It's an interesting contrast to 2017 AO, where you could tell how both players have drastically changed their game to be far less physical, but you got glimpses of their legendary past.

Very true that match was incredible and to have it be Nadal's first and only (so far) AO title it has a special place for me. To do it against Fed the day after his 5hr match with Verdasco just shows how super human Nadal was. I just feel the match before vs Verdasco was equally as special and high quality plus I wanted to include some variety and not just be matches against Fed and Djoker. That match tho would certainly make my top 10 Nadal matches of all time.
