Rafael Nadal, in a truly epic Wimbledon final, dethroned Roger Federer in five sets to be the first man since Bjorn Borg to win the French and Wimbledon titles in the same year. Todays matched, twice delayed by rain, will go down as possibly the greatest Wimbledon mens final ever played. It certainly brings us back to the Borg -McEnroe wars that have been the gold standard at Wimbledon for over twenty five years. Nadal won 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(8), 9-7. A great win for Nadal, and a heroic effort by Federer. As I picked Nadal to win in five sets I must take an obligatory bow here.
