Nadal did it!

WOW, what a match it was. Truly unbelievable, the way it was turning sides must have made every spectator's heart pound and race! This match goes down the history as the longest match in Wimbledon history in terms of time elapsed.
Rafael Nadal defeated Roger Federer 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(8), 9-7 in Wimbledon 2008 finals. Nadal had 3 championship points in the match before he actually converted the 4th championship point in a win for him. Federer was almost in tears after the match and said that it hurts. He has said that he will return next year. On the other side, Nadal was short of words as this was really a Dream-come-true for him.

Spain is all over the news in Sports after they won Euro 2008 last sunday and now Nadal brings home some more honors.

Though I am a big fan of Federer, this time I supported Nadal. It's time that he should have snatched something from Federer.

But Federer showed his class once again, proving one needs loads of extra talent, power, stamina, patience to really beat him.

This match made me skip Asia cup final and watch this.

You know, I am also a big fan of Federer and I wanted him to win yesterday :D. The way he showed his grace on the court yesterday was really great. Otherwise how many times you see a runner-up doing rounds of the court with the runner-up trophy. Nevertheless, Nadal deserved to win this, the way he also kept his cool and played some of the shots in the last two games was clear indication of the fact that he is so much concentrated on the game even in such tense moments.
Remarkable match for every one :)
