Rafael Nadal had not looked very good the night before; his explanation seemed to boil down to the fact that he was struggling with the uncomfortable conditions. But it was thoroughly uncomfortable on Sunday as well -- high heat and very high humidity.
If you look only at the match stats, the wonder is that this was so close. Pablo Andujar should have won this walking away. How often do you get fourteen break point chances against Rafael Nadal on clay?
A depressing result so soon after Karlovic made the Memphis final. Any additional points will count for Kevin Anderson.
This was not exactly a thrilling final (other than the odd moment when Marin Cilic managed to get a point replayed because the ball had been damaged). Tomas Berdych was never broken -- indeed, never faced a break point after his first service game -- and he converted three of four break points against Cilic. He won almost 60% of the points.
After all the upsets we'd had to this point, this seems almost unnatural. A seed winning? What is the world coming to? What Tomas Berdych is coming to, or at least coming close to, is the #6 ranking. Win the title and it's his; indeed, he will be just bare points behind Juan Martin del Potro in the contest for #5. Ernests Gulbis will be #23 or #24.

From a British perspective, the captaincy of Jim Courier in the United States’ humiliating home Davis Cup defeat at the hands of Andy Murray and the rest of the British team, left a lot to be desired.
Despite a brave effort from Sam Querrey, No. 6 Andy Murray clinched Great Britain’s first Davis Cup Quarterfinals appearance since 1986 on Sunday, beating the 49th-ranked American, 7-6(5), 6-7(3), 6-1, 6-3, on red clay at Petco Park in San Diego.
Was it Kei Nishikori, or was it the Tennis Gods? Consider this: Canada's three top singles players all went down in the Davis Cup tie with Japan.
