INCREDIBLE. These two are real-life superheroes. What other two professional athletes have ever been so physically and technically dominant AND absurdly humble, especially in the midst of such a close professional rivalry? I was hoping (and pretty honestly assuming) that Federer would take the record and win 6 in a row, but who in the world can complain about the match he and Rafa gave the world last Sunday? Rain delays and drama abounding, Nadal took home his first Wimbledon title 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7 just after 9 pm, proving beyond a doubt in even his toughest critics' minds that he is far more than just a clay courter who's been lucky and, perhaps even more incredible, that Roger Federer is actually a human being.
