Rafa finally ended this strangest of topsy turvy years with the one trophy he felt best of achieving and probably most wanted to win ... the Davis Cup. For his part, he opened the tie with his first round singles against Tomas Berdych and it was a nervy Rafa for the first 10 games which were tied at 5-5 until Rafa's breakthrough came and he romped home the easy winner.
Back on his beloved clay and once over his nerves, Rafa played some of the lights out tennis we're used to ... and it was good to see, and good to see him so pumped and feeling it. David Ferrer won the next singles match from 2 sets down, and Feli and Nando completed the unassailable lead with victory in the doubles.
Here are some of the memories and the closure event of 2009 ...
