Bravo Rafa! 2008 Wimbledon Champion!!!
In the 22 years that I've watched tennis, I havent seen a better match, and this is perhaps the greatest every Grand Slam final played. Bravo Rafa!!! Roger could not have lost to a better player, and the significant improvements in Rafa's game showed. Roger staged a tremendous comeback with an attacking game that penetrated Rafa's defenses to event the score, but it was too late. Rafa prevailed 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (8-10), 9-7. This by far is my favorite sporting moment ever!!!!! Like Alan mentioned to Vijay during the 'On the spot' roundup, today's game needed medical clearance for viewers - there were so many heart stopping moments. Rafa has taken men's tennis to a whole new level, and this will lead Roger and Nole to improvise only further. I cant help but feel fortunate to have watched this exceptional match live - what a great time for tennis.
