In a way this is sad. Djokovich and Nadal yesterday played in a Masters final that constituted the oldest combined age for the combatants in top level pro tennis history. And the two of them played in the youngest final fifteen years ago (I forget the details). Add Federer into the mix and you have fifteen relatively boring, repetitive, predictable years in Men's tennis.
Which is not to denigrate their level of play, not at all. The stroke-making that these two guys were doing yesterday, and the returning of "un-returnable" shots was a thing to behold. They combine artistry with athleticism in a way that few sports and few individuals have ever done.
But damn, I wish some other people could rise to the top.
