What an amazing final at Wimbledon! We're in a 5th set rain delay tied 2-2.

What a great champion Federer is - amazing heart to battle back from two sets down.

I really hope they're able to finish this today!
 
I was hoping someone else was watching this epic match! I couldn't watch the screen during the 4th set tie-break, it was that intense.

I hope they're able to finish today too. At least next year they'll have a retractable roof so this won't happen again. I have to get my cheering game-face on for King Roger!! 6 in a row!!
 
As someone who is not a tennis fan, but is a large sports fan in general, let me say.. Wow. I know the general rules and scoring of tennis, I just have never really enjoyed watching it (This coming from someone who is willing to watch Thursday golf)
That was an exciting what... 7 hours? (4:30, 3 hours rain delay?)
You rarely see someone lose and be seem honestly gracious, Federer defiantly does however.

When is the next time these two can play in a major tournament? I'd tune in.
 
:( :( Heartbroken over here for Federer, but Rafa earned it. I've never seen such a high quality match, not even the Sampras-Agassi matches were that good. Hats off to Nadal.

I'm sure they'll both be back for the last tournament of the year this Aug/Sept: the US Open.
 
Did you see the sincere sportsmanship, respect and admiration these two have for each other? You could tell it hurt Federer to lose, even though he'd own 5 in a row already. But class act that he is, he still command incredible respect by fan and opponent as well. And Nadal... shoot, he's only 22! He himself shows a great aplomb and yet enthusiastic love for the game, coupled with a level of appreciation for what he's done and against whom, rare in anyone. He literally called Federer the "greatest ever" or something close to that. I just wish Roger could win ONE at Roland Garros, though.

With Federer being only 27, these guys could be carrying this battle even longer. With that kind of class act between these two, here's hoping they have many more meetings on Center Court!
