This will go down as a momentous day in my life...last night i saw a fighter defeating a leader in a nerve-shredding epic show of one's skill and perseverance @ -- WIMBLEDON finals '08. Yep ...the indomitable..RAFA defeating the ruling champ FEDERER and earning a title for Spain which has been eluded since 1966. Also becoming only the second player after Bjon Borg..winning roland garros and wimbledon in the same year...WOW!! m sure..rank 1 wld be next on his mind...
It was the most thrilling match one cld have imagine in which the clay court champ, NADAL - ended Federer's aura of invincibility on green court, with an awesome display of skill and a "never give up" attitude.
He totally ruled the game from the word go, winning the first two sets and showing a sign of wrapping the game as early as third set..but then lightning strike(literally) and match went for a toss due to rains..
when game resumed..things changed..Fed's survival instinct kicked in..and the match went through series of tie breakers into the fifth set...where NAdal's survival instinct prevailed over Fed's mental toughness.. hmm...hell of a match..
Kudos to Nadal--- a true braveheart...
Cheers!
