I threatened to go to bed and get some sleep, but I just had to stay up and watch the end. What an amazing match! Well done to both players.

Nadal the first man since Borg to win the French and Wimbledon in the same year.

Fed's #1 ranking is in danger over the next couple of months.

Best tennis match I've seen in 25+ years! Nadal deserved the win. And kudos to ch. 9 for staying with the presentation.
 
geez it got really dark at the end!!

The last time a player have won both the french open and wimbledon in the same year was back in 1980. Really amazing effort by Nadal!
 
Wow what a match.
One of the greatest sporting events I've had the pleasure watching. Two of the greatest ever to play their sport this was the best of the best just going at each other it dosn't get much better than that anywhere.
Nadal deserved to win, federer didn't deserve to lose both should be congratulated for putting on a show that will be remembered and reverred for a long time

Excluding the French, this is the first Grand Slam final that Federer has lost.

Prior to this match, he was 3/3 at the Oz, (0/3 at the French), 5/5 at Wimbledon and 4/4 at the US Open.
 
____ I'm so tired and I'm supposed to go to work now :rolleyes:

Had one red bull, will probably go in and have a 2nd. Maybe finish work early, come home, and sleep then.

But shit, what a match :thumbsu:
 
I've got a week off from work and no need to get up early but I went to bed at 4 after Federer won the 4th set. I thought he'd win. :(

But I'm so glad he didn't!

Get that into you Federer
&
your annoying wife
&
the even more annoying Gwen Stefani and husband duo. (who couldn't possibly have been any more annoying if they'd tried)

The better man won.

The real man won. :)

I woke up at 4:30 this morning and watched it from there. What a match well done to both players and to get the match over with about 20 minutes of light left.

Also congrats to Sam Stosur who won the Mixed Doubles title with American Bob Bryan when they defeated American Mike Bryan and Katrina Srebotnik form Slovakia 7-5 6-4 in a match that lasted just over an hour and finished at 9:34pm local time (6:34am AEST). Pity Channel Nine didn't stay for that.

Katerina Srebotnik is from Slovenia
 
Once I saw Gwen Stefani in the crowd I wanted Nadal to win. What a tool.
