championship point

finally, its all over. what a thriller!
King Fed reigns supreme

Congratulations to the FeDexpress, what a worthy champion!!

standing ovation
7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 2-6, 6-2

Nadal will regret those two 15-40 games at 1-1 and 2-2.
Anyways, he's coming back next year.

the aces certainly saved the Fed today, if only Nadal could develop a serve like that he'd be virtually indestructable. Even the greatest do have weaknesses and hey thumbs up to Nadal, up to this point Roger hadnt even won a grandslam and Nadal has 3.
something tells me its adios for Roger after this yr, Nadal will be number 1 by the end of 2008.

34 straight games on grass and 5 straight titles in a row. . . you have to give it to the master.

exactly. if he had taken one of them it would have been all over.

well Nadal gave it his best, he'll be back next year thats for sure hopefully with a better serve.

the reason he doesnt serve with so much power is because he is using his left hand to play even though he is naturally right-handed. i'm thinking with time he'd develop more power on that serve though.

the serve Rafa, the serve. Take note uncle Toni.
Fantastic spirit of sportsmanship between these two champions.

probably september

a good tournament, very sad Nadal lost but got nothing against Federer, there is nothing to hate about him. Congrats to Federer.

august 27. Hard courts is more open, expect the Djokovic's and the Davydenko's.

he's certainly improved considerably on his serve. Last yr's wimbledon he didnt even have as good a serve as this one.

24 aces to 1 for Federer. that ultimately proved the difference.

So does anyone think Federer is the greatest on grass?

That was the ultimate difference my brother! Spot on!

dinozzo:

Not anymore, Rafa has shown that with a better serve he can compete favourably. All others na wa o. Tennis is now Federer, Nadal and everyone else.

Of course yes, he just proved it once again.  Though, his reign is gradually coming to an end, no thanks to the more physically fit and tireless spaniard.

but as you said, the hard court is going to be more competetive. Djokovic will be stronger there but I can still see Federer win. Remember the Aussie open, he started slowly then in the third round or fourth not sure which, he lost a set then bam!!! he upped his game and won the match and thrashed his remaining opponents to win the open. Made everyone else look like beginners, it was amazing.

this rivalry is looking like Bjorg McEnroe rivalry years back. I hope it goes in the same trend .

ALL HAIL KING ROGER FEDERER

ALL HAIL QUEEN VENUS WILLIAMS    


am just too happy, words cant describe how I feel having my two favs win the Wimbledon titles!!!

My dad and I always disagreed on whether Venus would still come good, but thank God Venus has not disappointed me!!! U R D BOMB GURL!!!  

as for Federer, what else can I say? THE KING REMAINS THE KING!!!    

This was Rafa's chance. I can't believe he did not break in the fifth, especially as he seemed to have come to grips with the Federer serve.

I have a feeling someone else will show up on the scene next year. I bet Ancic or Djokovic or Gasquet(hes serve is improving and can make shots)

For the greatest ever, Federer's backhand certainly is poor and prone, especially to the high bounce.A two handed backhand or better backhand will murder that Nadal second serve. Federer kept having to move to the forehand.

Anyhow till next year.

Baghdatis really lit up dis tourney 4 me. He played much difficult opposition & was involved in d most thrillin 5-setters of d champs. Hope he can keep it up!

The Nadal - Federer 2007 Wimbledon final match has been dubbed as the 2^nd greatest Wimbledon final match of all times . . . bested only by the B. Bjorg - J. McEnroe final !

Ok guys, i know this is kind of belated but i got to do it for Venus and Nadal Fedexpress

Fed to Nadal:                                                   Take heart, you're getting there
I got lucky, you deserved it as well.


Show 'em haters 

oga PDF, sori but u can only get half glass

surely Federer has etched his name among the Wimbledon greats. a magnificient 5th set comfirmed him as the king of Grass. Way to Go Roger, , Way to Go,

Hi viee did you drop off the face of the planet or something .The Fed express is aiming to equal the 14 grand slam record set by Samprass and I think he will and even surpass it with the way hes playing.

ya great game the final turned out to be
must say that Nadal really  'up' his game
but fedex truly deserved the title
as for the record, i feel that if Nadal continues the way he played will be more challenge to Fedex on grass


B T W, hv u taken a glass of d drink?

@ Viee

i think Nadel has improved on grass in the last few tounaments, and the way he played in the 4th set was a testament that he can be more than a match for Federer in the near future.

i think he might just upset Roger if they were to meet in another Wimbledon final.

but we'll wait and see.
