Could only watch the Nadal-Murray match due to time zone differences here, and it was high quality stuff from both players.
Nadal fans would be happy with his mental resolve and fortitude on clay, and Murray fans would be happy with what they saw for the grass and hard court seasons to follow.

As totally expected, the Finals is Djokovic vs. Nadal.

Everyone seems to favor Nadal, but I think Djokovic might take this one.

Nadal has finally found form, and is still only slight favourite in my book.
Djokovic is still feeling his way back from injury and regaining match fitness/hardness, so is less expected to win this one.
Regardless, we most likely will have a prelude to the RG Final this year.

Djokovic has won Rome:

Rafael Nadal vs. Novak Djokovic: How The Rome Final Was Won - Tennis - ATP World Tour


Although I am a Djoker fan, there should be no premature or over the top celebrations yet.
Nadal is still the "King of Clay" and easily the greatest player of all time on that surface, until beaten in Paris.
Sampras and Federer were seeminly invincible on grass, but Nadal took their extremeness to another level and has been Godlike on clay.
Rafal has rubbed every challenger and great players face in the red dirt of RG for almost a decade now, so there can be no guarantees that he can be beaten there until it is actually done.

Congrats to Novack and good of him to use his fame to highlight the plight of the flood victims in the Balkans.

Good to see Murray back playing well, and on clay to!

If you have to bet money on who's going to win French Open this year, who will it be Djokovic or Nadal?
