It is too bad that the last few games were played in semi-darkness. They might still have been playing. That's one way to look at it.

But if Rafa hadn't choked away that 0-40 game at 4-3 in the third set (not to mention his 5-2 lead in the 4th set breaker) the match would never have approached darkness in the first place, never would have gone down as the best ever played, and Raja might very well have been humiliated by failing to win even a set against Rafa in consecutive Slam finals.

Both players had to deal with near-darkness, not just Raja.

Rafa deserved to win. Raja deserved to lose.

That's sports.
