Zilko's English Blog: Wimbledon 2008's Final

I watched the Gentlemen's Finale of Wimbledon 2008 between Roger Federer (SUI, world number 1) and Rafael Nadal (ESP, world number 2). It first appeared that seemingly Nadal would win the match easily after winning the first 2 sets 6 - 4; 6 - 4. But then, the match turned dramatically to one of the bestest matched I have ever seen!! Federer proved why he is world number 1. Starting on the third game, the match was really neck to neck causing a tie break. Federer won the tie break by 7 - 5. The third game was Federer's. The fourth game was no different. It was also a great match ended with another tie break. Federer again owned this match after winning the tie break by 10 - 8. The score was 2 - 2 now and the final set must be played. After the score was 2 - 2 and Deuce (40 - 40), a rain suspended the match, hahaha... :) The last set was also an intense and great set. They both played super-greatly. Unfortunately in the 15th game (the score was 7 - 7 and Federer served) Federer made some mistakes causing Nadal stole a point from him. On the 16th game, Nadal won the match!! Wow!! Congratz Nadal!!

Honestly at first I rooted for Federer to create a world record by winning Wimbledon 6 times consecutively. But watching the match, well, it was so intense and Nadal is also a great player!! hahaha... . It really was one of the bestest match I have ever seen!!

O yea, it was so obvious that Nadal was so joyful that he sobbed a bit. It was also obvious that Federer looked really really disappointed. Yea, of course, with that close match, it must have been depressing to lose, but that was a match!! Hmmm

::: Nadal was so joyful after he won the finale

::: disappointed Federer

::: Nadal and his trophy

Anyway, on the Ladies Double, Serena Williams and Venus Williams won the final match!! Wow. They won the Ladies Double and they were both on the final of Ladies Single!! Wah!! Great Job!! hahaha...
