Thirteenth time. I must say that I thought that maybe this would be the year that Nadal's waning skills would be met by Djokovic who seems not to have lost much of his stride. 6 - 9 first set!!! WTF. In the end a three setter and it got a little closer in the last set, but never really a doubt. I won't bet against him for a 14th edition next year.

Indeed.
It will take an act of eminent domain to take the Musketeers Trophy away from him -- he owns that place.

Sorry: 6 - 0 of course. Totally unexpected.

You know Roland Garros was a WW1 pilot who "invented" a way to shoot his machine gun through his propeller by fitting it with deflecting plates? Shot his own plane down over German lines and gave Anthony Fokker the idea for a real interrupter-gear which for a time blew the Allied pilots out of the sky. I think there's a lesson in there somewhere.
Maybe not
