When I was a young man Wimbledon was something to look forward even though we struggled to get any English players past round one. Borg , Gerulailtis , Nastase. Conner's and McEnroe made tennis very watchable, exciting and Gladiatorial. After the mid-eighties tennis went through the doldrums with hardly any tennis played as the big serve ruled . Today my faith has been restored, surly the greatest men's final took place last night even surpassing the classic five setter with Borg and McEnroe . Even if your not a tennis fan watching Nadal and Federer battle it out for nearly 5 hours on a windy blustery day playing unbelievable tennis would surely of grabbed your attention.
Fantastic match with never a dull moment. The right person won and it was just great to see a very sporting Federer hug Nadal at the end. No wonder Wimbledon is still the best tournament in the World.
