Finally, my favourite tennis player Rafael Nadal won the Wimbledon crown which has eluded him in the past 2 years. I thought Nadal was one of the strong contenders as he just won the French open title before this event. He is always hailed as the ‘king of clay’ but this time he proved that he is the king on other surfaces too. Roger Federer has been the defending champion for the last 5 years and he was also one of the favourites.

Watching these two great tennis player pitted against each others might was really impressive. Nadal was already leading with two sets but after the rain it was Federer who took the other two sets. The last set was a finger biting match with each player trying to save the last match point and it was finally Nadal that prevailed.
This game also broke many old records. It was the longest final game in Wimbledon which lasted for 4 hours and 16 minutes. Nadal also became the first man since Borg to win the French open and Wimbledon in the same year. Nadal is currently the second ranked tennis player. He is ever improving and with his never say die attitude, I am sure that he will be the no.1 soon.
