Rafael Nadal is the new Men's Wimbledon Tennis champion after beating Roger Federer 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (8-10), 9-7 in an amazing match which must rank as one of the best in the tournaments long and illustrious history.
The first two sets were all about Nadal and you sensed that Federer was struggling just to keep up with the Spaniard and the rain delay was probably more kind to Federer as it gave him an opportunity to analyze and put right where his game was letting him down although Nadal's determination was without question.
Nadal could have sewn things up in the third set but Federer won the tie-break and then repeated the feat in the fourth set taking it to the ultimate five set thriller which could quite easily have gone either way.
At 2-2 in the final set I can remember thinking I will feel sorry for the player that loses this match because neither deserved to lose as this was professional sport at its best and a credit to professional Tennis.
When the end finally came the presentation was carried out in near darkness a measure of how long the match lasted and there is now no doubt about how much Rafael Nadal has improved over the past year as he looks ready to make his mark as the Men's World number one.
