Nadal Topples Federer At Wimbledon
Rafael Nadal winning Wimbledon didn't really come as a shock to any of us and yesterday's final was certainly one of the best in history (well according to office female it was anyway but we suspect her remarks are purely based upon her untold admiration of Nadal's cut off vest and golden biceps!)
But seriously we know there are always winners and losers in sport, bringing us on to a very valid point. How do you keep cool and emotion free under the glare of the world's media? When all you want to do is throw your racket on the turf and scream like a girl, kicking things and scratching out your opponents eyes?
We have to give it to world number one Roger Federer though, he looked crestfallen, shocked and sad but there were no tears, not even those rapid tell tale blinks that signal the downpour! Nothing, the man is a machine but then again being a flouncing wussy hasn't got him to the top (most of the time anyway!). He said:
"I'm happy we lived up to expectations, but right now it's not much of a good feeling. It's not a whole lot of fun, but that's the way it is. I can only congratulate Rafa for a great effort."
But we wouldn't blame the fella for having a serious blubber when he got home though. Nadal said it was his dream and had predicted that the Spanish would set the record straight winning Euro 2008 and Wimbledon, and yes he was true to his word.
Any road just because the summer's tennis highlight (we're biassed of course!) is over it doesn't mean you can't get a load more racket action. There's still the US Open and the Davis Cup on the way! Check out Bodog's Tennis odds.
