Nadal Wins at Wimbelton

Breaking a 5 year stretch of great play and good luck by Roger Federer, Raphael Nadal finally broke through and won the men’s crown at Wimdleton Tennis club in a marathon match that was delyaed by rain, went five sets plus, and finished almost in darkness. A true match for the masses.

In the other men’s final, Venus Williams beat her sister Serena.  Note that I call it the other men’s final, as these two girls are so significantly more powerful than their competition that it makes it a bit of a joke.  Venus has won at Wimbleton 5 times now, a place where the grass surface rewards the most powerful players and punishes anyone who doesn’t have a super fast serve or a powerful forehand.    More news from the men’s final here!
