What a incredible match!!! Great tennis!

Nadal just broke Federer in the 5th set. So one more game for Nadal to win and he is the Wimbledon champion :)

Doesn't really matter who wins, but I like Nadal a little bit better.

Great for Nadal to win but he still has a long way to go before he reached the hights of Federer. Roger won Wimbledon 5 years in a row after all. Speaking of which I bet Bjorn Borg is happy on the side that he didnt break his record lol

If there is one thing I dont like about Rafa Nadal its how long he takes to serve. I think this Djocovic impression is quite good in that respect lol

wow ... i died already .. such a huge stress i suffered ...
yesss ... nadal beat the roger's reign in wimbledon history :up: :up: :up:
it was one of the greatest grand slam finals of all time. also the win ended federer's 6-year, 65-match winning streak on grass!!!
and this victory made the the Nadal only the third man to win the french open and wimbledon in the same season!!
go rafa gooooo .....
just i burst to cry when he was climbing the scoreboard to hug his family ... :weep:

Historic match, first Spaniard to win Wimbledon since Manolo Santana in 1966.. Spain are slowly making their voices heard in sports... What will they do in the Olympics, for now Bjorn Borg will breath until Nadal breaks his Roland Garros record... ;)

Not only that but he is also the first player since Bjorn Borg in 1980 to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year.

I also saw this match, amazing stuff!
There shouldn't be any loser in this match imo, two giants going at each other.
But surely, after this loss, Federer must be hurt, Nadal has beaten him on "his" surface now.
I don't think Federer ever can come back and dominate tennis they way he has now for the past 4 years.
Rafa also going to be nr 1 in the rankings from 18.8.
Regarding OG, i don't think Rafa could win it, it looks to a low bouncing court, and this doesn't suit Rafa imo.
