's. well i was really impressed with phau's play, he was really quick well when looked back he had beaten one of the greatest players He defeated Andre Agassi 7–5, 7–5 at the 2006 Dubai Tennis Championships. and agassi commented on phau that he is one of the fastest tennis players i have ever played.
