If you missed Rafael Nadal defeat 5 time Winbledon Champion Roger Federer today to win his first Wimbledon Title then you missed out. It was hands down the best tennis match I have ever seen. While I do not claim to be a tennis expert, I have been watching the sport since I was a child. I have seen all the greats win and lose and I have seen many epic battles but the match today between Nadal and Federer took the cake. These two guys played what I think is longest match in Wimbledon history according to what the commentators were saying. It was literally head to head all the way until the final match point (which was the third of the set) in the 5th. Rafael Nadal collapsed upon victory and then proceeded to climb some walls and jump into the stands to hug his family. It was pretty awesome. As John Mcenroe said "this was the greatest match I have ever seen and if this doesn't generate interest in our fine sport, then I don't know what will".
Here are a few more pics of my guy Nadal!
