WIMBLEDON 2008 - The Final - FEDERER v NADAL

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

So close, right until the very end. Brilliant final

What a game, two great players who will no doubt win many many more Grand Slams between them before they're done.

Spanish sport is certainly having a decent run just now.

I can't wait for Flushing Meadows, if they make it to the final there. I'll definitely stay up watching that. Bring on August!

They are now trying to blind two of the most talented players ever to grace the lawns of Wimbledon.

why do British people clap and cheer when the umpire asks them not to use flash photography

I don't really like tennis but wasn't that good...

 

[Trigger]

What a great day.

Lewis wins the Grand Prix and then Rafa wins Wimbledon.

 

[Beach Hut]

I wanted Federer but fair paly to Rafa he was quality

 

[Robot Chicken]

Missed it all. Heard it was good. Nice one Nadal!

 

[Cecil]

Tennis was the winner !

Tennis was the winner !

Absolutely. So nice to see proper tennis, and none of this serve and volley bollocks.

Right of Federer at your peril...

These 2 are light years ahead of the rest.

As much as I want Murray to do well, he must have watched that final and said to himself "jeez, I'm a long way off these guys"

Fantastic match to watch. Didn't mind who won, but I'm kinda glad that the Fed didn't break Borgs' record.

Federer was playing like that 1 in every four of his serves

I think Federer will win the US Open, Nadal just doesn't seem to be able to perform on the hard courts, think he went out there in the 3rd round last year, hopefully I can be proved wrong though. Venga en Rafa!

To true. It is just a shame we didn't have the follow up of "As a courtesy to the players please switch off all mobile phones" Followed by a round of applause.

Great final. Two fantastic sportsmen at their peak. Andrew Murray you will never come close to winning Wimbledon.

Of course, Rafa does have a footballing link in the shape of his uncle, Miguel Angel Nadal, known as 'The Beast Of Barcelona' for his somewhat...uncompromising playing style.

Probably best known in England for having his penalty saved by David Seaman in the shoot-out at Euro 96.

I would second that, he is just not in the class of these two boys......
