- geniusNOTatWORK, on 07/06/2008, -3/+80the tie breaker after the 4th set was incredible. i was rooting for Federer to keep his streak but after 4 and a half hours, either one deserved a win.
- ogmak, on 07/06/2008, -6/+75Longest game every in Wimbledon history, and 4 championship point opportunities...truly the most exciting game I've ever seen.
- danh42, on 07/06/2008, -10/+77brilliant match!!!
- canewediggit, on 07/06/2008, -1/+55got a good laugh at mac's attempted hug of federer. roger really didn't look like he wanted that.
- Flea08, on 07/06/2008, -4/+58Greatest tennis match I have ever seen.
- jveezy, on 07/06/2008, -1/+51Without a doubt in my mind this is the greatest match ever. This is a match you tell your children about. I was watching when Nadal finally beat Federer at Wimbledon. If I could see another match in my lifetime that even comes close to that level of excitement I will be very grateful. Here's to a future of more fantastic matches between these two fantastic players!
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -1/+51Such a superb match. They both played with such tenacity.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -4/+50Reminded me of Agassi Vs Sampras finals.
- RegularJohn, on 07/06/2008, -3/+39The game was simply wonderful. Almost 5 hours long!
- Sevfan, on 07/06/2008, -1/+35That was such an amazing joy to watch. I love how passionate this sport is. All these feelings well up inside when such titans clash. Raving joy...anger...excitement...sadness. I cheered myself hoarse for Roger - never thought I'd do that after rooting against him previously when he played Sampras or Agassi. Jesus that was awesome. So emotional at the end. I love football, but it can never approach the intimacy of tennis. It makes it SO intense. My heart is still pounding out of my chest. I wish tennis would receive the acclaim it so truly deserves.
- Shadic, on 07/06/2008, -2/+34Then don't click Diggs related to tennis, dumbass.
- darkchild82, on 07/06/2008, -1/+33What a match! Nearly 5hrs long... I was rooting for Federer because I wanted him to break Bjorn Borg's record but at the end, you just couldn't say Nadal didn't deserve to win! Fantastic match and what a year for Spain! First Football and now Tennis :-)
- soupcancooloff, on 07/06/2008, -4/+33Interesting Match Statistic: Total Points won by Nadal: 209; Federer 204
http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/scores/stats/day14/ ... - bizarrorollins, on 07/06/2008, -1/+29I was cheering for Roger the whole way through. I couldn't stand hearing all the negative press that he was getting after the French Open about how he had lost a step. It seemed like everyone was calling for a Rafa victory before the first ball hit grass. That said, both played an amazing match and without a doubt gave it everything they had.
It was definitely a match that deserves the "epic" tag. - colonelbuckshot, on 07/06/2008, -0/+28What a game. Both players played like champions, it was a shame one had to lose.
- eatasandwich, on 07/06/2008, -2/+30Call it "World Series Tennis" and only have Americans taking part.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -7/+34I wish Federer had won, but never mind! Well done Nadal...
- borninda818, on 07/06/2008, -1/+28Longest final match***
- yokel, on 07/06/2008, -1/+21yeah..the tie breaker was amazing. Federer did an amazing job of coming back from 5-2 in favor of Nadal.
- yokel, on 07/06/2008, -5/+24One of the best matches I've seen! Epic! Well done Nadal!
- javin666, on 07/06/2008, -2/+21The highest quality tennis I've ever seen.
- Rust, on 07/06/2008, -1/+20I really wanted Federer to win, but Nadal has literally waited 5 years for this moment so he probably deserves it more.
- Juice7, on 07/06/2008, -4/+20Amazing job Rafa...couldn't have happened to a better guy.
- CenturionMonkey, on 07/06/2008, -2/+15They both played an amazing match. Like the commentators said, it was probably the greatest match in history. Both players were at the top of their game (mostly) and it was just a thrill to watch. Nadal deserves it, however, I think if Federer didn't drop serve to make it 8-7 he would have won. But he did and Nadal won, and he deserves it. You could tell just how happy he was when he won.
- Seph7, on 07/06/2008, -3/+15Oh yea I mean it's such a shock with you being so superior and all.
- snoogit, on 07/06/2008, -2/+14Because in America, if you can't get an athletic scholarship to play it, its not worth playing.
- Opethian, on 07/06/2008, -2/+13The arrogance of this comment sums it all up.
- MrSkills, on 07/06/2008, -2/+13"the best athletes in Europe are playing tennis while here everyone is playing basketball and football"
You make it sound like everyone just plays Tennis in Europe. Tennis is no bigger a sport in Europe than it is in America, and there are just as many more popular sports, so this is not a valid explanation.
The U.S. had years of being dominant with Sampras etc. It just so happens that there are some big European players at the moment. These things come in waves. - borninda818, on 07/06/2008, -0/+11They both deserved it. I just wanted Federer to win so much. I like the way he caries himself and his class.
- Flea08, on 07/06/2008, -2/+12Stupid rain delays..... Definitely worth spending all day watch this though.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -1/+11In all honesty the best match I have ever seen.
- Bkaufman, on 07/06/2008, -1/+10Just awesome....I hope maybe more Americans will watch this great sport now.
- duggynyc, on 07/06/2008, -1/+10This match made me a tennis fan!
- mickstephenson, on 07/06/2008, -2/+11When you say football do you mean the beautiful game or retarded armour-rugby?
- AvidPreatorian, on 07/06/2008, -3/+12of=have*, spanish people=Trav3133*
- gonzoceltic, on 07/06/2008, -4/+12This match says a lot about Federer . . . It took Nadal everything he had -- and more -- to win this.
- martinvives, on 07/06/2008, -2/+10trolls are annoying
- 333cale, on 07/06/2008, -1/+9Absolute kudos.
The greatest and longest Gentlemen's Singles Wimbledon Final in history - and Rafael Nadal is the well deserved champion. - Sevfan, on 07/06/2008, -0/+8retarded armour-rugby.
- jpetrides, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7By far the most exciting tennis match I've ever seen. I missed sets 3 and 4 and caught set 5 at 2-2. I've been a huge college football (american) fan all my life and a big Michigan fan. Naturally, Michigan-Ohio State games really got my heart pounding and competitive juices flowing, but this match totally blew that away. Tennis is so much more intense than any other sport out there. It is like golf in that it requires unbelievable precision and is very personal, but add the dimension of having to do all of it when you are physically exhausted and tennis is hard to match.
Another thing I noticed, both Federer and Nadal both win and lose with such class and respect for each other and for the game. Look at the post-match comments each made. Nothing cocky, nothing self-absorbed like you see in the American sports football and basketball. These two remind us what sportsmanship is all about. What a legendary match. - DLRULZ, on 07/06/2008, -1/+8I think he had an opportunity to beat his record, they were tied at 5.
- Niz1, on 07/06/2008, -2/+9Nadal showed a lot more skill in this match he truly deserved to win, he came to Championship point 3 times and on the third he finally did it what a battle it was more intense than any football match, yes i said it, they were pretty much neck and neck on the three sets and break points.
you cant ask for a more intense final. - mickstephenson, on 07/06/2008, -0/+7lol, you're a good sport, kudos
- theexitwound, on 07/06/2008, -2/+9I was on the edge of my seat for all five hours!
- whazdown, on 07/06/2008, -1/+8Probably the best final of all time, some of the shots / returns from both players were simply brilliant. Even with all the rain breaks and fading light, both players were fantastic.
- 1Bad, on 07/06/2008, -1/+7I was rooting for Federer as well but was so happy to see Nadal win because it was such an epic battle and he was very deserving. What a roller coaster ride though, by the time it was over I felt like crying too! .
- toaofrizell, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6Longest Wimbledon final ever, well done Nadal
- yelnatz, on 07/06/2008, -2/+8Both of them deserved it.
- L0U15, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6Ivanisevic's win in 2001 still edges it for me on a purely emotional basis, but this had better tennis technically speaking.
- SirChavez, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6By far one of the most exhilarating matches I have ever seen. Despite watching the match through my television, the tension at Centre Court was palpable. I can only imagine what it must have been like to witness this epic upset in person. Rafa winning Wimbledon was inevitable, but I didn't expect it to come this soon. Kudos to Roger and Rafael for an amazing display of tennis prowess, proving why they are the two best male tennis players around right now.
