Rafael Nadal Wins Wimbledon, Ends Roger Federer Run - Match Highlights
A Match That Could, Should Turn Anyone Into A Tennis Fan (For A Day, At Least)


I'm not a very big Rafael Nadal fan, but I'll gladly watch this match over and over again. A very deserving champion who defeated perhaps the game's best ever in a fashion that would make Hollywood proud.

Gracious in defeat, as you'll see or have seen through these videos, I've admittedly grown to appreciate him incrementally more today (tonight across the pond).

Enough talk, here's a few other match highlights and perspectives on what is probably one of the three best tennis matches of all-time.

I'm right there with you.  I'm not a very big tennis fan, but I couldn't help but watch the fifth set of the match today.  It was one of the great sporting moments.

That match was phenomenal...Federer led 4-2 in the 2nd and Nadal came back and won that set, then eventually won the match on his 4th Championship point at the latest possible stage.  I had no clue who was going to win the whole time sand I felt like Nadal slayed the beast in the end.  Federer battled back so many times and showed how cool and collected he is (almost erie how calm he looks all the time), not to mention good.  Nadal worked him to the end-an epic battle.  Both players played well, but I think Nadal outplayed Roger during the most important points.

This tops the Borg/McEnroe battle back in the day.

It was nice to see both players behaving like gentlemen during the interviews, as well...I hope that they can push each other to more finals(even close to this one!!)
