One of the greatest matches in the history of tennis. Nadal outlasts Federer 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (8-10), 9-7 to become the first player to win both the French Open and Wimbledon since Bjorn Borg. Federer choked away the first two sets, Nadal choked away the next two, but it lead to an amazing finish.

I thought Federer would win coming into the match, but I was rooting for Nadal all the way. Congratulations to Rafa!

You say choked, I say well played by the opponent.
I enjoyed the 5th set also, and I thought it was a pretty classy finish by both.

But did anyone see that obnoxious reporter interview both players after they got inside? I hope he's fired. It was awkward and uncomfortable for me, and I wasn't even there.

Nadal is my favorite player ever. I'm glad he finally won. There had been too much talk saying he can only win on Clay. It wont be long before he takes the number one spot in my opinion.

Nadal deserved to win, he threw everything he could at Federer to beat him.

I read this as Ralph Nader wins Wimbledon. It was funny because Nader never wins.

That one hit in between his legs would have been amazing if it worked. Yet it failed.
