I’ve been watching the Federer vs. Nadal matches for years now, but today’s match has been the best of them yet :beam:

Yes, is the Wimbledon final (UK Open). The french open is the Roland Garros

Blah - I meant to say Wimbledon!

I was hoping Federer would win. Oh well. Time to wallow around disappointed for a bit longer ☹

Nadal totally deserved this one Kirupa 😉

Great game! One of the best Tennis matches I’ve ever seen.

Fantastic match for sure. Really wanted Federer to pull this one out though.

I only had one hour sleep because of the final ☹ stupid time difference!!! 😃  
I was rooting for Federer as well…really nice comeback, but he had to many opportunities that he didn’t make. Not a big fan of Nadal, but you have to respect the progress he made on grass…he gets stronger every year. Don’t know how long Federer can hold number 1. Still a big fan of him though and really hoping that he gets back to his form.

BTW: What do you think of the logo design for his line: RF/Nike  
I really like the Tiger Woods one, but don’t know yet how to feel about the RF.

Funny Fact: I had the same driving instructor like Federer back in Switzerland 🙂

I had money riding on it for nadal to win, which made it even more exciting. But it really was one of the best tennis matches i have seen for a long time. Those two are just incredible!

I hated Nadal’s sissy pre-match antics.

I think this might be a changing of the guard now, I think Nadal might dominate for a while and Federer finds himself slipping back to number 2

It’s a shame really. I hoped Federer would win his 6th Wimbledon in a row, but it wasn’t to be… Oh well… hopefully this defeat will fuel him with greater desire to put Nadal back in No. 2.

I’m just glad Venus finally regained her title, man that was a good match
