His ways have always been that of the rich kid with manners.

I tend to agree. In general, was a little surprised he lost tonight because it was a Grand Slam final but when this match got some legs, it didnt come at all of a shocker. It was pretty evident who wanted this more tonight and who the better player was (tonight). This kid has manners and a huge likeability factor.

I haven't seen this many successful challenges of calls during a match. How often do you have a half dozen calls overturned like this in a grand slam final. It seemed to change the flow of both the 4th and 5th sets. If this was before the "eye" RF would have likely won.
