2008 Wimbledon

[Mango]

And Federer is looking human again. If I didn't say it before, well, I did....what a game!!

[transplant99]

In a rain delay right now, but it looks for all the world like Nadal will win again.

It's not the butt-kicking we witnessed at the French Open, but it just emphasizes that its clear Nadal may now be bestowed the best male player on the planet.

GO NADAL GO!!!!

Its about time someone deserving won Wimbledon. After the embarrassment of the Williams "sisters" on the womens side I can only hope that Nadal is able to win the mens side.

Sometimes moon, I think you say things just to get a reaction out of people lol

This match is making me nervous though... Rog isn't looking at the top of his game while Nadal looks awesome. All Federer needs is this third set, and go from there!

Honestly I don't see the appeal of Federer. I don't understand why people would cheer for him.

Plus he is a friend of Tiger. So just one more reason to hate the bum.

Same here, but I'm glad I'm staying up to finish this match. Unbelievable match so far.

[HelloHockeyFans]

Federer is committing a whole lot of unforced errors this match... that needs to stop.

I think this has officially become the greatest rivalry in the sport, and these guys are still young so it can only get better. I hope Nadal can pull this off...GO RAFA!!!

I was on my way to the lake for a swim when I remembered it was on. Sat down to watch a few minutes and am still here!

I've never really like Federer... sorta casually disliked him for no real reason, but I must say I'm cheering for him to complete the comeback. Amazing match. Too bad for the rain.

Oh my god. What a rally.

Congrats to Nadal for winning in 5 sets.......9-7 in the 5th.

What a great match!

That's his 5th grand slam title. 4 French Opens and 1 Wimbledon. I was going for Federer but good for Nadal for winning a major other then the French. I think he'll get a career slam pretty soon (within the next 2 years). Honestly it would be cool if Nadal won the US Open and Australian Open and then if Federer won the French so they both got the career slam. I like Federer better as I mentioned but Nadal is one hell of a player.

Uggggh

Well, congrats to Nadal. That was one of the best tennis matches I've ever seen. Used to watch it a lot back in the Agassi/Sampras days but have never witnessed anything like that.

Like the commentators said, Spain is on a roll this year!

[sadora]

España! España! España! España!

Congrats Rafa! What an awesome final.

That was my favorite rivalry of all time mainly because Agassi was my favorite player of all time. Federer's my 2nd favorite player of all time. With that said, I definately appreciate what Sampras did in his career and what Nadal is doing.
