Game, Set, Federer
With Bjorn Borg watching in the stands, Roger Federer overtook Rafael Nadal in the 5th set and tied Borg's record of 5 straight Wimbledon titles. When Federer won the first of his 5 titles, he beat Pete Sampras who was trying to win his 5th straight. At some points yesterday Refael Nadal from Spain was looking like he would repeat history, but Federer took control and found some sprint late in the 5th set. I have been saying that Mens tennis has been boring of late. Too much Federer. Yesterday Nadal make Federer work and work hard. Nadal has arrived, tennis is about to get very interesting. I am looking forward to next month in Flushing where there should be a likely rematch. Posted by Steve in New York.
