Federer vs Soderling

So, Federer beat Soderling this morning, three straight sets. I watched one before I had to go to work and, despite its outward appearances, it was close. I mean tie breakers going all the way the the last point on two sets? It was intense. In the end, Federer prevailed. 23 Aces. What can you do? He played amazingly, both of them did. But in the end it circled round and all effort and preparation went out the window. It wasn't important. Federer is just a better player.
