In The End, Nadal Keeps Running And Running To Victory
It is difficult to argue with that last sentence. To even reach the final, the top-seeded Nadal had to win the longest match in Australian Open history in the semifinals: a five-set, 5-hour-14-minute classic against his compatriot Fernando Verdasco. He then had one day less than the second-seeded Federer to prepare for the 19th installment of their rivalry: undergoing intense physical therapy in an attempt to recover the freshness of mind and body required to repulse a man on a mission.
“I knew it was not going to affect him a lot,” Federer said of Nadal’s abbreviated preparation. “It did not have any role to play in it, so I was ready for that.” Nadal was not nearly so certain that he would be in fine shape. After getting to sleep at 5 am on Saturday morning following his Friday night marathon with Verdasco, he woke at 1 pm. He practiced lightly that afternoon and again on Sunday afternoon. “I was having a bit of trouble practicing,” he said. “I felt a little nauseated when I practiced yesterday and today. I was pretty concerned, not being sure whether I could be at my best. It’s tough feeling that way when it’s your first final in Australia and you’re not sure you’re going to be 100 percent. But in the end everything worked out well for me.”
It was hardly a straightforward process, however. Nadal would need 4 hours 23 minutes to finish off Federer. He would need to rally from 2-4 down in the first set and save all six break points he faced in the third set.
He would also need Federer to serve much less convincingly than he had in his straight-set semifinal romp over Andy Roddick.
The Swiss put only 52 percent of his first serves in play on Sunday, which was by far his lowest percentage of the tournament. Perhaps the most remarkable statistic from this remarkable match was that Federer managed to win the second set with a first-serve percentage of 37 percent.
“Perhaps I should not have been out there in the fifth set at all,” said Federer, still red-eyed an hour after the match. “I should have won the first set and the third. The rest of the story, we all know it.”
Nadal, the swashbuckling 22-year-old from the Spanish island of Majorca, was considered a claycourt specialist early in his career. But he is now well on his way to becoming one of the game’s great multi-surface champions. He has won the last four French Opens on clay, last year’s Wimbledon title on grass and has now won his first Grand Slam title on a hardcourt: giving Spain the only major tennis trophy it lacked.
“It is a dream to win here,” Nadal said. “I’ve worked very hard the last, well, all my life to improve the tennis outside of clay.”
Nadal also has helped win tennis’s premier team competition, the Davis Cup, for Spain as well as last year’s Olympic gold medal in singles on a hardcourt in Beijing. The only major title he now lacks is the United States Open, where he was beaten in the semifinals last year.
But Nadal, for all the fire and brimstone in his flashy left-handed game, is also a self-effacing champion: one who has continued to affirm that Federer is the greatest player of all time even as he continues to build on his career edge against him.
Once he took the microphone himself on Sunday, with the trophy in his hands, his first words were for his opponent. “Well, first of all, sorry for today,” he said, turning to Federer. “I really know how you feel right now. It’s really tough. Remember you are a great champion. You are the best in history.” NYT News Service

Serena wins fourth Australian Open title
Serena Williams thrashed Russia's Dinara Safina 6-0, 6-3 to win her fourth Australian Open title Saturday, bringing up her 10th Grand Slam and reclaiming the world number one ranking on the way.
In one of the most lop-sided deciders ever, the American utterly dominated third seed Safina, allowing her opponent to win only eight points in the first set and claiming the championship in less than an hour.
"I'm so excited ... I clearly love playing here and I get great support here. I don't get that every place I go," Williams said, after winning the first women's night final played in the Rod Laver Arena.
Williams, the second seed, emphatically backed up her pre-tournament comments that she was the best women's tennis player in the world and will now officially reclaim the top ranking from Serbia's Jelena Jankovic.
She also became the highest ever prizemoney winner in women's sport during the tournament and took the women's doubles title with her sister Venus on Friday.
Williams said she was thrilled to join the likes of Steffi Graf and Martina Navratilova in the elite group of women with 10 or more Grand Slams.
"I idolised Steffi Graf," she said. "When I played her I was like 'Oh My God, it's Steffi Graf' and Martina Navratilova was someone who was my role model, so when I think of these greats I don't really think of my name, I think of them.
"I think people are starting to think of me (in those terms), which is uber-cool, I can't even get my mind around that."
Safina, whose brother Marat Safin won the men's title in 2005, had aimed to enter the history books as the part of the only brother-sister combination to hold Grand Slam titles.
Instead, she narrowly avoided entering the record books as being on the wrong end of the worst drubbing in a final in the tournament's history, saying Williams left her feeling like "a ball boy on the court today."
"She played exactly the way she had to play and she was much more aggressive and she was just taking time away from me," the 22-year-old said. "She didn't let me come into the match."
Only Graf in 1994 and Margaret Smith in 1962 have posted more comprehensive victories in the decider, both winning 6-0, 6-2.
Safina put the loss down to stage fright, saying Williams' experience proved a crucial factor, but vowed to dust herself off and come back better than ever.
The Russian also lost her only previous Grand Slam final at the French Open last year, but Williams was full of praise after the match.
"Dinara has a good future," she said. "She's hitting the ball so hard I just had to go for broke.
"Thanks to her for putting on a great show for women's tennis," added the American, who continued a sequence of winning the Australian Open title in odd-numbered years, with her previous wins coming in 2003, 2005 and 2007.
Safina may take some comfort from compatriot Maria Sharapova, who also managed to take just three games off Williams when she was humbled 6-1, 6-2 in the 2007 final but came back to take the title the following year.
Williams showed no signs of the service problems that dogged her early in the tournament and aggressively took the match to Safina from the outset.
It was Safina's serve, with its trademark high ball toss, which fell apart as she coughed up three double faults in her opening service game to gift Williams an easy break.
She continued to break Safina at will, while the Russian could only manage two points off Williams' serve in a first set that was over in 22 minutes.
"I saw that it was so fast and I thought, 'OK, I've got to stay focused,'" Williams said.
"I thought 'Safina, she's a warrior, she never gives up, she's been down a couple of match points already in the tournament, so I've got to stay focused."
Safina desperately tried to regroup and broke Williams in the first game of the second set but could not stop the rout and conceded the match when she hit a drop shot wide after 59 minutes.
Malaysia scraps AirAsia's new airport plan: govt official
Malaysia's government has rejected an ambitious proposal by budget carrier AirAsia to build a 460-million-dollar airport outside the capital, a top government official said.
AirAsia founder Tony Fernandes said earlier this year that AirAsia wanted to abandon its rudimentary and overcrowded terminal next to the main international airport, to improve its standards and lower its operational costs.
But newspaper reports said the plan was turned down on Friday after Fernandes made a presentation to Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak and senior officials from the Finance Ministry and airports authority.
AirAsia intended to build and operate the airport in Negeri Sembilan state -- outside the capital Kuala Lumpur -- together with Malaysian conglomerate Sime Darby.
But Najib, who is also finance minister, told Fernandes that the government had to reject the proposal, a government official familiar with the negotiations told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"The government thinks the AirAsia airport plan is not a viable project. It fears the cost of the construction may escalate and it may be forced to inject funds. The government does not want the project to be a burden," he said.
However, he said that AirAsia could still appeal to the government to reconsider its decision. AirAsia officials could not be reached for comment.
The New Straits Times Saturday cited an unnamed source as saying that Malaysia Airports Holdings would instead build a new budget terminal to replace the existing facility near Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
"Malaysia Airports will build a new low-cost carrier terminal near the Kuala Lumpur International Airport but they (Malaysia Airports) will have to work closely with AirAsia," the newspaper quoted the source as saying.
"The company's (AirAsia) input in the building of the new terminal will have to be taken into consideration."
However, Transport Minister Ong Tee Keat was quoted by the Star newspaper Saturday as saying that a decision on AirAsia's new airport would be made only in two or three weeks' time.
"Actually the government has not made a decision on the matter," he said.
Sime Darby had previously said it had won government approval to begin the airport project, which was to be the centrepiece of a new multi-purpose development at Labu in Negri Sembilan state.
"The new airport, which will be known as KLIA East, will provide more capacity for aircraft and passengers and enable us to bring down fares," Fernandes told a press conference early January.
"We believe in lowering our business costs. It is the key to our success," he said, adding that costs could be cut by 30 percent.
Fernandes rejected criticism that KLIA has more than enough capacity to handle AirAsia's growth plans and that the sprawling city has no need for what would be its fourth airport.
He said the new airport would be exclusively for AirAsia, and designed to handle up to 30 million passengers annually. Construction could begin within six months with a completion date of March 2011.
An expansion of the current low-cost terminal is due to be completed by March, but by then AirAsia will already have exceeded its enlarged capacity with some 15.7 million passengers a year.
"Our projection showed that within one year the airport will be bursting at its seams again," Fernandes said.
Even with a completely new LCCT terminal, KLIA's runways cannot accommodate AirAsia's expanding fleet that will include a larger number of wide-bodied jets, he said
