I don't even like tennis but caught up in it - it was a remarkable final (far better than that sorry excuse at the Crucible a couple of months ago!). I was worried for Nadal because Federer seemed to be getting outplayed but got back on level terms - his serve saved his bacon a couple of times in the tie-breakers. If Wimbledon had tie-breakers in the final set he would have won it I bet. I lost count of how many match points Nadal had but what a sensational match! I fancy them to share the next few - there is no way Federer won't win at Wimbledon again since grass courts are his forte.Last edited by Templeton Peck; 7 July 2008, 12:38 AM.

I did pick Nadal to win this! Just think his tennis is a complete new standard right now over the rest players including Federer, technically and mentally and of course physically. But he should get tired at last for the US open now, maybe have to rely on Djokovic to shut off Federer again.

Nadal is a less technical player than Federer so it seems to me that he has to put a lot more of physical effort to be able to level with Federer. Could be that Nadal's career will be shorter and perhaps less brilliant than Federers because of the huge amount of energy (and risk of injuries) he has to put in it. But let' s wait and see. Anyway it is proven again than men tennis is of a higher quality than women tennis. Overweigthed players like Serena, Kutznetsova , Safina, Bartoli etc.. have their position in the top 10. Apparently you don't have to be a complete player to reach the top in women tennis. Some power in your arms is sometimes enough..
That' s why it is a pity that a player like Justine Henin stopped or that someone like Mauresmo is falling back in the rankings . They brought some technical play and more elegance in the game.Last edited by Wim; 9 July 2008, 06:40 AM.I saw that going differently in my mind

Rafa has two Slams, two MS events, a couple of other events compared to Fed's minor wins in Halle and Estoril so no doubt who has been the better player this season so far. Djokovic has been better than Fed as well, despite his early exit here.
Fantastic that Rafa won it, absolute class act both on and especially off the court, delighted for him.sigpic
