I wondered if it was because Nadal was so vocal during his play--but it was also obvious he was just wearing what seemed to be a much more involved costume. Big head kerchief, sweaty and stringy long hair, huge wristbands, bands around both knees, shorts that were too clumsy and long...Federer looked like he was acting effortlessly in his simple polo and tennis shorts, while Nadal seemed to be struggling all the way to his (slight!) victory. Maybe Nadal's more aggressive "look" was his way of overcompensating for feeling slightly inferior to Federer and his long established abilities. In any case, it worked for him...this time.

Maybe Nadal’s more aggressive “look” was his way of overcompensating for feeling slightly inferior to Federer and his long established abilities. In any case, it worked for him…this time.

He's very proud of those arms! (And get a hair cut!) Give me Sampras or Federer any day. But who knows - Agassi improved his sense of style greatly as he aged. Maybe Nadal will follow suit.
