Rafael Nadal needed 5 sets to prove that he is the new king of tennis. In the Australian Open, Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-2.

All in all, the match took 4 hours, 23 minutes for Nadal to handle Federer, marking the 3rd straight time Rafael has beaten Federer in a Grand Slam final.

In proving that mens tennis is a sport for sissys, Federer cried at the end of the match. Rumor has it, he said, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAA, I didn't catch Pete Sampras."

Pete Sampras has 14 major titles, one more than Roger Federer.

Sampras was unable to be reached for comment, because he was getting busy with his wife, Bridgette Wilson.

Nadal is currently 13-6 against Federer, including a 5-2 record in Grand Slam Finals.
