A very very good game, some awesome tennis played there.

I thought Nadal was letting nerves get to him in the late 4th set, but he held on.

Wimbledon looks very interesting this year, expecially if this Federer/Nadal rivalry continues.

Great final, really was. Nadal is fucking awesome.

I have never seen him on grass though, at least I don't think I have, I wonder if he is any good, if he is, he has a certain chance of winning Wimbledon but I'll still go with Federer.

Just for the record, has anyone ever won 3 Wimbledons in a row?

3 in a row has been done many times, though only by two men in the last 30 years. Sampras' 7 out of 8 is just stupid though.
