   Points won by each set: | 30-20, 28-35, 36-32, 27-15 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   14 % Nadal – 18 of 121
   16 % Djokovic – 17 of 102

   Djokovic [1] won the 2nd set breaking Nadal at 4:3 despite six game points for the Spaniard (earlier the Serb had broken to lead 4:2 after a 55-stroke rally), and had a break point leading 2:0 in the 3rd set. The floodlights were activated when that set kicked off, and the Serb adapted quicker to new conditions. At 4-all he squandered a triple mini-set point (Nadal’s only ace on the third chance) and the Spaniard [2] ran away winning 8 of the last 9 games, and the match in ~three and a half hours (so long with this scoreline, yet shorter match than their four-setters in the US Open finals of the years 2010-11) # Prior to the 2nd set of the semifinal vs Gasquet, Nadal didn’t lose his serve (88 holds in a row going back to Cincinnati)! Actually his most impressive tournament played on hardcourts and a form of his life on this surface that year (before the US Open he captured Montreal & Cincinnati as well as Indian Wells a few months earlier). He never faced Federer at the US Open, that year it was very close, they could have met in the quarterfinals, but Federer lost the only time in his career to Robredo in the fourth round (12 meetings).

   Nadal’s route to his 13th major title (2nd US Open):
   1 Ryan Harrison 6-4, 6-2, 6-2
   2 Rogerio Dutra Silva 6-2, 6-1, 6-0
   3 Ivan Dodig 6-4, 6-3, 6-3
   4 Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-3, 6-1
   Q Tommy Robredo 6-0, 6-2, 6-2
   S Richard Gasquet 6-4, 7-6(1), 6-2
   W Novak Djokovic 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1

   Serve & volley: Nadal 0, Djokovic 1/3
