Nadal beats Federer in classic Open final
By Julian Linden

MELBOURNE, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Rafa Nadal captured the Australian Open title with an enthralling 7-5 3-6 7-6 3-6 6-2 win over Roger Federer on Sunday, denying the Swiss a chance to win a record-equalling 14th grand slam title.

The world number one became the first Spaniard to win the Open and chalked up his fifth straight win over Federer, including last year’s French Open and Wimbledon finals.

The victory took his grand slam tally to six and left him needing only to win the U.S. Open to complete the full set.

Sunday’s final at Melbourne Park lived up to all expectations as the two best players of their generation slugged it out for almost 4-1/2 hours in a classic match packed with magical shotmaking and intense drama.

The momentum swung back and forth throughout before Nadal struck the killer blow when he broke in the fourth game of the deciding set when Federer slapped a backhand into the net then again in the eighth game to seal a famous victory.

Nadal, showing no signs of fatigue despite his five hour, 14 minute victory over compatriot Fernando Verdasco in the semi-finals, started the match full of energy and was still running as strongly as ever at the end.
