the roger federer story continues……
With 6-0, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3 Roger Federer etched his name in the history of the wimbledon tournament. His opponent rafael nadal, the young spaniard was unable to redo the clay magic. Federer came in smashing with the first set and nadal resisted the dominance but still lost the second set. it was in the third set, when nadal came back and it seemed that the finals was not over as yet. it looked as if nadal’s aggression had finally overwhelmed the world no. 1, but federer did not succumb to nadal’s high octane moves and subsequently went on to win the fourth set, achieving his eight grand slams in just 27 majors.
the extraordinary sense of rivalry has created a lot of interest in contemporary tennis and perhaps it is this very rivalry that has made the both of them strieve for a better result everytime. though roger walks off with the golden trophy in his hands for the fourth consecutive time, rafael nadal has proved to be the champion in every sense. he has proved to his critics that there is more to him than just clay and that whether he plays on clay in paris or in the grassy courts of wimbledon he will always put up sterling efforts to win the game.
the contrasting styles of the players led to the clash of the swiss experience and the spanish aggression but this time the 24 year old swiss continues his romance with wimbledon….
