Djokovic stuns Nadal, faces Federer in final

That was the title of the article I first saw when I searched for tennis news on google. I watched half of the match last night between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in the semifinals of the Roger's Cup in Montreal, which proved to be quite short, and then had to leave, but I had a good feeling after the first set that Rafa could pull it out. I was wrong, obviousely.
Now as many of you may know, I am a big tennis fan, and huge Rafa Nadal fan, and I am in a state of shock at the outcome of the match, which was 7-5, 6-2. Perhaps my only solace is the fact that Federer is going to destroy Djokovic in the finals. Now, there are several contributing factors to Nadals loss at the Roger's, a title he won last year in Toronto. A couple of these are stated in this quote-
"I have to work on my movement a bit. I had a week off with a knee problem, and I've only been practicing lightly before coming over. I've had a good week, and the fans are maybe more disappointed than I am."
Yes Rafa, I am disappointed, but i your defense, you were injured, it wasn't your best surface, Djokovic is decent, amd it wasn't a Grand Slam, so better luck next time.
