That was very fun to watch. So evenly matched.

Okay, I only got to see the last set. There was some amazing shot making. I really liked some of the times that Nadal basically made Federer hit more than one "winner" to get a point. What I find sad is that they seldom approached net. I think it was in the last game where Nadal came in behind a serve, and they commented that it was the first time all day! While I like that he did something different, still it's very sad.

I was rooting for Fed, but I'd rather see him lose against the amazing tennis player Nadal is, and who represents so well the 'triumph and failure' quote of Kipling that is written on one of the walls at Wimbledon...

Yeah. Unbelieveable. 60 games played and only 4 breaks. Only 5 Double Faults. Only 5 more points won by Nadal than Federer. Ridiculous. Nadal remains the only person to ever beat Federer in any Slam final.

try to watch in repeats the tie break of the 4th set, probably the high point of the match.

Darn...I missed the fifth set - had things to do.
What a classic match. Those guys really battled each other.
Its great to see how much respect they have for each other and the classy way they handle winning and losing.
I know Roger is technically still number one, but in my eyes Nadal is the best player in the world.

I watched one match in the whole tournament and I'm glad it was the men's final, those two are way above the level of anyone else out there (even the brits...).

Reminded me of the Agassi-Sampras games when those guys were @ their best and usually they were bringing the best out of each other when they playing each other.
