Oh

Ha!

Nadal

What a game, best one in years and possibly ever!!! I took my self standing up shouting in the end, eventhough I was watching it alone!

I wanted Federer to take the record, but Nadal deserved it just as much today, a game that should have no looser IMO.

These two will have loads more finals against eachother in grand slams, a great rivalery going on here!

Not really a tennis fan but cheered for Roger today. What a fantastic player, one of sports elite few.

[JohnDoe]

I'm just so sorry they couldn't give the trophy to both of them. Amazing athletes and top professionals.

Roger and Rafa

[Darkon]

I am amazed they could keep their concentration for that long and keep the game at the level they did. I could hardly concentrate for the 4½ hour in front of the tele!

I ****ing missed the final

[Shaggy]

That was totally amazing. Totally ****ing amazing. Loved every minute of it. It was like a heavyweight title fight. Two TITANS!

Wanted Roger to win but fair play Rafa.

Sigh, one simple typo and the internet community is entertained.

*******s, the lot of you :bird:

On the plus side, it means people actually read my posts

It's almost as embarrassing as when people type loose instead of lose...

[-V-]

Normally steer well clear of tennis but made a point of watching this final

And wow what a ****ing match. 5 hours long in the end i think, that was amazing. I was supporting Federer all the way, unbelievable match. Brilliant stuff. Surely that has to go down as the greatest of all time??? Words couldnt do it justice

[Marky]

Only saw the last set, holy **** what a match.

Two of the best in the business going hell for leather.

Wimbledon is not the same again ... I mean, the grass is so ****ing slow. There's no chance Nadal would have won that 10 years ago. It's a disgrace to Tennis that they're changing the surface to allow for lesser skilled players (eg Nadal) to be able to compete.

Great for spectacle yes, but FFS, there's no way a spanish clay court player would have won a match such as that.

Gutted Fed didn't win last night.

Had it been played at Forest Hills it would have been a straight sets victory for Federer

So you prefer the "more skillful" serve & volley game?

My point stands though. The fookin Wimbledon grass is cut in such a way that the ball just rebounds higher than it's due to. Nadal's balls are so difficult to contain as it's so high. Not disrespecting Nadal at all, he's a great player and fighter, but Federer is the better talent no doubt.
