Wimbledon Finals: Federer vs. Nadal

So for the third straight year, the Wimbledon Title comes down to a battle between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

Federer earned his 40th straight win all the All-England Club yesterday, beating Marat Safin 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-4. Meanwhile, Nadal knocked off Rainer Schuettler 6-1, 7-6 (3), 6-4 to get up the sixth match-up between these two in a Grand Slam Finals. So who do you think will win?

Re: Wimbledon Finals: Federer vs. Nadal

Nadal wins, 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8 ), 9-7.

According to Yahoo! Sports, "He’s the first Spanish man to win at the All England Club since Manolo Santana in 1966 and, more significantly, the first player to sweep the French Open and Wimbledon men’s titles in the same year since Bjorn Borg in 1980... 'This is the greatest match I’ve ever seen,' said John McEnroe, a three-time Wimbledon champion and a television commentator at the tournament." That's high praise, coming from McEnroe.

Perhaps the greatest tennis match ever played. Im happy Nadal could get the upset, I thought he would win.

Re: Wimbledon Finals: Federer vs. Nadal

Welcome back, wvufan! Long time no see! No doubt it was an amazing match. Are you a longtime tennis fan? I'm curious as to how someone who's been following the sport closely would rank it among the all-time great matches.

Hah, yeah. If you consider fourteen years a long time?!
Im only 14, lol.

Ive been playing tennis since I was six, and am a great fan of the sport.
Um, I watch a lot of the old Grand Slam finals, and this has to be one of the best. (:

So how did you get interested in it? There doesnt seem to be a lot of interest in it in this country.
