Ball is bouncing as high as Ive seen it.

Playing like fast clay.

We have an even match.

Nadal actually gave away some points in that tiebreak even though he countered that with an ungoldy forehand. A little bit of a choke.
Not used to that with him.

No tiebreakers in the 5th set ... this could go a while.

TheSpyder 07-06-2008 01:44 PM

Got to be one of the best matchs ever. A classic indeed!!

brockguy 07-06-2008 01:54 PM

might have to wait until tomorrow :-(

Samarta 07-06-2008 02:09 PM

Man I hope they get it in today....What a match....

SCUDSBROTHER 07-06-2008 02:45 PM

On grass, it's a fight between an ice pick and a rifle. Don't know how the rifle can lose in that situation.

brockguy 07-06-2008 02:48 PM

When he has needed to serve big, Fed has delivered every time.. incredible...

a huge hold there..

SCUDSBROTHER 07-06-2008 02:49 PM

Same as last year. Nadal has it 15-40 on FED'S SERVE ,AND CAN'T BREAK HIM IN THE 5TH SET.

TheSpyder 07-06-2008 03:00 PM

Is this not one of the best sports match ups of all time. Jeez I've been glued since 9am...thank god I took my blood pressure meds.

Too, too good for anyone to loose.

That's amazing.

SCUDSBROTHER 07-06-2008 03:10 PM

Wow, kid broke Federer's serve in the 5th set. Huge progress.

SCUDSBROTHER 07-06-2008 03:18 PM

I am stunned. Didn't think he would ever win Wimbledon. He has an elephant's heart.

brockguy 07-06-2008 03:19 PM

will go down in history this match... well done nadal.. he is simply unbelievable.. should get rewarded with number 1 in the world by the year end as well..

ArlJim78 07-06-2008 03:21 PM

no doubt a historic match. the talent and will to win of these two are simply amazing.

Rileyoriley 07-06-2008 03:22 PM

He earned it today. Well done.:)

Coach Pants 07-06-2008 04:06 PM

Best match ever.

Samarta 07-06-2008 04:18 PM

One of if not the best match I've ever seen. Lots of heart, guts, and will on both sides. Federer was really torn up about it, you could tell when he was talking to McEnroe. But he knows he had his chances. He is now 3 for 29 in break chances in his last two slam finals against Rafa. That's the stat that will keep him up at night for a long time. Nadal gained a whole lot in the respect department. He is now becoming the guy that you can't beat.....can't wait for the U.S. Open. Night time at Flushing is as good as it gets.

Djokovic is my pick at the Open.
