US Open 2013: Nadal Wins!

Rafa Nadal has won his 13th Grand Slam singles title. He is now one behind Pete Sampras and four behind Roger Federer.



The first set couldn't have been more decisive in Nadal's favor. He was almost superhuman in his ability to hammer Djokovic and keep the pressure on. There was a primal quality to that first set. Nadal was a force of nature, and there was nothing Djokovic could do to stop it.
