"Yesterday was like a final, Rafa played a great match against Carlos," he said. "Today Rafa was not quite Rafa."
Youzhny said he realised during the second set that Nadal was in no shape to fight back.
The Russian number two won his fourth career title and narrowed his record against Nadal to 6-4 to the Spaniard.
"At the start of the tournament I began slowly, but after each match I've played better and better."
Youzhny, whose best at the Australian Open was a fourth round in 2003, said he was not looking too far ahead this time.
"I'll think about the first week and then if I win, about the quarter-final."
