WE were there.! The Final set.!
It started off smoothly with both the players holding their serves with ease until rain stopped their journey at 2-2.! Disrupted the play for nearly half hour.!
And when the skies cleared, we knew that the players would be entering the arena for the one last time..
Both played some excellent tennis.! It was 7-7.! One erring in Federer's serve gave the much needed opening for Nadal.! He got his opportunity to break Federer.!
And so did he.! He was there..! He knew it.! He sensed it..We sensed it.! The Championship now seemed to be in Nadal's grasp.!
As they described, they were now playing in utmost darkness.! The sun waited till it's last ray only to see the end of this great battle.!
And so did we.! A Federer forehand error sent Nadal falling to the grass only to the feeling that he was the NEW WIMBLEDON CHAMPION.!
And so was he.! He had dethroned King FEDERER's reign at the Centre Court.!
A left hander had done it again.! (going back to the 80's where Mckenroe-a leftie- dethroned Borg, who also won 5 Continuous championships).!
A tennis match which kept the viewers glued for more than 6 hours.! The longest Wimbledon Final till date.! 4 hrs and 48 mins.! RIPPING aint the WORD.!
I consider myself truly lucky to have witnessed this phenomenan.!
ACCORDING TO ME, BOTH WERE CHAMPS.! CHAMPS IN THEIR OWN WAY.! I WISH THERE WERE "DRAWS" IN TENNIS..!
Even though i supported Nadal, TENNIS WAS THE TRUE WINNER.!
