Transcendental Tennis – Nadal and Federer
I chose this clip. It is too painful to show a clip of how Federer dumped his ball into the net and lost after almost 5 hours of playing on the court.
Nadal’s win was anticipated by many tennis fans who have been following Tennis. Federer came back and fought hard after losing two sets to win two more until he lost in the final. Federer could not break Nadal’s serve. He won two tie breaks against Nadal and unfortunately for Federer, Wimbledon does not have a tie break for the final set.
Today, Nadal and Federer represented tennis played at its absolute highest level and with its most generous and admirable spirit, and that’s why I think they are the greatest rivalry the sport has known, since I’ve been watching. (Dispatches: A Post-Wimbledon Dialogue – 3quarksdaily)
