Hah! People are funny. I just took a quick look at Google Hot Trends. In searching for news on today’s huge Wimbledon match between the #1 and #2 tennis players in the world, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, people have entered in the names as I have erroneously in the headline…so the headline is a tribute to them.
Anyway, there was an epic battle today between the two tennis rock stars. Nadal upset Federer on his own favorite surface in five marathon sets with the last one going to a 9-7 tiebreaker game. Federer (or Roger Fedder!) was going for his SIXTH STRAIGHT WIMBLEDON TITLE, PEOPLE! He would’ve been the first in over a century to do so.
It was the longest Wimbledon match in history with all the rain delays.
ESPN has more. ESPN is also replaying the match on ESPN Classic tomorrow at 7pm EST. Raphael Nadal wants you to watch!

What an epic five set match by the two titans of tennis. My eyes were glued to this marathon for 4 hours and 48 minutes! This was the greatest and perhaps the best quality tennis I have ever witnessed in any tournament. Congrats to Nadal for taking down the great Federer.
