From the "It was good while it lasted" file...

It was short-lived, but the doubles pairing of Rafa Nadal and Noval Djokovic sure attracted a lot of attention.  It was a story because it marked the first time in 34 years that the #1 and #2 players in the world teamed up to play doubles.  (The last time was in 1976 when Jimmy Connors and Arthur Ashe played two events that summer)

It ended with a loss, to a Canadian duo that most hardcore tennis fans didn't even know.  I have to admit, i didn't know much about Vasek Pospisil and Milos Raonic.

The Canadians beat the "Doubles Dream Team" 5-7, 6-3, 10-8, ending any doubles coverage that will come out of Toronto.

Nadal and Djokovic enjoyed their time together and now will focus on singles heading into Flushing Meadows.
