federer found something that worked against nadal this match. before he never had a go to shot like nadal had hitting heavy topspin to fed backhand. federer worked the inside out forehand to nadal’s forehand for a winner so many times. this is the first time i have seen him find a sloution to nadal’s game, hopefully nadal doesn’t tire out on the US hardcourts as he does every year and they play again in the us open final.

has anyone noted that weird bulges in nadals pants might be explained by the fact that he was serving and had tennis balls stuffed in his pockets?

maybe i missed something, but Federer gave it away. his first serve % must have been crap and how many unforced errors did he have?

Nadal may be a great tennis player with a huge pork sword but he wears freakin’ capri pants on the court. For that reason alone, I cheer for his defeat.

Incredible tennis match, was right up there with the US Open. The reason I say it may have been a bit better is that we did not find out about Tiger’s knee until after the Open, had we known about the knee and leg while that playoff was going on it would have made the playoff all the more compelling live. Watching Wimbledon yesterday you just knew this was one of those sports moment that would be talked about forever, 2 giants of their sport matching wits for hours.

Oh. I don’t follow baseball, so I guess that’s why I don’t get it. Didn’t he make the All-Star team though? What the.

Assuming he does suck, holy crap does the TBL server suck lately.

I was inside Sunday watching the final because this is my last week of summer classes and I had a bunch of backlogged work that needed finished.

I had a better experience watching the US Open final simply because it was at a bar with my boss and coworkers in the middle of a Monday workday. But I think the Wimbledon final was better from a sports drama perspective. I just did not have the same experience

Billy Wagner = nickname given to TBL’s server as it sucks as much as the pitcher.
