Anyone watch the men's final? Best match I've seen in a while, with ups and downs for both Federer and Nadal, and even a request by Federer to turn Hawk Eye off.
That's 5 straight Wimbledon titles for Federer now, and the final match was the first time Federer ever had to go into the 5th set at Wimbledon. Is this guy incredible or what? Nadal is great and all, and I think in 2 or 3 few years he will be beating Federer on a regular basis (assuming no carreer threatening injuries on either side), but Federer . . . what a competitor. The coolest thing was way back, they built a custom court for an exhibition match between Nadal and Federer, half clay (Nadal's best), half grass (Federer's best), and Nadal won. Yeap.
And on the women's side, Venus Williams, after not playing last season and the beginning of this season winning it all. Not bad eh? I felt bad for all the hot Russian chicks she steamrolled on her way to the championship.
