Federer will always be more potent at the US and Wimbledon because of the speed of the courts, while Nadal is clearly slowing down from the speed and energy levels that Federer really struggled with. I think in a final Federer would have taken care of business.

Djokovic hurt his back during the match and apart from the usual niggles a top level athlete endures he'll no doubt be exhausted. I wonder whether he might take a few weeks off throughout the remainder of the season and just play the bigger tournaments. Last thing you want is to be wiped out physically and mentally after a huge year or it will all be wasted going into next year. From here I think Nadal and Federer will be unable to reclaim #1 and it will be Djokovic for 2-3 years before Murray starts to challenge for it.
