Ooops…HE did it again!

First, the French Open, this time the Wimbledon, two consecutive finals win, my idol Rafael Nadal is 2008 Wimbledon champion.  He beats Roger Federer in a five thrilling sets in the finals.  Accordingly, this is the best final ever in the Wimbledon history.  What can you say about that?  In fairness to Federer, he remains to be the World Number 1 in Tennis, his backhand stroke is just extraordinary, he hit the tennis ball way too hard.  Nevertheless, my idol Nadal’s performance last night was just over-the-top, far more than the usual and expected.

Almost all of my workfellows here in mina seem siding against my idol as we watched last night the 5 epic hours of strenuous and worth watching Wimbledon finals.  At first I thought I will not be able to catch the finals as I was working yesterday overtime since I am set for a month’s break in the Philippines.  Good thing though it rained and their play had to be stopped and I was able to watch their match.  Lucky me!

Nadal last night was just phenomenal and he played fantastically.  From the words of Nadal, after asking if it was greatest match he had ever played, he said, “I don’t know if it’s the best,” “Probably,” “Probably the best, yes.”  Nadal really indeed overcame rain, darkness, and the valorous effort of Federer to keep on his 5 year winning streak at Wimbledon.

Nothing much to say but just congratulations to Nadal and more spectacular match to come!

Final score of the match: Nadal beat Federer 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7 for his first Wimbledon title

Thanks to CNN, www.cnn.com and for my Sony digital cam that I had to take pictures from my television just to show support and share the winning experience of my idol Rafael Nadal.
