In the latest, magnificent chapter of their storied rivalry, Rafael Nadal dethroned five-time champion Roger Federer by winning the longest-ever Wimbledon men's final. The consistently heart stopping 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (8-10), 9-7 classic began at 2.35 pm and, thanks to a couple of breaks for rain it ended at 9.15 pm with the 22-year-old from Mallorca dropping to the ground with his arms outstretched in celebration. With the win, Nadal matched Bjorn Borg's fantastic feat of winning the Grand Slams at the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back and also prevented Federer from surpassing the five titles in a row Borg collected between 1976 and 1980. Conditions for the latest duel between tennis's two finest players could not have been more demanding. The rain, which delayed the start for 27 minutes, eventually cleared but the chill, gusting wind which accompanied it persisted throughout the match, blowing winning shots off course and making life even more difficult for the two competitors. That they coped so well spoke volumes for their skill and adaptability. The match is being proclaimed as the greatest Grand Slam finals of all time. The Spaniard, who had squandered two match points in a nerve-shredding fourth set tie-break, added a first All England Club title to his four French Opens, shattering Federer's dreams of an historic sixth successive Wimbledon trophy. 'It's impossible to explain what I felt when I won. I'm just very happy to win this title. I never thought I could win but to do so is a dream'; said Nadal who had lost the last two finals to Federer. It was late, very late, but not too late to crown a new champion.

I have purchased a lot of matches from Kultur (including the 2007 Final between them) all of which have been high quality, but quite honestly i was dissapointed and surprised by the overall recording quality of this match. I agree with one of the other reviewers, rent this, do not buy it. Rating - A thriller Hi Extremely exciting, really great to see this match again. Even if we know the end result, it's really top entertainment. The only thing I miss, is the interview with Borg,McEnroe and Becker before the match, and it would have been even better if the video was with McEnroe as a commentator. Rating - Its Widescreen but the picture quality sucks How do you get a 3 star review with a 5 star game? Just use a standard def picture and get a ton of artifacts when you convert from PAL to NTSC. Great game, pity about the picture. see more reviews See all movies starring Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer See all movies directed by Aeltc
