King Federer rules

Roger Federer made history by becoming only the second player ever to win five consecutive wimbledon titles(Bjorg was the other).

Though the climax was familiar, the script wasn't.It was easily the toughest Wimbledon match for Federer in the last five years.Nadal played very well,exploiting Federer's backhand again, forcing errors.Federer managed to win the first and third sets in tie-brakers and was really strugling to hold his serves in the fifth.Federer was down 15-40 in the fifth game,but managed to win that game and hold the serve.That was perhaps very critical and it turned out to be one,as Federer broke Nadal in the very next game and broke him yet again in the eight game to win the set at 6-2 and hence the championship.Scorecard read 7-6,4-6,7-6,2-6,6-2.

Federer made it five in a row,but looked beatable in this match,by Nadal who showed vast improvements and adaptability to Grass-court.It would be very interesting to see how Nadal delivers in the Grand slams before the next French.

With both Federer and Nadal looking to out-do the other in each others favorite surfaces, promises a lot more keen tussles between the two.So, Federer is the supreme king of Mens tennis now,but Nadal definitely is a serious contender for his throne.
