Can't we just call it a draw?

I want them both to win!  Best Wimbledon final ever?  Discuss.

I just got up and checked BBC Sport to see who had won and saw it was still in progress. My first thought wasn't "Must put the TV on," but "What's wrong with the website? Why isn't it up to date?" The penny dropped and I switched on the TV to see Nadal bring up championship point and then win. I'm almost glad I didn't get to watch this one ans it would have been very nerve-racking (and I didn't even mind who won!). I can't believe Federer could bring himself back from a straight sets loss. I thought before the start of the fortnight Nadal would win but then Federer was playing so well that then I was thinking he would. On the whole I think they both deserved it but I'm quite glad Borg still has his (shared) record 'cos, you know, he won while I was a teenager and I can remember how we all drooled over him then!

Best since Ivan Goranesevich and I'm too tired to check the spelling of that. I've just written the same thing: pity anyone had to lose. Nadal was my man though...

OMG! I think that was THE best match I've ever ever ever watched. I was so rooting for Rafa; although, it was so awesome in every way. It was nailbiting wonderfulness.

Way to go, gentlemen!

It's times like these I wish I had a TV set. It would've bee fun to watch - but then I hadn't got what I did done, so I don't really mind. Except drooling over Nadal would've been nice. *g*

After all this, Miss Swot, I expect to see a 3,000 word short story about Wimbledon.
