Nadal dethrones Federer at Wimbledon

Wow greatest tennis match that I have ever scene! I'm still in shock that Federer actually lost... Im stunned...

One break!!!! Federer won only one break in 12-13 tries. Incredable! Nadal was an automaton. Great tennis match!

A stunning, unforgettable match. Two of the greatest athletes and competitors in the world slugging out an epic Wimbeldon championship. Hopefully this performance will make tennis relevant again in the United States. As Johnnie Mac said, "if this match can't bring Americans back to this beautiful game, I don't know what will."

How fun was this match to watch? Absolutely amazing...I was pulling for Federer to do it at least one more time though! The changing of the guard in the tennis world may now be official. It's too bad the general majority of the public doesn't find interest in professional tennis. Anyone who enjoys sport would enjoy watching these two athletes battle it out!

I flipped to a bit of it during what must have been a rain delay. The maudlin, hyperbole laden self aggrandisement of this game they used for filler exceeded the stuff even golf coverage can provide.

Watching Federer and how he handled a tough loss told me everything I need to know about the man. What a classy competitor. And what a remarkable display of talent and skill by both men. I hope this helps get Americans excited about tennis again.
