What an incredicle spectacle

Echoing sports fans the world over, I can honestly say today's Gentlemen's singles final at WIMBLEDON was the greatest tennis match I have witnessed.
RAFAEL NADAL collapsed to the turf after the Spaniard held off ROGER FEDERER,
6-4 6-4 6-7 (3-7) 6-7 (8-10) 9-7, to win his first Wimbledon title and halt the Swiss star's run of five successive titles at the All England Club.
Nadal missed two championship points in the fourth set in an epic match that stretched beyond four hours, in part because of rain delays.
The players seemed so evenly matched. One would seem on the verge of winning, only for the other to claw back in contention. We were enthralled. We even forgot a pot of water boiling on the stove!
I won't forget this tennis battle any time soon.
