Clear! Clear!
What a match! Best Wimbledon final since the Borg-McEnroe epic! The reason we watch tennis! Brilliant shot-making, nervy plays, every inch of the court a battlefield, two magnificent players hanging their balls out there! I can’t stop using exclamation points! Roger Federer wins his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title, beating Rafael Nadal 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 2-6, 6-2. The first grand slam final in which Roger really had to dig in, and he did it. Even lost his temper—at a machine. My nerves are shredded, I have to vomit out my heart. Read it yourself!
Interesting factoid. The last time The Fed was in a five-setter at Wimbledon: his 2001 match against Pete Sampras, who was also going for his fifth consecutive title.

You are so right, that definitely was one for the ages. That match will go down as one of the best in Wimbledon history..
If only Fed could muster enough to play much better in clay…

Hee! I love goofy Fed!
Since his tennis is goofy too—goofy sublime!
My nerves haven’t recovered yet. But Roger was just awesome!
