That was such an incredible match. Both players belong to the best players ever. This was the longest single final at wimbledon ever! Soo much fun!! Tho federer should have one!

definitely the best match i have ever seen. i was so happy to see nadal take the title. he is without a doubt my favorite player. i have so much respect for federer though. that guy is amazing. this match is definitely going down in history.

yea im the same way, i turned it on in the beginning of the 5th set before the rain delay expecting it to be over, but im glad i waited to watch the end.

how you can play tennis for that long without collapsing is beyond me

and no tiebreaker, so they keep playing till some one wins by 2. That was by far the longest match i've ever seen and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well played between nadal and federer, I was rooting for rafa and he deserved this win, he played great.

If nadal would have lost i would have FLIPPED out, he had 3 championship points and so many chances to put it away but federer being the man he is brought it back everytime.

big call. Nadal is good. But nothing beats federer. Nadals only beaten him a handful of times compared to the many when hes won.

nadal hasn't beaten federer often, but this is the first time he has beaten him twice in a row, and the first time at wimbledon. nadal should absolutely be 1 because he has now won the past 2 major

actually rafa has a sick record against him, mostly because he kicks his ass every year in france. 

side note: did anyone notice mcenroe holding back his tears as he interviewed federer?
